Update #4: Additional rewards
As a final promotion to raise the money for the project I have decided to throw in one of my hand screen printed posters. These are collaborations with several artist’s I did a few years ago. If you pledge at least $10 I will send you one of these along with a few butter stickers.
Update #3: Pledge reward images
Here are examples of what the prizes look like. I'll be making a few small adjustments to the designs and updating them throughout the project. For example, I want to put the website on the sticker. I'll also have actual photos of the butter wrappers when I finish the design.
Update #2: Shirt designs
Here's a couple of designs that are options for the $100 pledge. I'm interested in hearing your feedback on which one you like best. For the reward, each shirt will be carefully stained with 4 ounces of butter (half a stick) and signed by me.

I definitely like the first design. I am also hoping for a more feminine style shirt. Actually I just want a picture of you, on the bike, eating buttered toast.

Great. By feminine style I'm assuming you mean one cut for a woman's figure? If so, I was planning on giving that as an option already I just forgot to mention it in the post.

I think #1 says it all. Plus you have more room for the butter stains.
