Kickstarter Shenanigans

margo_sxs2_340_0760_01

So – I decided to make a fun, silly video – hoping it might have a better chance of going viral – or at least getting the attention of more of the people I know – who might be able to contribute to this project. I would like to get a few more shots. If you have any ideas – let me know.

Check out some stills from Saturday’s shoot at the link below:

Day 3

Okay… this Kickstarter project is way more stressful then I imagined. The deadline, the “all or nothing” and – just the act of asking people for money. It’s all stressful and I just don’t think I have a big enough network of people who are willing to help me out.

Day 1 pledges = $350
Day 2 pledges = $50
Day 3 pledges = $0
30 Facebook “likes”

Time to re-think this thing! I will be spending the weekend making a new video. A silly video – with my kids help. I am hoping maybe this might help me get the word out to a larger group of people…. if I can make the video really funny & appealing. Lets hope!!!

First 3 Paintings

The Real Liquid Gold – Exploring world water issues

I have one painting (a transitional piece – the only one of this series that will feature the redhead woman) nearly completed. I also have 2 others started.

The transitional piece is about overfishing & shows specific species of wildlife that is the most devastatingly effected. The second painting I started is about polluting groundwater and the third painting is about an oil spill.

What topics do YOU want to see?

Just back from Guatemala

Just back from Guatemala

 I was recently in Guatemala to film a documentary for Las Manos de Christine. The children were SO adorable!
Las Manos provides English programs, resources, and trained teachers to non-profits and other groups who work with underprivileged children in an educational capacity.

 

Tailored English programs are designed by education professionals, each class is assigned a permanent, trained and experienced instructor, volunteers are integrated into the program to give direct assistance to individuals and the classes are taught with the latest teaching methods and using the most effective resources available.

 

You can still make a donation to the documentary here:

Lake Owen Fun Dive – 2011

Lake Owen Fun Dive – 2011

Threw this video together last night – at the request of my son Steel. This is what it’s like to dive in Lake Owen. It’s a fairly clear lake in Cable, WI. During the day you can catch little cray fish & feed the bass – while they follow you around waiting for treats. At night it’s easy to find bigger cray fish that can be boiled up for a group meal…. for those who have the stomach for it! (Not me)
