One Motorcycle Show
My name is Brenden Smith and I am an artist, mostly a
painter. I have promised 3 large painted
pieces (48” x 60”) to the 1 Motorcycle Show in Portland, OR, Feb 13, 14, and
15th and am trying to raise gas and lodging funds to get my paintings and
myself up there.
An artist is always trying to get their artwork in front of as
many of the right type of people as possible and this show, in it’s sixth year is
an amazing opportunity. To have every bike builder, bike blogger and
industry representative in the US in attendance, as well as every curious motorcycle
enthusiast in the Portland, OR area, see my art at this even may result in a
sale or other opportunity.
It’s hard to cash a check on a maybe, so I’m asking my friends
for help.
It’s almost 4,000 miles, round trip from my apartment in Aspen,
CO to the middle of Portland, OR. My
truck gets a 16mpg. Gas is cheap right
now but if I estimate it at $4 a gallon, we’re talking $1000. I added $500 for food, lodging and missing
three days of work.
This is a big deal and a huge gamble that I’m not used to
making. Some financial backing and
support from my friends would go a long way to making this happen for me. $20 is good, $50 is awesome. If you throw down $100 or more I’ll get you a
signed art print of one of my newer pieces.
