The show was a huge success, thanks to ALL OF YOU!!!
I'm still reeling from the amazing weekend. Last week was one of the most intense, physically demanding, stressful weeks I've ever had as I prepared for the opening of my debut LA solo show. I was going to bed at 3 to 4 am every night, and then BAM, Saturday night rolled around. At 6:50 pm, 10 minutes before the doors opened, still in my dirty work clothes, I had a paintbrush in hand still making finishing touches to the installation. The Hold Up Art staff was extremely helpful in making sure that the entire setup and opening event itself went smoothly.
The show had such a great turnout--a mixture of friends, family, fans, art lovers in general, and yes, Kickstarter backers. :) We even had a dance party at the end of the night, what more could a girl want?!
With the extra money I raised, I bought art stickers and postcards, and made silkscreened prints to give away to the first 100 people that arrived. I also made silkscreened t-shirts and limited edition giclees to sell at the gallery as well. I gave away psychedelic holographic glasses to view my three dimensional installations with, to ensure that everyone had an awesome trip-out experience. ;) All of you backers will be getting those stickers and postcards on top of the backer awards that you're already expecting. I'll be sending the holographic glasses to my backers that pledged over $50.
I'll be spending December and January fulfilling the Kickstarter rewards, so you should expect your rewards sometime before the end of January.
In the meantime, enjoy these photos taken by my friend Gabriel Perez. I'll be uploading a more official photo album in the next couple of days. Again thanks so much to all of you, I honestly mean it when I say without you this show would not have been such a huge success!
