Doodle Art Kickstarter is Live!

[haikujaguar.livejournal.com]

I've launched a ten-day kickstarter to do some doodles for people... and it's only day 2 and we are 238% funded!

So the deal is: if you back at the $30-50 levels, you will get a sketch, guaranteed. Low levels will get you a random doodle of my choice; high level pledges give you the chance to choose your color and theme. But since we've gone over our goal so quickly, I decided as incentive that for every $100 over my $300 target, I'd do a raffle among all the backers for a free sketch. So if you toss in a few bucks, you'll have a chance to win your own jaguar-doodle. So far we're going to have four of these raffles, and there are only 23 backers! So your chances are pretty good!

Even if you're not interested in a doodle of your own, I encourage you to check out the project's update blog. Every day for the ten days the project's running I'll be picking a color and talking about it, and then doing a doodle based on that color. So far I've done "clematis" and "verdigris."

This is my first experiment with an art-themed kickstarter. Kickstarter worked great for me for book-packaging projects, but I'd like to see how it works for other things. This particular project is my go at doing something very short-term (ten days) and personalized, but not very time-intensive, since right now what I don't have is time. I can find fifteen minutes to do a doodle... but I don't have several days to put into a big book or painting project.

So far so good! Come have a look!

This is clever. I'm glad it's proving so popular too.
