      Hi,
      I completed my survey, but it didn't ask what letter I wanted with the figure. Letter D please for my son, Damien. Thanks!

    Are you a creator who wants to learn some of my tips for your Kickstarter campaign? If you pledge at this level or above, I'll send you a little pdf booklet I wrote up with the best advice I can give about being a self-employed artist from my two decades of experience in the trenches. A special section focuses on Kickstarter tips on how I integrate grass-roots marketing techniques and how you can take an active role while your campaign is live to increase excitement for your own project.
