I just received my set of posters. It's an amazing and beautiful collection!

Congratulations y'all! Proof that all the posters are still awesome and relevant.
Jeepers! I am so excited to have ALL of those VisualStories y'all make come out into the world at once! Spread the (wordless) word like an ethical virus!
Right on, folks!
I have two Beehive posters (Biodevastation & FTAA) dry-mounted on the walls in my home. Thanks for your amazing work!
Hi, I really love your work, I've been a long time admirer. I'm a curator based in NY. I am also raising funds on kickstarter to try and fund 'traveling show' - basically a mobile art gallery that will travel for a year and will park next door to major art events. If I can raise the funds I think it would be cool to showcase your collection on the road, what do you think? I like the idea of kickstarter projects collaborating with each other, what say you? http://kck.st/f4kmAj
Just so everybody knows, the fabric poster of Plan Columbia is amazing! I got it a few years back and I love it! Everybody who sees it comments on it and it's by far one of the best things hanging on my walls. Even if you can't make the $200 pledge to get it be sure to order it from the collectives site, you will not regret it!
Simply amazing! I love what you guys are doing, please keep up the good work. Its folks like you that give me hope for us squabling humans. :)
Thanks for asking about international shipping! Any international backers can go ahead and pledge at the regular amount, and we'll be in contact to figure out the extra shipping necessary for each pledge... We'd like to handle them each individually so that we can just be asking for the minimum necessary overage, and not try to make an average that would be overcharging some people. And if it's not much of an overage, we'll be happy to include it as regular shipping in your pledge! Thanks for your support!
What about international (germany) shipping? I would love to be a backer and give away a poster to my son's kindergarten...
Please, let's all take care of disasters about to happen due to greed.
Namaste,
Sea Rose
I remember your original set of posters back in 2000 and they blew my mind. This is an opportunity I am happy to be part of.
