Received my pledge reward and love the photos/postcards. Happy to support your medium!
Wondering when you're going to get backer information to send out pledge rewards?
Congratulations Joe! I first saw your sand paintings on July3rd in Washington Square Park. It was my 55th birthday and I revisited the park (with my 2 adult sons) for the first time since about 1970. What a wonderful gift to watch you create a beautiful masterpiece. Thanks for helping to make my day even more special. Looking forward to seeing you again!
Hi Joe--
We played your video for our four1/2 year old granddaughter Core Mae Lynch, who loves making art of all kinds -- her Dad's a photographer too and has been working with her in painting and photography and chalk (sidewalk art for that) since she was a little over a year old. She was excited about your HUGE BEAUTIFUL work and wanted to help out. So she's backer #129! And now she also wants to start painting with sand!! Your work is so inspirational. My brother also donated.
AND A BIG CONGRATULATIONS for calling the support to you with your well-conceived reaching out to like-minded people. The video is terrific, and so are your other ones.
Mary Ann Lynch
YEaaaaaaa !!! This is wonderful!!!
Thank you for the beautiful piece that you did at our school last year. The students, faculty and families truly adored as it stayed in place for months. Good luck reaching your goal and email me to discuss the Street Fair piece that we are excited to have you create on Saturday 10/2. I have reached out to the PTA as well so hopefully we can play a part in getting you to your goal!
Thanks You Uma please forward your info to me at Joemangrum@joemangrum.com
How delightful this universe is! Joe--I was able to witness your sand painting in Union Square last year in NYC. Now I find out you are on your way to Grand Rapids (where I live!) for ArtPrize. I wish you nothing but the best of luck. I know you are probably managing a packed schedule but during ArtPrize if you and Deborah are in need of homemade Indian food, let me know. I love cooking for and communing with people!
Your work is beautiful.
I know how this will really help take you to the next level. Good luck Joe! Looking forward to seeing the new work.
