Funding Unsuccessful

This project reached the deadline without achieving its funding goal on March 12, 2010.

Pledge $25 or more

8 Backers

DVD copy of LOVETOWN PA documentary by Johnny Gerhart and Philip Armand. Their film Manhattan Measure was selected by eight film festivals and well received around the country. I know you're not going to be disappointed with this entry-level reward. Pick one up for a friend while you're at it.

Pledge $50 or more

13 Backers

Set of four mini-letters: L-O-V-E. These are smaller versions (4" X 4") of the letters used in the project. They look great on a shelf or a desk. Stack them Robert Indiana style if you like. You will be the envy of all your friends. Then you can remind them that love does not envy and make them feel even worse.

Pledge $75 or more

13 Backers

Set of four mini-letters (4" X 4"): L-O-V-E, and DVD. Let's call this the mini-love combo.

Pledge $125 or more

3 Backers

Signed photograph from the project by Alicia Hansen. This will be an image available only to Kickstarter supporters. If you know Alicia's work, you know you're not going to go wrong with this reward. If you don't know her work, visit aliciahansen.com and check out her portfolio.

Pledge $200 or more

8 Backers

Set of four letters: L-O-V-E. These are the full-size version (12" X 12" each), made from reclaimed scrap wood. The Beatles said it's all you need. I think those guys were onto something.

Pledge $1,000 or more

0 Backers

Collage of entire text, made from 1" X 1" squares of paper with the letters punched out. Very colorful. About 4' X 3'. I am working on one and will post an image on lovetownpa.com when it is finished.

Pledge $6,000 or more

0 Backers

Entire text in the 4" blocks. That's 1267 blocks. Line them up around the house, stack them on the floor, hang them on the wall. It's 140 square feet of art, my friend. Sweet!

Pledge $10,000 or more

0 Backers • Limited Reward (1 of 1 remaining)

I have added a very special reward for one very special backer. The entire set of letters. Yes, the actual letters used in the project, can be yours for only $10,000 (delivery and installation not included). So if you happen to have a wall about 12 feet high and 106 feet long and you are looking for just the right piece of art to put on it, look no further. Not only would you be funding a huge chunk of this project, but you would also be solving a post-project storage problem for me. This is truly one-of-a-kind, and so are you if you choose this reward.

My father was a preacher and a carpenter. He put thoughts of God in my head and tools in my hand. I'm mainly a sculptor but I do other things too. I recently measured Manhattan with yardsticks. It's pretty big.
