Posted project update #4Thank you's & THE FUTURE...
Post CommentThank you for your support!
While Kickstarter was unsuccessful, the idea is not lost. I am in talks with a few developers willing to partner with me, which potentially cuts $5,000 or so from the bill. That's great!As the site becomes a living, breathing thing, please sign up to the mailing list to hear about it: http://bit.ly/9QpPiU
Once the site goes into development, our hosting costs grow. If you want to donate* towards hosting, that would be amazing! You can do so via our paypal: http://stocky.us/donate/
Thank you again. Your support means a lot.
Harrison
*Because the original rewards are no longer feasible without a large population of contributions, I will not be able to send stickers, shirts and the like. I’m sorry!

Posted project update #3In the event that there is no funding...
Post CommentGreetings backers and non-backers!
It has been a rough ride so far. I have contacted a ton of individuals and companies, which has led to great advice and support. Notably, Creative Commons tweeted it, Download Squad blogged it, OpenSource.com blogged it and a few cool people helped out. Now that only 1/3 of the funding time is left though, I've braced myself for delaying the development of Stocky.
The idea is useful and worthwhile, but definitely niche. It applies to designers, artists and everyone in-between as long as they're computer-savy. It associates itself with open source, and has a slightly geeky front. Simply put: not everyone understands it.
That's great though. Niche is good. A specialized community for uploads, downloads and collaboration has a huge potential in the community, but stock media? Well it is the closest name for such content, but only the project itself can redefine 'stock media' to my hoped for, wide-ranging definition.
So the project. Yeah. How can it happen?
At this point there seems to be three possibilities in the future for Stocky.
1) Major enough press occurs last minute to fund development through Kickstarter
2) An awesome programmer generously partners with me to make the project happen
3) The idea sits and waits for a more opportune time (whenever I get funds or master a programming language).To me, #2 seems possible, and in this partnership I would share ownership in exchange for time and effort. If anyone knows a potential volunteer, please email me: info@harrisonweber.com
In Closing:
I want to thank my generous backers so much for their trust in this project. If funding is unsuccessful, nothing will be charged to your accounts and nothing is lost. Thanks to everyone for your support!Harrison

Posted project update #2Some press?
Post CommentWe've gotten a little bit of press on Stocky, so here's a link to something that was just published: Click for the article.
A quote: "What makes Stocky different and advantageous is that it supports all mediums of original work (photos,vectors, fonts, brushes, audio, templates, etc.), encourages open licensing and collaboration, aims to be a clean and intuitive UI, and will hopefully open up a whole new world of creative work that’s free for designers, artists and small businesses to use as needed."
Anyone who thinks Stocky would be a good fit for one of their favorite blogs is welcome to submit it! That could be a great help for us.We'll talk soon.

Hi. My name's Harrison and I am a graphic design student and painter. I love to look at art from a designer's perspective, and design form an artist's perspective. I am currently foraging my way into the creative industry, and am planning a move to manhattan next may... I need all the luck I can get!
