Update #11: Crusade shirts are in, and send your stickers!
The Crusade tshirts and tanks are in, and they are awesome! Many of you chose this as your backer reward, but if you didn't and are jealous of how cool those backers are going to look sporting their Crusade-wear, feel free to get in on the action. Ts and tanks are $25. Email me your order - info@thetenphoto.com. Tanks come in XS and S. Tshirts are unisex and come in S-XXL.
And it's time to send in your stickers for the bus! The bus is still getting spiffed up at the mechanic's, but it's definitely sticker-ready. And if you are in Atlanta, be sure to put Saturday, April 14 (11am-3pm) on your calendar for the Bus Bash at WonderRoot's community garden. It's our first pop-up show, with art, music, a foodtruck and booze. Sounds perfect, right?
Mail your sticker to Jennifer Schwartz Gallery, 1000 Marietta Street, suite 112, Atlanta 30318. I can't wait to see what you've got!
Update #10: New video - The License Plate Store
Check out the Crusade blog to watch a short little video of my adventure at the DMV to register the bus (Lady Blue!). You'll never guess what personalized plate I got. . .

Update #9: I bought a bus!!
And not just any bus, and beautiful blue crusademobile. It's amazing. Well, it looks amazing. It lives in New Jersey and will be delivered to Atlanta in a few weeks. Lady Blue will go straight to my mechanic's garage for some shoring up and tweaking, and then we will work on converting it from a surf ride to an art bus.
This is so exciting. Thank you so much for your support and for allowing this most incredible first step to happen. Crusade away!!

Wow, that's a classic! Being from NJ myself, be sure you check it for rust on the bottom, as we use lots of salt on the roads up here. Good luck, she looks like a beauty!

Update #8: Success!

Crusade away!!

Project By
Connected as Jennifer Schwartz (1697 friends)
I am a lot of things. I am a mother, a photographer, a business woman and a good friend. I love hard, I care deeply, and I speak my mind. Two years ago I opened a photography gallery as a way to support artists, promote photography and engage people in art.
