The Kickstarter project is now over and we reached the $6,000 goal to get this book printed! Thank you to all who gave money and their time posting, re-posting, and re-re-posting about this project trying to get me more backers. I’m in the middle of book design and layout now and will be getting the files off to the printer soon. It will probably be a September release.
What a week! I’m extremely grateful to those who have pledged and told their friends about the project. Check out the Kickstarter project page to contribute
Rare Words Vol. 1’s funding is moving right along. Thanks to all who have contributed so far! If you would like to have a copy of a gorgeous, full color collection of illustrations then check out the Kickstarter project page to contribute.
With the aid of Kickstarter.com, I’m working towards the goal of having a high quality, full color book collection printed of my drawing blog, Rare Words. Jump on over to the project page on Kickstarter to get involved.
Those who pledge $5, $10, $20, $50, and so on not only receive my immense gratitude, but original artwork, sign books, and everything mailed to them postage paid. The goal is a big one, $6,000, but it can be done! I will post progress here and on my Twitter.
About the project:
Over a year ago I started Rare Words (http://rarewords.org) as a drawing blog to inspire collaboration with my readers. You are encouraged to submit words or a phrase that become the creative starting point for my drawings. I post the finished illustration with the name of the submitter. Response has been so great that I’ve amassed over 175 illustrations and counting.
Rare Words Vol. 1 will collect 100 of the first year drawings in a high-quality, full color collection to be printed in the US and limited to only 1,000 copies.
Rare Words is truly run by the readers and the printing of the book will be as well. In the spirit of collaboration I’m asking you to consider supporting what would hopefully be the first volume of many.
Please pass this along to friends. Thanks!
