Update #12: the 128 BIT reward
Posted on February 23, 2010
so, lots of people have been telling me that i'm charging way too little for this project.
they're right.
but this project is not so much about the money as it is about the involvement of lots and lots of people.
that said, i've noticed that many of the successful projects on kickstarter have had at least a few high dollar pledges.
so, i figured i'd do the same.
but i had to make it fun. and that means pizza. so here it is:

Limited Reward
(1 of 1 remaining)
THE 128 BIT REWARD. so, this is pretty much like the 16 bit reward, you get sixteen words or phrases, you get 16 paintings. plus the four books. awesome, right? BUT you will also receive the following: the fourth volume of the book will be dedicated to you. sweet! also, you will be flown to grand rapids during artprize, so you can check out the exhibition and be able to vote on it! the paintings and books will be hand delivered to you by me. double sweet! plus, i will make you a pizza. that's right, I WILL MAKE YOU A PIZZA. doesn't get much better than that! but what about those other 112 bits? those will be made from words i ask total strangers for in the course of my day to day business. awesome. and then those paintings will be auctioned off after the exhibition, with proceeds going to the charity of your choice. super awesome!
Project By
Connected as Anthony Kwiatkowski (198 friends)
i'm an artist, designer, dj, geek, paperboy, and general gadfly living in grand rapids, michigan.
i make awesome stuff for awesome people. someday i hope to make a living at it.
I like it that people can be involved for as little as $10.
@shine well, that's the whole idea. but if someone with way too much money burning a hole in their pocket wants to help, who am I to argue? that's why the reward is limited to one person. and if it helps me meet the goal, all the better. after all, if the goal isn't reached, it doesn't happen for anybody.
If only I could manage to pull it off... :D
