Update #3: busy busy!

Posted on August 12, 2010

Hey every buddy! Can you feel my gigantic cyber-hug? This little Kickstarter (which started as a small embarrassed cry for help into the deep dark canyon that is the Internet) has run it's course, gaining momentum that I never dreamed was possible. I'm leaving for Germany on September 8th because of your overwhelming support!

I've been busy silk screening t-shirts (I'm wearing one today, as you can see in the photo. I just wanted to test drive it!), recording songs, cutting fabric, and organizing buttons. Within the next two weeks, all of your packages will begin making their way towards you!

If you haven't already, please please don't forget to give me your address and t-shirt size, if applicable. You can email this info to me here: katie.charmstrong@gmail.com

Okay, I love you all so much! Bye bye!

Update #2: You did it!

Posted on July 17, 2010

Old friends and new friends, you've done it! Look how happy Charlie is, because of you!
I will be sending out messages via Kickstarter momentarily, asking for addresses, t-shirt sizes, song titles, etc. Please make sure to reply so that I can get cracking on sending out your gifts!

Thank you all so, so, so, so much. There aren't enough "so's" in the world to properly convey my gratitude.

xoxoxoxo,
Katie

Update #1: Photos!

Holy guacamole!

I can't believe it...almost half of the goal has already been reached! You guys are so, so wonderful. I can't thank you enough. I've got to tell you, when I was filming the video, I had serious doubts about this whole thing. Talking alone into a camera makes you feel kind of like the worlds loneliest goon!

I've created a Flickr album with some photos of the goods, so you angels can take a peek at what will be soaring to you in the mail in a matter of weeks! http://www.flickr.com/photos/katiearms/sets/72157624306987389/with/4766033295/

Again, thank you guys so much for your support. My cheeks are sore from smiling!

xoxoxoxo,
Katie

Funding Successful

This project successfully raised its funding goal on August 10, 2010.

Pledge $5 or more

3 Backers

Hooray! You either think I'm neat, or you feel a little sorry for my bad hair and nervous chuckle. Either way, I love you, and will express that adoration with a little Xeroxed book titled, 'Sheep in Wolves Clothing'. Each book has been folded by yours truly, and contains a short essay paired with a series of drawings. They also fold out into a small but mighty poster!

Pledge $15 or more

5 Backers

I hope you've got your jean jacket ready, my bad-ass friend, because soaring to you in the mail (in addition to the above mentioned book) are two 1" buttons from my 'I like you more than...' series, including "I like you more than Christmas," "I like you more than freckles," "I like you more than kittens," or "I like you more than pie."

Pledge $25 or more

31 Backers

It's t-shirt time, baby! Not only do you get all of the previously mentioned items (book, buttons, everlasting love), but in addition, you've got one more excuse to show off your guns! Each t-shirt features a Katie A. design and has been silk-screened, kissed, and folded by me. I'll even sing to yours, if that sweetens the deal. (Note: You will be prompted for a size through Kickstarter by August 10th, don't fret!)

Pledge $50 or more

3 Backers

I could kiss you! But instead, I'm going to send you everything previously listed (book, pins, t-shirt) as well as a limited edition DVD containing animations made from 2009-2010. The DVD comes snuggled inside a vintage fabric sleeve sewn lovingly by me.

Pledge $100 or more

6 Backers

On top of receiving all of the above mentioned items, I will learn, sing and record my own shaky cover of any song that you choose! And I'll try really hard to make it sound nice! The song will be emailed to you as a file and will also be sent on CD in the care package you'll be receiving. Did I mention that I love you a whole lot?

Pledge $500 or more

1 Backer

Jackpot! You're the new Executive Producer of my animation, and will be listed as such on the final product. Furthermore, you will be receiving everything listed above, as well as a batch of chocolate chip cookies baked from scratch. You'll also be sent a special copy of the animation before anyone else!
