      Hey Joe - A few people have been having problems backing the project because of Amazon - what I suggest is just email me the amount you want to pledge and I will work it out when we go to print. Sorry about that !

      Im on studio@samwinston.com But thanks for getting in touch

      I'm trying to back but the only bank card I have is a Maestro which Amazon.com doesn't seem to accept. Any ideas how I get around this ??

      Cheers.

      I think I saw your project at MOMA a year ago+/-, maybe not? Either way what you're up to is interesting and I hope you reach your goal.
