Update #3: BOOKS!

Posted on October 28, 2010

Dear Backers -

The GUY MENDES book arrived, somewhat unexpectedly, TODAY! Guy has taken some cases of books back to his studio and is busily signing them. We are going to get them into your hands as soon as we can!

Hope you are as excited as we are!

Phillip

Update #1: Funding 40/40

Posted on August 12, 2010

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to everyone who has contributed to Mendes' book project. The response has exceeded our expectations, to say the least.

We are moving forward with the book and should have them in our hands by November 1. All books, rewards, postcards, etc. will be honored at that time. (We don't actually receive any money from KICKSTARTER until October 4 + bank processing time.)

The true cost of the project including printing, layout, digital scans, exhibition framing is close to 12,350 dollars. We weren't sure to be able to raise that with KICKSTARTER so we set the goal a bit low. Please encourage your friends, family and art savvy acquaintances to get an advanced copy of the book, a postcard or even a photo session with Mendes. Its a great opportunity and will help us borrow less from the bank!

More to come......
