"PRISM index, a handmade, mixed-media art book, through a website called kickstarter. If you are unfamiliar with the platform, it is crowd-sourced all-or-nothing funding. I offer up nifty rewards to funders, like PRISM index #2, original art from the compilation, metal plates from printing, etc. and if people want to help fund the project they pick a reward, or can opt to pick none. The project features 60 artists including Su Friedrich, Sam Green, Abigail Child, Stephanie Barber, Seuongho Cho, Tomonari Nishikawa, Chris Johanson, Nick Gazin, Mel Kadel, Aimee Bender, Matt Furie, Phosphorescent, David Grubbs, Guitar Slim, Big Blood and many more. The first issue features Bill Plympton, the Kuchar Brothers, Jay Rosenblatt, Trent Harris, Azazel Jacobs, the Zellner Brothers, Michael Hurley, Luke Ramsey, Lisa Hanawalt, Diane Cluck, Theo Ellsworth, Jeffrey Brown, and many more. There are so many goodies in this compilation I can barely stand it.
Every Kickstarter project must be fully funded before its time expires or no money changes hands (the project doesn't get funded and the funders are returned their money). I'm trying to raise $7,200 by June 10. You can see more information about it here, including a trailer for PRISM index:"
