• What do I get out of it?

  I hope that the idea of supporting my botanical art and handmade printmaking appeals to you.

  I am also offering some tangible tokens of my appreciation for your support. These start at as little as $5.00.

  For example, a $100 pledge gets you a phone session with me that you could use for Photoshop tutoring (or other subject of your choice). There are a limited number of $500 pledges that get you a numbered copy of Botanique (see the question below for more information about the availability and pricing of Botanique).

  You'll see a complete list of the rewards I am offering along the right side of my project page above.

• How will the book be priced after the Kickstarter project?

  We haven't fully worked out the pricing of Botanique following the conclusion of the Kickstarter project---but you can be assured that we will never sell it for less than the pledge prices you'll see on Kickstarter. As is customary in the art world, we intend to price earlier numbered copies lower than the later copies in the edition. Since the edition is strictly limited (to 25 numbered copies plus 5 artist copies) it is likely that the value will go up over time.

  At this point, two copies have already been committed in exchange for a $500 pledge. There are 8 more copies available at the $500 pledge level, 5 copies at the $1,200 level, and 5 copies at the $1,750 level.

• When is the project over?
  The Harold Davis botanical art book Kickstarter project is over on Monday August 27, 2012 at 2:55PM EDT. If the funding goal ($3,000) has not been reached at that point, no money changes hands. If the funding goal has been met, then your credit card will be charged the amount you have pledged.

• If I've sponsored you and am expecting a reward, how do I get my reward? Don't you need my address?
  Provided the project is funded, address information for each sponsor is provided to us, and we will ship your reward to you (with my heartfelt thanks!).

• What happens if your project raises more than the funding goal of $3,000?
  It's all good because there's no limit to the amount a Kickstarter project can raise. Some Kickstarter projects do raise more than their initial goal, and I'm hoping that my project will be one of these success stories (we're only a few days into the project and off to a good start already!).

• What about shipping rewards overseas?
  The pledge amounts for our tangible awards are based on shipping within the continental United States. If you would like a reward shipped outside the continental United States please contact us for the additional shipping amount, and then add the additional shipping charge when you make your pledge.

• Where can I learn more about how Kickstarter works?
  You can "dip your toe" into the Kickstarter universe by pledging a small amount to my project (or to someone else's project). Here's a short summary of how Kickstarter works, and a link to the Kickstarter FAQ.
