Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on October 26, 2010.

Look, Up In the Sky!!!

Update #7 · Nov 27, 2010 · comment

Hey folks:

Just a quick message to introduce the artwork that will soon become the striking image on the official KCC/COC EXPO T-shirt.!

The character of CAPTAIN KC was designed (and donated to us) by Akinseye Brown at the beginning of the first KCC event in 2007. He has been interpreted by several artists including Soriah Chauvel, and now ... Shawn Atkinson has added his talents to the gallery. The logo/lettering was done by the more than capable hands of graphic designer Elizabeth Sheehan.

So ... enjoy.

I won't be able to start printing and sending out the t-shirts (to you lucky few) until after we return from Senegal, so please be patient.

Again thanks to Shawn and Liz for their time and talent, and thanks to you all for believing.

Sincerely,
Alex Simmons

It sure does!

Today, a few of our supporters came back online and raised their pledges to help bring us closer to our goal. THANK YOU,THANK YOU, THANK YOU.

Then, as if the Universe said, "Lights, camera, action" ... we received two separate pledges, totaling $1500.00!!!

Yes, I'm doing the happy dance!!!

So now we're only $418 from our goal. So please ... please ... PLEASE ... get friends, family, and people who soak in cottage cheese to pledge and help us make it happen!

And thanks for all you've done.

Sincerely,
Alex Simmons
