New Kickstarter- Shell Game

Update #25 · Mar 7, 2012 · comment

While I acknowlege it's absolutely unclassy to go people who have already generously given me money and say "how about some more?", I also thought you might like my new kickstarter.

Yesterday I launched Shell Game, a crowd-funded art show about the financial meltdown, on Kickstarter.  For Shell Game, I'll create 9 giant paintings about the collapses and upheavals of the last year, then rig out storefront like a gambling parlor and display them to the city and the internet for a week.  Shell Game is also an attempt to see if there's a way to fund big, time consuming art without depending on rich collectors- a way of finding Medici in the crowd.

Hope some of you might like it, and thank you so much for your support
