Today was a big day for Muralizer! There's been a bunch of emails and twitters, all from a mention on the Make blog: Make: Online: Muralizer prints art on the wall, which begat a Gizmodo story: Gizmodo: The Muralizer draws art on your wall automatically. And, somehow, we wound up on Spike TV's website: Muralizer video on Spike.com. Personally, I'm just thrilled that my little video is high-quality enough to warrant major advertising slapped in front of it, and maybe getting to meet my UFC heroes someday!
It's pretty awesome to see tons of people get excited about something, and especially great to see a google search for "muralizer" change radically. Until this morning, the results were mostly me talking about the project. Now, it's full of other people talking about the project, which is kind of awesome.
Thanks to everyone who's been talking about Muralizer, and an extra-special thanks to our new supporters!
This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal on November 24, 2009.
For any pledge $2^1-1 ($1) or more (ie: any pledge), your name will go on the list of "People who made this possible" at muralizer.com.
For $2^4-1 ($15), you can get a muralizer "sketch" via snail mail! This is one of the test images, probably with glitches. If you're lucky, it'll have doodles about physics around the errant lines.
For $2^6-1 ($63), you can get your very own vector graphics file printed out on 2'x3' paper, then mailed to you. It might not be totally perfect, but I'll do my best to make it work out.
For $2^8-1, you'll get one of the first beta muralizer proto-kits. These might not be the final kits, but they'll be close. They also come with beta firmware: you'll be an integral part of making muralizer awesome, and get early access to the platform for your art.
For $2^8+2^7-1 ($383), you can pre-order the final kit, and be among the first to get your grubby paws on a printer that goes to 11 (feet).
For $2^9-1, I will personally assemble a muralizer and send you the finished product early. It's like the beta program and the finished product thing, all wrapped up in one package. One fully-tested, known-good, line-drawing package.
For $2^10-1, you put me under the needle. I'll have an artist permanently ink an entry from the geometric art series that inspired muralizer on my forearm. It's a nine-gon, listen to the podcasts for details, which would be a great way to cap off this project. If someone kicks in this money, I'll get that tattoo, and send the video of it happening (and me saying thanks) to the sponsor.

I quit that day job thing to develop community projects. As part of that, I'd love it if we could all work together to make the world a more beautiful and better informed (ie: awesomer) place.
I started sketching and programming in high school, and haven't ever really stopped either one. That said, I got pretty good at programming; my sketching... not so much. I still love doing it, though, and I like working on projects that allow me to express my artistic impulses with the precision and malleability of computers.
When I'm not working on computers or drawing, you'll find me tinkering with radios (I'm a ham: KJ6ANM), reading math textbooks (currently: statistical methods), and borrowing other people's cats (we all need to be disdainfully ignored sometimes).
