Kickstarter

While I personally like intricate, abstract art, I realize that not everyone wants to stare at that kind of thing hanging above their couch every day for years on end. So I have developed a style which incorporates beautiful scenes, such as many by Monet, for example. I retain the overall composition and color and add my own abstract, crystalline texture. The result looks like Monet from across the room, but up close you can see an intricate geometric texture. It is overall pleasing but with a modern twist. Cream on the taco, as my wife says. I call it Facetation. 

The Facetation method doesn't work on all pieces and has to be adjusted for those pieces that it does work with. The impressionists are good candidates for this method because they painted very fast. They were interested in capturing the overall, well, impression and the brush strokes were not their main concern. I replace their brush strokes with my perfect triangles. Their impression is retained. 

The above, Van Gogh's Bedroom in Arles, represents the realistic end of a spectrum. When the Facitation is cranked up and possibly combined with other images, the result is abstract rather than realistic. The net result is that I produce a range of images from realistic to abstract. 

Putting on a show requires rendering more than a dozen pieces, some large. This costs money and the return is uncertain and delayed, at best. Kickstarter provides a mechanism for people to pledge money beforehand and so that I produce just the pieces needed as Rewards. I do not have to increase the price to allow for the uncertainty and delay. Those who pledge will receive show quality Rewards at the best possible price.
