Kickstarter

My name is Creed-Gee. I'm an artist, a Muslim woman, a writer & a student. I'm seeking funding to successfully launch my art work to the public via Etsy & my website, www.creedgee.com

(GO AHEAD,TAKE A LOOK).

 I make one of a kind art with an Islamic perspective on life, that's fused with highly relatable subject matter that we can all appreciate or laugh at. All of my art will have a postage stamp theme. I've incorporated the edges of a postage stamp into each design, tied to the fact that I dream of one day having my artwork featured on a postage stamp by the United States Postal Service.

But in the meantime, here's where I stand:

  I've already designed my website & posted my artwork up at www.creedgee.com. Unfortunately, due to the lack of funds as a returning college student, my art work hasn't seen the light of day. So currently,my website is like a beautiful city with no inhabitants. But with your generous support this can change.  With the funding of $1,200 I'll be able to successfully launch my artwork in the form of art prints & greeting cards. I just need the following supplies to make it happen:

•  a Canon PIXMA Pro9000 Mark II Photo Printer $499.99 (to professionally print my art prints & greeting cards)
•  additional Canon CLI-8 Black and Color Ink Cartridges, 4/Pack $56.99
•  archival paper & cardstock ($40.00-$80.00)
• protective art print sleeves (1 pack of 100 for $21.00)
•  backing boards (for safely mailing my art to buyers) / 4 packs of 25 for $18.50
• business cards(for self promotion of my art)
• website renewal fees $188.00 /yr (including the fees to set up my website store for online purchases)
• Etsy .20 cent per listing & 3.5% selling fees(to sell from my Etsy shop,ARTbyCreedGee)
• Kickstarter 5% fee & Amazon 3-5% credit card processing fee
•  BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY: SHIPPING COSTS FOR THE ARTWORK SENT TO MY BACKERS.

Thanks for reading this.

Sincerely,

Creed-Gee BintFelix
