Shameless Pleading . . . GO!

Jose and I have received approval to officially and legally fund-raise for the first annual Lines on the Road trip!  Please note the shiny new banner in the right sidebar of our blog just there (or the FundRazr button on FB), and the hopeful look in our eyes as we shamelessly plead for donations.

I know expecting to raise a few thousand dollars over the course of the next month seems crazy or ill-timed given how soon we'll be traveling, but trust me, we've taken our medication.  We knew we were a little late to the party with our idea to really make a dent in expenses with donations or sales, and grants were out of the question since we'd already missed most of the deadlines.  But when one considers we only need 500 people to donate $10 each, it seems feasible, right?

That's less than the cost of a movie ticket!

If you gave up a night out at the cinema and gave us $10, you'd get:

  • the sweet satisfaction of being a patron of the arts
  • your name or organization's logo featured on our blog page (optional)
  • over 30 days of entertainment (vs. only 2 hours with a movie!)
  • first-hand notice of photos and original art available for sale from the road
  • an insider's look into the creation of original art, from inspiration to completion
  • blushing commentary while Jose follows his dream of driving naked through the desert
  • advance notice of new merchandise featuring illustrations inspired by and created during our journey
  • a heartfelt "Thank you!" from us when all our work is featured in a final show

And with the $2 you saved by not buying that theatre ticket, you can still rent a movie from Red Box.  It's a win-win.

Donate $10 today, help us out and still watch a great movie.  Or, donate to our trip and not watch the movie.  But either way be sure to donate to our trip!

Many thanks in advance, -EA and Jose
