Off to CTN...

Update #32 · Nov 11, 2012 · 3 comments

Hi Everyone,

Well, tomorrow I fly to LA to promote the App at CTN. I know all the artists and students there will be very interested in the work we created, and by "we" that includes you!

When I return I will get on finishing up the desktop and Android versions. But most importantly I will get to the task of fulfilling the remaining gifts to you amazing supporters. Also there were some postal problems with the posters, so I will resend out posters to those who did not receive them yet.

Thank you again for all your support in creating this amazing new learning tool.

CTN

Update #31 · Oct 25, 2012 · 2 comments

Hi Folks,

I'm sorry for the long delay in updates. Well, that pesky computer machine is playing rough :) It is a little more time consuming than imagined to get the Mac version up and running. I want to have the same interactive experience on the desktop that we do with the iPad and iPhone. My programmer is working on some pesky interface bugs that are causing the delay. My hope was to have it live for CTN this year, but it looks like  I wont make that dead line. SO I may put out a more standard desktop interface version first. All this is delaying the Android version, but I am still pushing to get them both out by the end of the year.

On a better note, I want you all to know that everyone who has purchased the app loves it (well there was one guy who didn't but  there is always one, right?). You helped create a really good tool for artists. But I still have more work to do, I will press on!

thanks again

Mac Desktop almost finished, then on to Android!

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. We are working hard to get the Mac desktop version out by CTN animation Expo (where I will have a booth). Then on to Android right after. This always seems to take much longer than expected but we are pushing onward! Stay tuned and visit me at CTN if you are in LA.

    I think we should take this relationship to the next level. Of course you'll be acknowledged in the thank you section, of course you'll have a version of the app and an unframed, signed art print of the Ecorché. FURTHERMORE, your generous support will receive a one-hour, personal design/sculpting consultation with me, Michael Defeo, in proximity to NYC or via web.

    This is getting serious, and I deeply appreciate your enthusiasm and generosity. You have a choice of one of the following for your gift: (1) A series of four 15-minute personalized video critiques and consultation for your work. With me. (2) One design consultation with me for an existing project; or (3) a signed, 4" maquette bust of one of my personal pieces from my Paris Sketch series. Whichever of these three gifts you choose, you will also receive a signed, unframed art print of the Ecorché, a copy of the app and acknowledgement in the thank you section. And my sincerest good thoughts.
