        Sorry to hear the bad news. If you are going to be in Dallas, my couch is yours.
        Wish you the best on your new project

        You can come by Washington, DC. You've got a comfortable loft to sleep in.

    $2,000+!

    Hey guys,

    What a week, and it's not even over yet! I've literally been sending out hundreds of e-mails a day asking for support and simply asking people to check out the stop-motion video. Things are really kicking into high-gear and I couldn't be happier...yet we're still far away from the goal!

    Special thanks go out to my lovely mother, Tina Tepsic, who donated $1,000 to the fund. I love you, Mom!

    Shout outs go to: Ron Reason, Joan Ko, Cameron Huppertz, Kainoa Raymond, Alelx Knight, Dillon Lundeen-Goldschlag, Ames, Matt Gorman, Nick Grass, Michael, Kevin Van Belois, and Jodi.

    Special thanks to my good friends Dave Matte, Josh Lester, and Nickee Sayarath.

    Please help by spreading the word, spread the video, and let's keep a positive view on this project!

    Some recent write-ups I've received:

    Hopefully more will be on the way, cheers and thanks again guys!
    Morgan

    Questions with Morgan #2

    Good morning everybody living in North America, and good night to those in Asia...here is the second video of "Questions with Morgan". Please enjoy, and if you're ever curious...let me know!

    ...also stop e-mailing Kickstarter about putting my project on the front page, they e-mailed me telling me I was stupid for even suggesting that...which I totally was. So instead e-mail your mother today and tell her how much you love her. (or me, whichever)

    -Morgan

    An Interview with Morgan Tepsic...and YOU CAN TOO

    I think you guys should know I've literally been sending out hundreds of e-mails these past few days showing people the previous video I showed you. The response has been CRAZY! Over $1,200 has been raised because of it! I'm literally e-mailing anybody with a website, a love for art, and an e-mail address.

    I asked people who frequent my blog to ask some questions relating to my project and of course some random questions. Since I am basically spending 90% of my time sitting in front of my computer these days, I decided to make daily videos of questions being asked by "the people". I hope this gives you a better look inside my mind!

    Here's the first round of questions, feel free to message me your own and I'll answer them!

    Cheers and enjoy,
    Morgan

    Followin' some dreams.

    I wrote a lengthy blog post about how much this project means to me, how close I hold it to my heart, and how far I'm willing to go to pursue this dream. You can read it over here on my blog.

    I'm literally writing e-mails and sending out postcards every day now in hopes of funding more funding for this amazing project. I've even asked Kickstarter if they wouldn't mind putting me on the front page, among other cool projects.

    Shout outs go to Alesa Clymer, Charlotte, Lightrapping Blog, Billy Dixon, Lionel Lenoir, Felicia, and Sarah Jayne Keck! We're almost to our first $1,000!!

    I have also signed a contract with a production company based in San Francisco, CA. They are contributing $2,100 for this project, as well as assisting me with an exhibition in San Francisco when the project is completed! I'm also working about four jobs a week towards contributing to this project as well! I'm willing to do everything necessary to make this happen!

    Thanks again guys, you all are amazing. If you ever have a question or anything, feel free to message me.
    Morgan

    My backers, rock.

    Some awesome activity happening on this Kickstarter project this week!

    First off, I want to thank Chicago-based artist Vikton Van Bramer who pledged $100 towards this amazing project. Many thanks to him, and be sure to check out his artwork!

    Many thanks to Danie Peace, Will Davies, and Hyuewon Lee for your contributions as well!

    I have an exciting announcement to make with you all very soon, possibly later this week. But in the mean-time, please take 10 minutes out of your day to tell a friend about this amazing art project. Friends, family, fellow artists and co-workers. I need all the help I can get to make this project happen, and I can't do it without awesome people lending a hand!

    Again, everybody helping out with this project is amazing, and I appreciate it to no end.
