Just checking in...

Update #4 · Jun 17, 2012 · 2 comments

Just wanted to check in with everybody. We are still on the road and going strong! Check out our blog to see updates and photos- http://www.tumblr.com/blog/paintedamerica 

Since they can only be sent out once, backer surveys will be sent out at the close of our trip when we have all the gifts ready to ship. 

This will be around the first week of August. We apologize for shifting the expected dates of receiving gifts by a few weeks, but the trip experienced a hiatus when I (Micaela) had to unexpectedly return to Florida in mid-May because my brother got into a serious motorcycle accident and passed away. 

Thank you again for all your support that made this trip possible.

    What’s a road trip without some Karaoke? With a gift of $250, both of us will sing a song, chosen by you, in a Karaoke bar along the way. We will dedicate the song to you and post it up on our blog if you’d like, or just burn it to a disc and send it to you. Donors like you deserve a shout out for your generous support!!

    For such a memorable trip, there’s nothing more lasting than art on skin! For a donation of $500 one of us will get a TATTOO that is inspired by a state we visit along the way. YOU get to choose which state that may be from our list of states we plan to travel through. You’ll receive a digital image of the skin art and leave a lasting mark on our lives forever!

    For $750, think of yourself as a passenger on the trip! Not only will you receive everything mentioned in the $100 level, but we want you to have a custom piece! On an 8”x10” canvas you can have a portrait of you, your dog, or a piece inspired by one of the states listed. It is entirely up to you! The piece will be a signed original that you wont find anywhere else, a way of us yelling THANK YOU from across the country.
