CUBIE lives. I want to ramp up funds to $2,000 ASAP - more art and more exhibitions are coming up in December.
Bill Myers is raising funds for a self-support art gallery exhibitions this Fall in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Contributions raised for this Project will be used for Art Gallery Showroom support and expenses, materials associated for construction of each individual CUBIE artwork and related promotional expenses for the exhibition.
The overall Project anticipates creating 75 or more new CUBIE artworks ranging in size from 1.5 inches square to about 1 feet square. A few CUBIE are about one-inch square.
Most of the CUBIE artworks to be created will be approximately eight to ten inches square and feature an internal battery operated "nightlights" that gives each sculpture a warm "glow" day or night.
A perfect gift or artwork any collector can be proud of, CUBIE is ideal in home or office and offers admiration whether or not "lighted".
CUBIE is easy to maintain with a few low-voltage batteries.
Small and medium sized CUBIE is closed on four sides and the top and the bottom is open for easy access to the battery operated LED light. Also, this is convenient if CUBIE is placed on a pedestal that can be lighted from within the support.
In some cases and in a Larger CUBIE, access to the lighting units is gained by simply swinging open one side of CUBIE for access. One panel is hinged with a tiny latch and you can open it up as easily as a door.
The battery operated lights are approved UL approved, LED low voltage, off the shelf utility lights similar to "flashlights" that operate on either 1, 2 or 3 AAA batteries. CUBIE comes with lights and batteries are included.
For Gallery presentations, CUBIE is designed for table top or for free-standing.
And, CUBIE's proudly rest on top of Plexiglas pedestals.
Due to the young age, CUBIE is not able to walk yet.
The Project requires collection or purchase of recycled computer circuit boards, construction, finishing and installation of low-power battery operated lights inside CUBIE for awesome inspiring effects.
Total Cost of the Project includes Artwork Construction, Literature, Advertising, Art Gallery Showroom rental, Media and Art Critic invitations to attend the Artist's reception as well as Invitations for Sponsors, Collectors and CUBIE friends.
Everyone is welcome to this unique show and you may find out the up coming dates on future Kickstarter postings as well as on Twitter, Facebook, Myspace and Youtube.
Just Search "Bill Myers CUBIE" and CUBIE will find you.

THE STYLES AND SUBJECTS I PLAN TO OFFER AS REWARDS ARE INDICATED BELOW:
BILLS "THANK YOU" CARDS AS REWARDS - Starting at $5.00
These artworks are created with India ink and watercolors on paper. Larger versions have been painted on canvas boar, stretched canvas and created as murals. Prices for these artworks normally range from $50 to $2,500 depending upon size and subject matter.
BILLS BIRDS series - "The Bird Family with Baby Bird"
BELOW - FANTASY FOREST series - As the case with many artists, we have been inspired by others. My favorites include the Impressionists, Post-impressionists, Fauve Period and Modern Masters. The Fantasy Forest Series is inspired by Matisse, Van Gogh and Wolf Kahn.
FANTASY FOREST series - "Yellow Trees in the Fantasy Forest"
VARIOUS SIZES, SUBJECTS & COLORS
FANTASY FOREST Series - "Snow in Fantasy Forest"
FANTASY FOREST Series - "Orange Trees in Fantasy Forest"
BELOW - STORMY NIGHTS series - Also, have been inspired by a famous Master Artist if both the Fauve Period and a Post-impressionist, Maurice de Vlaminck.
STORMY NIGHTS ARE DARK - I ALSO PAINT "STORMY DAYS" - THESE ARTWORKS ARE BOLD, POWERFUL EXPRESSIONIST PAINTINGS AND INTENSELY COLORFUL
STORMY NIGHTS series - "Magic Mountain"
BELOW - EARTHY ABSTRACTS Series- features heavy use of modeling paste, gel medium and acrylic paint on board, canvas board and stretched canvas.

Another version of the series includes a colorful palette of undersea blue, green, teal, orange and yellow.
EARTHY ABSTRACTS Series - "Fossil Find"

BELOW - MY LOVELY LADIES Series - was inspired by several famous artists from different eras; Kees van Dongen, Henri de Toulouse Lautrec, Charles Levier and another French artist Pierre Cassigneul. I believe women have inspired men - the men and women who create art - have always been influenced by women in their lives. Whether the cabaret, cafe, beach, forest or boudoir, women - and "Lovely Ladies" - have always inspired me as well.
LOVELY LADIES Series - "Ladies Walking in Fantasy Forest"
LOVELY LADIES Series - "Lady on Vacation"
LOVELY LADIES Series - "Lady by the Sea"
BELOW - OPEN WINDOWS Series - I was inspired by Matisse, Braque, Vlaminck, Levier and Nicola Simbari who are masters at capturing the beautiful seas and winding city lanes, lush gardens or people on a strol - and, often as viewed from indoors looking out. So do I admire these scenic moody visions and paint them for others.
OPEN WINDOWS Series - "Sea the Med"
IDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS are indeed NOT UFO's - and obviously less
of a threat to Mankind - unless one accidentally lands on a house.
IDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS Series - "Where is My Tie?"
IDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT Series - "Incoming Pyramids"

Risks and challenges Learn about accountability on Kickstarter
I have been building CUBIEs for some time and have most of them completed already. Plus, I have plenty of materials in stock. Thus, rewards delivery is not an issue, challenge or obstacle that I see with respect to this project. Maybe I will run out of epoxy or it will become unavailable. I cannot see any problem with finishing artworks for my exhibition. The number of artworks featured are my choice and number. "What if, something happens anyway"? Your guess is as good as my guess as to "What if SOMETHING HAPPENS anyway. I have been building projects for 50 years and, so far, everything has gone smoothly. If there is a problem with anything, I will inform everyone at once.
