Please message me if you are low-income, a student, and/or don't have a credit card but would still like your name in the photo book credits. The suggested donation for a name credit is $10 but I will be adding everyone's name who pledges any amount or messages me about it. (As I understand that some middle school, high school and even college students don't have credit cards, and I still want you to somehow be part of the book!).

I have one limited edition gallery print of each athlete, at the size of 24" x 36" that is from my art gallery edition that I will make available at this contribution level. If you have a specific image/athlete in mind, please double check with me first to make sure it is available, as only one art print per athlete will be released in this drive (this print is considered to the part of the collectable official art gallery edition - please ask for more information about edition details). As a thank you, I will honor your contribution with a very special name credit in the back of the book as a top level donor to the project. This also includes the above items: signed "Fearless" photobook, signed poster, Nike T-shirt, and small artist print, delivered at their respective release dates.

I received my tee in the mail today (I'm in Germany, so I guess it took a little longer for me).
