Jordan Stratford, a Kickstart success story had this to say. "people in the future will go hunting, rather than waiting for something to find them. The days of authors collecting "100 rejection letters" is over.”
Platforms like Kickstarter are making original stories like Flewn possible! We may be embarking on something big. I have some big things in the works and I am talking with ambitious and talented folks to help me get there.
Thanks to Paul Babb and Maxon I will be speaking at SIGGRAPH in LA come August!
Lets keep the momentum up. Its time to seek out new blogs, press and communities who might appreciate an old bearded whale walking on stilts. Let me know your ideas.

Gabriel, I never knew how much I wanted a Unicycopter so bad. That is a stroke of sheer genius. Good Luck.
