Update #7: Catalog is Printed!
I will have catalogs on hand for those coming to the Tether opening tomorrow. Otherwise please bear with me—once I get past the exhibit opening I will start mailing out books, probably as soon as next week!
There's been a lot of great press on the exhibit already:

Update #4: New Reward Added ~ THUNDERBITCH Poster by Clara Sims
Plucky Clara Sims, to express her love of THUNDERBITCH, took it upon herself to create a poster for the show! The resulting debutante poodle silkscreen captures something I can't quite put my finger on. But you can, along with a catalog, for a pledge of $40 or more. The poster is two-color, 12.5 x 19", and signed by Clara. 11 are available here from an edition of 50. This is the last treat I think we'll offer up before the fundraiser ends. See more of Clara's work here: http://www.iamnotcarla.com/
Update #3: SupPop CDs & Poster Catalogs
Thanks everyone for the support so far! Here are some photos of product available at levels above $20, including CDs from exhibit supporter SubPop and catalogs from my past shows, The Seattle-Havana, Seattle-Tehran and Seattle-Moscow Poster Shows. More info about these exhibits are on-line at seattlehavana.com, seattletehran.com, & yes, seattlemoscow.com.

Update #2: New Reward Added ~ Chelsea Conboy Posters
Chelsea Conboy can't stop supporting Thunderbitch! She's donated two copies of her recent silkscreen poster for Imogen Heap. Pledge at $45 or more and receive a copy of her signed poster, plus an exhibit catalog. Poster is 18 x 24", 2 color screen printed on colored stock.
Chelsea designed the 2010 marketing materials for Bumbershoot. See more of her work here:

Update #1: pledge level added
Thanks to everyone who has pledged support to the catalog already! I just added a $25 level that includes a single by Rachel Carns for her band The Need, but there's only 2 available (cover image posted here).
I also noticed that my wording for the $30 level isn't clear—it includes both the catalog & a SubPop CD for that price.
Please spread the word to your friends...!

I am a Seattle-based graphic designer and curator of design exhibits that are a good excuse to talk politics and culture. A love of posters, travel, good stories and progressive values led me to organize a trio of exhibits for Bumbershoot, Seattle's largest arts and culture festival. For the series I traveled to and collaborated with designers in countries often at odds politically with the US: The Seattle-Havana Poster Show www.seattlehavana.com, The Seattle-Tehran Poster Show www.seattletehran.com and The Seattle-Moscow Poster Show www.seattlemoscow.com. My current exhibit, Thunderbitch: Women Designers in Northwest Rock 1966-2010, reflects the same fascinations, but keeps the travel to a minimum.
