Progress on stereocards!
Hi All,
I want to share with you the latest about The Gilded Garden project. First, I have some good news, my Stereocollision work will be featured as the cover story in the next Stereoscopy magazine! You can imagine this is a fun development for me - look for the alligators on the cover when it comes out! http://www.stereoscopy.com/isu/
My new assistant and I have been assembling card sets. I have to say it's really exciting and gratifying to see them steadily come together! The final component of completed sets is the printing on the box, however, I expect to start shipping individual cards at the end of the week.
Unfortunately I'm a little behind on stickers and T-shirts. While I'm excited about my designs, the printing production of these items is still in the works. I've learned a bunch from my screen printer, Earl at Table Salt Screen Printing, and look forward to revealing a very nice shirt soon! (By the way he just got on Facebook so you can see his nice work there.)
I've had quite a bit of interest in the project since the Kickstarter campaign ended. Every sale still helps finish production, so for this reason I've extended the campaign discounts. If you know someone who would enjoy this work but missed the campaign, they can still message me through Kickstarter or my website. I'll be making a few extra shirts just in case, and of course will have plenty of stereocards! http://ethanturpin.com
Once again, I want to thank you for your support for The Gilded Garden project.
Kind Regards,
Ethan
Thank you all!
This has been an amazing experience. I look forward to putting art in your hands, or hopefully at some point soon, a hand shake.
You have my deep gratitude!
Happy Solstice,
Ethan
17 HOURS - Please share!
Hello New and Old Friends,
We are nearing the end of the campaign for "The Gilded Garden", with only 17 hours to go! I appreciate your help so much in surpassing the funding goal, and even more for believing in the project. People are still pledging support and pre-ordering the stereocards, which helps the project that much more.
Now that we've reached the minimum funding goal, each pledge added or increased allows me to speed up production, spread the work further in the world, and focus deeper on new pieces. Please continue to share this with others, and if you are able and interested, please also consider greater rewards.
UPDATE: After selling out of the original 15, I've added 10 more 'choose-your-own-cards' in Reward #5. This allows backers who had chosen #4, the 'I-choose-your-card', to upgrade and pick your favorite.
Thank you again for making this happen. Together we are reviving the fine craft of the stereograph industry for the purpose of making art!
Sincerely Yours,
Ethan
Double Thanks From Stereocollision!
Friends,
I've experienced an outpouring of support for "The Gilded Garden" and it stirs me to know that this work connects. After five years of developing Stereocollision projects, it's gratifying to reach so many people and deliver art to them. Thank you!
There are still a few more days in the campaign. Please help me to exceed our goal by making contact with more people who will enjoy this experience too. Everything raised will benefit this work.
I'll be posting more images of the reward items and look forward to putting them in your hands!
Sincerely Yours,
Ethan Turpin
