We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 4, 2011.

The Kickstarter portion of Moments of Insight is Complete! Thank you for your support!

Update #21 · Jun 16, 2012 · comment

To all my backers,

The work I set out to accomplish through the Moments of Insight project is complete, documented, and published, Kickstarter rewards have been distributed.

 

Next, I’ll continue to make art and sell it, look for a larger audience through my website and gallery representation in the United States and Europe.

 

Thank you again for backing Moments of Insight.  It has helped me set some sails and chart a course.  Now I’m off.  First with Sketchy Art and Culture Tours to Bordeaux this summer to paint, then who knows?  Time will tell.

I hope we stay in touch.  Subscribe to www.chaucersilverson.com, travel with www.sketchytours.com, email, call, or visit.  You know where to find me.  Have a great summer.

 

Sincerely,

 

Chaucer

Happy New Year! 2012 is already looking good!

Update #18 · Jan 15, 2012 · comment

Happy New Years to all my Kickstarter backers! Things are developing rapidly for me after the campaign completed.  My website will change soon and I’ve had a number of opportunities open up which I would like to keep you informed of as time goes by.  It looks like 2012 is going to be a very good year.

 

I have about 4 large canvases to complete and photograph before I layout the catalog.  Once it’s published and I send out the remaining rewards, and the Kickstarter project is complete, I’d like to migrate everyone who is interested to my website and subscribe to my newsletter.  This is how you will be able to track the results of your support and my ongoing career.  With any luck your rewards will increase in value rapidly!

 

In the midst of the activity in my studio I have also formed a new business you might be interested in called Sketchy Art and Culture Tours.  It’s an art and travel company operated by me, Beth and our friend Marianne Filloux.  Our first project offers tours in France in the summer of 2012.  You can learn more at the website www.sketchytours.com.  I hope you can join us.

 

From what I’ve learned about the art market people are still buying art.  The highest end art never slowed down.  The middle art markets are simply looking for great deals.   So I got that going for me, which is nice.

 

Thanks again, I’ll be in touch again soon.

I've been busy painting thanks to you.

I'll be contacting many backers soon and start sending out rewards next week.  You can check out some of the new Moments of Insight paintings included in an application I made to ART TAKES MIAMI.  This is a part of the SCOPE art show which takes place concurrently with the Art Basel/ Miami show this December.  These are some of the shows the galleries I'm looking at attend. 

Click on this link to see my portfolio there.  http://artchaucer.see.me/atm2011/slideshow

If you click on the "Vote for Me" link it might make a difference.  Thanks for checking it out. I haven't posted some of this work on my website yet so this is the first chance for you to check it out.  Who knows, maybe I'll be in Miami in a few weeks - or in the future.
