Here’s another background painting from scene one- the trailer park.
The kickstarter campaign is still live— but only for 6 more days. We’re at 88% and rising. Please contribute and get us to that finish line by next week!
ONE WEEK LEFT to meet our fundraising goal!
We’ve come so far on this kickstarter campaign— it would be a shame to get this far and fall short. Spread the word and let’s push this over the top! And, again, big thanks to those who have contributed!

8 Days left!
The kickstarter campaign for Boxer Story has ONE WEEK LEFT and we are 80% of the way to our funding goal. Many, many thanks to those of you who have already contributed on the site. Please spread the word to anyone else you think might be interested in being a part of this. Here’s the link…

Boxer Story is a 20-minute animated film about an up-and-coming boxer in 1970’s New Orleans. It’s a film I’ve been wanting to make for several year now.
For anyone out there unfamiliar with how kickstarter works…
Kickstarter.com is a site that provides independent creators with a way to raise cash for their projects by offering little incentives (like movie posters, copies of the soundtrack, etc.) to people who contribute money. But the campaign only lasts for 30 days and it’s all or nothing funding— which means if you don’t raise your funding goal amount in the alotted time, you get nothing. Again, Boxer Story is 80% funded with one week left. WE CAN DO THIS!

They guys as Spill.com had me in as a guest on their podcast this week. If you’re looking for something fun to listen to, here it is.
And, by the way, last night we crossed over the halfway mark on the kickstarter campaign. This crazy idea might just work! Keep posting and reposting the link so we can cross that finish line! Every little bit helps!

The kickstarter project has been up for a little over a week and we’re over a third of the way to our goal. That’s a fantastic start, but I need to keep the momentum going to finish strong. So please keep spreading the word.
I’ve had a lot of requests for more downloadable rewards, and I’ve had a lot of inquiries about how I’m making this film, so I’m adding a digital ‘Art of Boxer Story’ reward today. It’s a downloadable book with loads and loads of art and photos and demonstrations of my process.
