Update #5: Thanks everybody!
Posted on November 23, 2009
Hey all,
Unless we raise $1,000/hour for the next three hours, this project won't make the funding limits.
Thanks to everyone who offered their support, and were interested in kits. I'll be putting up some more details at the muralizer blog soon, as well as selling kits of the current state. It's going to be a lot more than $200, and the quality isn't what it could be, but they'll be available to everyone who wants one.
This has been a really neat process, and something like 30,000 people have seen the muralizer idea. Hopefully it'll be changing the world gradually soon!

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.
Pledge $255 or more

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.
Pledge $383 or more

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.
Project By
Connected
Full-time hacker, used to work on artificial intelligence stuff, art-impaired, interested in geometric designs, the intersection of art and computers, and wearer of spiffy ties.
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).
the muralizer is great! at the very least i'd like to commission some muralized drawings. kickstarter can be a fickle mistress, ♫don't stop believing♫!
