Update #2: Last Day!
Hello all!
In these last few hours of my project, I want to thank you all for everything you have done to help me. From big pledges to small pledges to simple words of encouragement, I am incredibly grateful.
Also, to everyone who worked hard to assist me in getting the word out to others: Thank you. You have been an enormous help. In case you missed it: You got The Huffington Post's attention! They wrote a very sweet article on the project yesterday, which you can read at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/01/20/the-accidental-artist-jim-conniff-kickstarter_n_1218625.html?ref=arts.
Again, thank you all. Only 21 hours to go--keep it up!
Clare
P.S. There's a new post up at http://theaccidentalartist.tumblr.com/ too!
Update #1: Blog Posts!
Hey everybody!
There are lots of new posts up at my blog, theaccidentalartist.tumblr.com, all the time, so don't forget to check it out! They'll tell you much more about Jim, his past, and his art, and you'll get to see everything that your pledges are helping me do.
Also, if you haven't already, please pass along a link to the Kickstarter page to your friends/family/coworkers! There are only 12 days left to make our goal, and the key to getting there is to get the word out. With your help, I'm confident that we can get there!!
Thank you again, so much, for everything. Get at me with any questions, comments, or concerns!!
