Patrick is an artist who really, really likes paper. His artwork is created entirely of cut-paper (and often wood) in Fukuoka, Japan, where he lives with his amazing wife and a very, very large collection of paper from all over the world.
Glad you like it! People seem to be receiving them the last day or so - a win for the Post office.
I've got a bunch more here if anyone wants more. http://www.pgannon.com/pgannon_shopCalendars.htm
Drop me a line if you want to order more than one, I can save you some on the shipping.
Got my package today, Patrick! Looks brilliant.
Hayley- I'll definitely be looking into it. Since I've recently moved, I'm still re-situating myself in Fukuoka.
Giclee prints are a great idea, I think you should go for that next!
Hi, could you contact me at absolut247@gmail.com, I did not realize that I had pledged my $30 under the $10 tier, but I was charged $30. Instead of the reward for the $10 tier, can I receive the full calendar instead, like the $30 tier. if not, can I get a refund of $20, which is the difference. I am not sure how I screwed up the pledging, but I did. Thank you for understanding.
Thanks Chris! I'm thrilled it all came together, tho admittedly I have no fingernails left. I've got a few prints left (you probably saw on my website). If I get enough more pre-orders, I might even be able to get a new printer to replace the one that just died. Then I can make new prints (Yay!).
cheers!
Congratulations, Patrick!
I stumbled onto this project by just browsing on the Kickstarter site, but I'm very glad I did! Your art is amazing and beautiful, and I am very happy that the calendar will be produced.
I'm trying to scrape together more funds so that I can order some prints as well! :D
Thanks Tim, Daryl, and Barbara! You guys are awesome!
Woowoooo! We made it. It was touch-and-go there for a bit, but we are happily over the goal and there will be a calendar!
Unless there's a huge flood of backers in the next 24 hours, it looks like we'll be doing a print run of 100. There're plenty of unclaimed calendars, so keep those pre-orders coming in!
Thank you, everyone!
Patrick....are you there? Or are you drunk from all the celebrating :D
Congratulations, Patrick!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.....you made it!!!!!!
Keep funding Patrick's work even though his goal has been met!! Ninja cut paper art life isn't easy. There's paper cuts (the first cut is the deepest), and running with scissors, and goofy hats, and competitions, and deadlines, and earthquakes, and wood, textures, tools.
Thanks Daryl! I've got my fingers crossed that it all comes together in the next 48 hours. Tell all your art-loving friends about it, and maybe we can squeak on by!
Hi Patrick. I've just stumbled on your project and your art looks really gorgeous. Duly pledged. It looks like a really close finish, but I hope it'll all come together at the end!
True, true, that would work. Then again, I have to print at least a hundred of these beasts, and it would be a crying shame to have a bunch left over. I'm really crossing my fingers for more pre-sales of the calendars, so please share with your friends!
Man, if every current pledger could increase their pledge ~$10, we'd be there.
I really want this beautiful calendar.
Right? Its gonna be a real nail-biter.
So closeeeee.......
Great idea!
Thanks Geoff! Y'know, I actually wanted to offer some open edition giclee prints as rewards, but my printer gave up its binary ghost a couple days ago. There are still a couple left around the house, but that's all I've got until I'm able to replace the mechanical beast. Maybe my next project on kickstarter will be a couple limited edition prints, hm...
Best of luck with funding! Your work is striking and I want to get a hold of a print one way or another.
