The Story

Hello Kickstarter! My name is Jared and I'd like your support to help produce a poster series of high-quality prints called The Billion Dollar Hippie in honor of Steve Jobs.

I have always been passionate about Apple products and Steve Jobs' philosophies. He was one of the world's most influential innovators, and changed the world forever. As my icon and my inspiration I thoroughly enjoyed designing these posters as a tribute to his life. 

I tried to reflect Steve's philosophies of simplicity, creativity, and intuition in these posters (like I said I tried). I wanted to create posters that mirrored his beliefs and that will provide a daily glance of inspiration to his fans. 

Each design will be hand silkscreen printed on heavy cover stock, 18 x 24", French Paper. They cost $20 each, shipped to your door in the US, or $30 anywhere else in the world.

If successful, I would like to create more graphic design projects of other iconic figures like Albert Einstein and Muhammad Ali (possibly).
