Update #5: To my backers

Posted on July 14, 2010

Hi Everyone,

By now almost all of you should have received your rewards, hope you're enjoying. Please let me know if you haven't received anything and please send your address if you haven't yet. Thanks so much for helping to fund my project, it's definitely been a good boost to my career. Since launching the Kickstarter campaign I've received a lot of attention online which has resulted in getting shows, magazine write-ups and best of all the sale of my Camper Kart. I entered it into the West Prize, and I became one of ten winners of the prize. The Kart is now part of the West Collection based in Pennsylvania.

Thank you all so much.
Kevin

Update #4: REWARDS

Posted on December 1, 2009

Hi Everyone,

Wow, it's December 1st—time flies. November has been a busy month of painting and lots of time in the studio. I just sent 7 pieces to Aqua Art Fair in Miami.

I'm working on the woven patch and silkscreens and hoping to get those out in a couple of weeks. There's still more to finish on the Camper Kart, so the photographic prints will come a bit later. Please send me your mailing addresses and feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks so much,
Kevin

Posted on October 30, 2009

Update #1: DAY 21

Posted on October 7, 2009

Hi everyone:

I am really thrilled at the great response the CAMPER KART Project has received. Thank you so much to everyone who has pledged! And thanks to those who have re-posted the project elsewhere.

I have made quite a bit of progress on the KART and wanted to share some photos. The majority of the outside is done and now I'm working on the interior. I still have to figure out the lift mechanism, but I have a couple of promising prototypes.

      After you're done with this version you'll have to make a 4x4 version so it'll be easier to get into the woods with it. Looking forward to seeing the finished Camper Kart.
