Kickstarter with stamps / postcards ...

Hey guys,

Non-flamenco post here. I'm currently doing a Kickstarter project trying to raise cash for an exhibit in February. It's a small project (only shooting for $500) and will use the funds to frame paintings.

I'm offering things from framed art to postcards sent from Brasil (with a painting or drawing by me on the back + a stamp from Brasil). This last one is awesome for collectors.

Anyway, here's the link: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1273459531/operation-frame

I'd love it if you'd stop by, share, ask questions, etc. The market here is brutal and I need this to work to exhibit these paintings.

Thanks and happy holidays!

Greg

Bumping just to say that I'm at just about 80% of my goal.

Thanks to those who have stopped by and / or donated. Would love it if you could share it with family and friends, too.

Happy holidays!
Greg

Last day today, and the project has been a complete success with 150% of the goal earned. Totally stoked about this. Thanks to all who participated. Greatly appreciated as I couldn't have done this without you.

For those who want to jump in on the last day, here are some paintings still available:

Two of the above are paintings of Spain, with one being Barcelona and the other Ardales, in Andalucia.

Thanks. Really happy. Frames are paid for as are some materials I needed to start in with some watercolor paintings (new medium for me) and next week some canvases that I need to buy to start a new(ish) abstract cityscape line.

The new abstract line will be similar to these paintings below, which I feel will help get me into some galleries based on the response I've received in the past:

So all in all, a success. Hoping to contact the Spanish institute here in a few months to have another exhibit at the end of the year. I'll probably do a flamenco or spain-specific kickstarter for that project, too.

In any case, not sure if anyone here participated, but if you did - greatly appreciated. thanks.
