Giant Theremin Dreams Can Happen to Anyone!

Help me realize the dream of helping two amazing engineer/artists programmed for Art Pop 2009 build a giant room-sized theremin! Watch this video and go to kickstarter and donate and get awesome prizes, like jokes with your name in them all the way to a loudspeaker suit. Check it out!

And yes, obviously I am committed to this project enough if I am willing to jump around in a video like this. Not embarassed at all....

here's the link that gets you to the project description and prizes...

Art Pop 2009 Redux

Um...I don't even know what redux means, but I think I am using this term correctly.

You know when it's as if your brain had a subconscious thing going on where it learned something you didn't think it did? Like all the stuff stored up in your head about Avril Lavigne and Jem dolls that you could do without and you have no idea how the information got there...

So I am still raising funds for Art Pop, the non-for-profit Pop Montreal's visual arts segment, of which I am a volunteer. We need your help to drive the program we've curated into existence. I am pretty passionate about the artists we have lined up for this year.

Here's a pdf that gives tons of info about Art Pop 2009 for you to peruse. And here's my initial call-out for fundz.

And the photos are from one of last year's festival projects, Lop Art duo nights held in partnership with Loplop and Agence Topo. Featured artists in these photos are Tyler Rauman and Diane Obomsawin.

We had an amazing time, and you can take a look at the program for 2008 here.

To donate, just click on the paypal donate button on the top right of the screen. And as I mentioned previously, any donation $10 or over gets you a drawing mailed to your doorstep. See the initial call-out for further details on the prizes offered for you being so darn amazing.

Art Pop Fundraising Drive 2009!!! Donate to get Personal Drawings sent to you in the mail! Or someone you love!

So as one of the many things I chew on as I make my way throughout the day, one of the ones that I am most passionate about is this visual arts festival I am involved with. It's Art Pop, which is a segment of the amazing international Music Festival, Pop Montreal.

So here's the deal: I am offering, as a fundraising initiative, wee drawings like the ones seen in this post,(click on the image to get a closer look at them) for donations of $10 CAD and more. $10 gets you a pretty small (but really awesome) drawing, and if you donate $20 or more, you can ask me what to draw, (as long as your rabbi would give it the kosher thumbs-up, as I draw little lambs that are naive and don't want to be corrupted)

If you donate $30 or more, I will draw something AND also as a bonus include several images of things I find interesting, or an article I'm reading that's been inspiring, or email you an MP3 of a good song that might cheer up your day.

Anything over $40 means I will create a cake in the shape and likeness of your face, and then film myself eating it, and then send it to you.

Or make a suggestion! I am open to creative acts (again, rabbi-approved) that would make you happy. Get me to sing a stranger a song! I will get someone to film it for you. The sky's the limit. Although I am afraid of heights.

Here's the deal - you donate on Paypal, and once I see your details arrive, I will email you to see what type of gift you'd like. If I don't hear back from you, I will assume you want a drawing and mail it to whatever billing address you've filled out.

The drawings will be mailed to anyone of your choice, so this is a great fun gift for someone you love. Send someone anywhere in the world a drawing that has helped contribute to an awesome arts festival. I will send stuff anywhere in the world, with normal shipping, without any extra cost to you.

And, of course, I will also ship, in a different, magical way, eternal love to you and yours for helping us out.
