Thanks, guys! <3
What's this about?
This is a project I plan to complete before the end of the year: Drawing and painting and cutting and gluing (and whatever the heck else) mixed media pieces to send to those backing this campaign. I hope it will help me improve my skills and I can spread a little art-love to more places in the world.
Funding for this project is flexible because you can only use PayPal for fixed funding, and the Indiegogo help centre says, "PayPal recently implemented a policy that places a block on any account that pre-sells goods for longer than 30 days without fulfilling them. The criteria to lift the block will vary for each account. In a worst-case scenario, PayPal could start reversing payments, sending contributions back to contributors. If you are not sure if you'll be able to ship goods within 30 days, consider disabling PayPal as a payment option."
The perks for this project will not be sent out within 30 days and may take until the end of the year (the project deadline is 31 December 2013), so I think it's better not to risk a potential incursion from PayPal. Not reaching the goal shouldn't get in the way of the project being fulfilled, -- though let's still try to make it!
Please check out the gallery for examples of some of my work. Thank you! (Note: There is some nudity.)
Have you done anything like this before?
I've done two projects similar to this on Kickstarter; one is 100% complete, the other will be finished before the end of October. Though my second one isn't complete yet, the first one (Circus Girls Sketches & Paintings) was completed on-time without a hitch.
I used to sell my artwork on Etsy, but recently moved to Storenvy. I've also participated in private swaps with people on Flickr and swaps on Swap-bot (mostly art cards).
What are the perks?
You can see the perks to the right, but I will explain a few more things in detail here:
Shipping - Shipping costs need to be added to your funding amount for your item(s) to be shipped, so please don't forget them. If you do forget, I can accept it through PayPal.
Art cards - If you don't know what an art card (ACEO/ATC) is, you can read about them here.
Surprises - The surprise options are just as they sound: They're surprises! Who doesn't love surprises?!
Themes - The theme options are below. When selecting these options, you may also request small things like hair colour, eye colour, skin colour, or freckles if you wish.
• Science-fiction/space/aliens
• Circus/carnival
• Fantasy
• Steampunk
• Hallowe'en/occult/witchy
• Alice in Wonderland/Through the Looking-Glass (books)
• Something strange (girl with bear head or mushroom eyes or who knows what else)
• Whatever/any theme/no theme
Please note that nudity may be involved. If you aren't okay with that, please let me know.
If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to contact me.
I can't fund this campaign, can I still help?
Of course! The best way to help is by telling other people about this project. I would appreciate it greatly! Indiegogo's short URL for this project is igg.me/at/eny-mm, but you can also use my short URL enygogo.does.it (which I think is tons easier to remember).
You can tell people about this project on
• Facebook
• Tumblr
• Twitter
• Google+
• YouTube
• A blog
• A bus
• A train
• A walk
• A jog
• A skateboard
• A bike
• A rampage
• Probation
Please, just share! :D
What risks might there be in funding this?
I could die or something. I think the most likely thing is that it may take longer to complete than I expected: I have really no sense of time and there may be more people backing this than expected and I am only one person. But, as I said, I've done it before. And, even if it does take longer for some reason, I will still complete the project and send out the perks. -- Unless I die beforehand, in which case I apologise; if it's any consolation, I have no plans to, especially since I'll have a project to complete and perks to send!
