Update #2: We did it! A big thank you - and book examples

Posted on May 19, 2011

A BIG thank you to everyone who made a pledge to our Drawing Day project on Kickstarter

It's not only exciting that our book will go ahead, but very exciting that we have raise awareness about Drawing Day and have more power to spread the word about our event.

We reached our goal and still have a week left to raise more funds. More funds means more promotional power to spread the word about our event, so please share this project with your creative friends.

Those of you still considering a pledge or those who already made a pledge, we have put together an example of what to expect from the book. This is just an example and the design may vary, but this will give you some visual reference of the book.

A sample of the book

  • On the left is an example of an artist profile page (see pledges for details of this)
  • On the right is an example of what drawings will look like in the gallery

Did you know you can upgrade your pledge?

If you have already made a pledge, did you know you can upgrade your pledge to a higher pledge any time? Made a small pledge and now want to copy of the book, or a T-shirt, or an artist profile in the book - to do this, follow these steps:

  • Make sure you are logged in to Kickstarter
  • Simply click the MANAGE YOUR PLEDGE button on the right of our project page
  • From here you can select a different pledge and it will instantly update your pledge

We still need more funds to help Drawing Day be the biggest success that it can.

All pledgers will be contacted once our project is complete with details about the gifts associated with their pledge.

Happy Drawing Day - it's almost here!

Drawing Day is a volunteer project started by Mick Gow. With a bunch of his artistic and enthusiastic friends, he keeps http://www.drawingday.org running. This small team of individuals devote their energy and spare time leading up to the event into keeping the buzz alive on the web and reaching out to as many art communities as they can. While your pledge can help fund our book and our event, our commitment is to put all funds raised back into promoting the event.
