I will digitally hand illustrate 100 of your kids or loved ones from a photo provided by you. You will receive an illustration of someone you love either on a canvas, printed cards, and/or a digital file which will be delivered to you.
Art projects can be very liberating for me and alleviate the burden of analysis, planning, preparation and process – something that dogs me. Working with kids I’ve discovered first hand how important it is to just ‘go’ and have fun without a paralyzing myself with too much thinking, fear or a need for perfection.
Over last few years, I’ve been volunteering my time with schools to work with kids on collaborative art projects. The art work would typically be transferred onto canvas and auctioned off to raise money for the school. One recent project I ended up hand-illustrating a class of 26 kids as they physically expressed themselves (individually) by jumping in the air, doing a dance move, or posing with their pet. It was a lot of fun and the inspiration for the Make100 project here on Kickstarter.
Now I’m boldly taking on the Make100 with 100 different illustrations of people you share with me. Unlike the kids, this is more of an unknown. I plan to illustrate digitally by hand 100 different images (depending on backers) from a photo shared by them. You, the contributor, will receive the original artwork and media depending on your award selection.
The art work will be delivered on a canvas, printed cards you can mail out, or however you would like to use from a digital file you receive from me.
I’m pumped and excited to see if we can do this. Please help us make this happen by contributing.
For a class it took some time to get the art piece right and to illustrate all 26 children individually. So time is a consideration, however I know more now than when I embarked on that project and these will not need to be combined which will save time. I’m confident and excited about making this a reality, will you help me? For the costs, I’ve estimated how much materials will be including the shipping costs. I’m trying to keep all costs low and reasonable. I’ve researched the most affordable vendors to help me here. I’m also confident in this aspect as well.
