Art Kickstarter Projects You Do Not Want To Miss

Pleasie is a soft lovable plush from Cretaceous period. Designed with qualities that make her both child and adult friendly, she is ready to go on great adventures with everyone.

My name is Alex Hoffman. I have always used art and music to cope with my anxiety and depression. I am diagnosed with social anxiety, panic disorder, and major depressive disorder. I'm not ashamed of it. It's made me who I am in some ways, and has most definitely shaped me as an artist.

The stuff I make is not only to cope, but to make something positive out of the negative energy. Before I got help, I knew that I was stuck in that low point for as long as it wanted me there. So, I figured, 'if I'm going to feel this way, I might as well make something out of it.' This is how I found catharsis, and processed my emotions. Those dark feelings are pretty abstract, and anyone who's felt them knows that you don't usually know where they're coming from, or why they're there, or what they mean. So it made sense that art and music could help me figure it out or at the very least release it through a process that is just as abstract as the feeling itself.

So that's where "PERSONAL HELL" comes in, and why I'm here asking for your help. Because I want to promote recovery and mental health, but make it cool (for lack of a better term). Recovery and healthy habits can be really fucking cool, which I've only begun learning recently. Mental health in the artistic community can get pretty rough, and it makes sense because why else would we want to create if we were OK with the stuff that already exists. My point is, I see so many artist making really cool shit, but promoting unhealthy lifestyles. And I'm not here to judge AT ALL, cus I'm no saint, trust me. But I guess all I'm saying is I just want people to be happy, with out acting like everything is OK. So, in a poorly written nutshell, that's what "PERSONAL HELL" is.  It's some cool clothes and shit, that I hope can bring people together and let them know that they're not alone.

PERSONAL HELL:

Here's the practical details.

Using my original designs, I will...

- create apparel

- screen print everything by hand

- market my products online through my website

- and reinvest profits to grow my brand

So, I need your help before I can even get started on these 4 steps! If you decide you'd like to contribute to my goal you will be helping buy my blank t-shirts, get supplies for screen printing, begin marketing, and keep me alive along the way. I really can't do this without you guys! Thanks for your help.

love,

Alex

I wanted to make a deck that I could never find myself. I have quite a collection of decks, personally, and I love them, but what i've never been able to find is a deck--even a modern one--that was full of color. My goal with this tarot deck was to combine all of my accrued tarot knowledge and my artistic vision to create a truly modern deck. One that has both influences from pop culture and goth culture, as well as the occasional dash of older esoteric imagery. I wanted to make a deck that featured people of all colors, genders(or lack thereof), and sexualities (as a queer person of color making sure that there's representation, especially within the tarot, which a lot of people just like me work with, is very important to me). When you see yourself represented in a deck, it's easier to connect and understand. I wanted to create a deck that I--and people like me--could connect with. Along with that, i also wanted to make a deck intended for tarot spells. Colors play such an important role in magick; the right addition of color not only aids in the boosting of your focus but also evoking more potent energy to work with.

There's only five days left and if you pledge $35 dollars you get a copy of the deck so back it before its sold out forever!!!

New Zealand doesn't have a dinosaur museum and we aim to change that.  On 12 Jan 2018 we launched our Kickstarter Campaign to create The Jurassic Museum, New Zealand's Dinosaur and Fossil Museum.

The Jurassic Museum will house dinosaur fossil casts, interactive display panels and fun educational activities for children too.

It will be a place where families can create memories together that will last a lifetime.

As part of our Stretch Goal we will have 'Stan' the T-Rex who measures 12.2 meters long and 3.7 meters tall at the hip, 'Lane' the Triceratops, 100's of other fossil skulls, bone, teeth and claw casts and originals.

We plan The Jurassic Museum to be a world class location for locals and tourist to enjoy and to create memories at.

Did you know... That most tattoo shops use ink that contains Bone Char,   Glycerin From Animal Fat, Gelation from Hoofs, and Shellac from Beetles?

Shocking. I know.

But Not Anymore!

Our Ink Contains zero animal products. Its never tested on animals . It's better for immunity and overall health. And more reliable and safer on the skin with long-lasting ink and better vibrancy.

We not only look out for your safety but we look out for your skin and most importantly your beliefs. We understand the importance of cruelty-free products. Our Temporary Vegan Tattoo Ink will contain no animal products and will never be tested on animals. Not only will we make sure we meet global health standards but we also make sure we meet the approval of vegans around the world. Permanent vegan tattooing can cost a lot according to the time involved. Names and really small tattoos cost about $50-$80. Larger and complex tattoos can cost thousands of dollars. An average small tattoo cost about $100.

Our tattoos look authentic and last long because our ink sinks into the top layer of your skin (called the epidermis, if you wanna get technical) where it reacts with organic compounds to change your skin’s color. Our ink is skin-safe, painless and made from all natural ingredients. The active compounds in our ink are naturally derived from the Genipa Americana plant. Tribes in South America have used this plant as body ornamentation for thousands of years. Our tattoo applicators will be made from FDA approved materials. We gathered our favorite herbs and enlisted the help of artist Vincent Jeannerot to create an herbal bouquet pleasing to the eyes and nose! The Bouquet Garni Set is a collection of Parsley, Sage, Rosemary, and Thyme. Sing it loud and wear it proud. For this third Scented Tattly collaboration, we once again turned to Agilex Fragrances to develop the unique and subtle fragrance. The top notes include Red Thyme, Italian Bergamot, Sheer White Spice Accord; the middle notes feature Parsley Leaf, Moroccan Rosemary, Wild Sage; and the bottom notes contain White Musk, Clear Musk, and White Sandalwood.

I'm a digital/traditional artist and owner of my online shop Vicki Be Wicked who has recently developed a love for enamel pins.

I have a love for strange art wearable art. These enamel pins are one of a kind original art created by me. The initial goal is for the zombie girl pin. These can make a wonderful gift or you can just keep it for yourself.

Insightful stories from artists behind ‘Song of the Sea’, ‘Loving Vincent + 10 other projects in innovative art book format.

The extraordinary success story of SANDDORN BALANCE began over twenty years ago. In 1996, the Swiss theatre producer Maedir Rigolo created a balancing act for the stage production SANDDORN. The play is set in knee-deep sand; the only props are the withered ribs of date and coconut palm leaves, which Maedir Rigolo collected from the most beautiful beaches in the world. But it took years for the balancing act to draw the attention of vaudeville and circus producers and for its worldwide success to be set in motion.

In 2012 Lara Jacobs Rigolo , Maedir’s daughter, Brought this unique act to the Cirque du Soleil stage in their production, “Amaluna.” The act became a huge success and was honored with the award of “Nestrucks Top Ten, Toronto 2012:Best Circus Act.” It was in Montreal where Lara decided to create a miniature version of the balancing sticks for the public to enjoy at home. The sticks are made from black walnut wood, noted for its deep brown color. Careful precision goes into the making of each set of balancing sticks. Lara herself puts the finishing touches on every set before it is released for sale to ensure its

pe-rfection.

This enamel pin design honors the #KyloRenChallenge. If you don't know what that is, you must be living under a rock in Garbage Compactor #3263827. You must also not be following John Mayer on Instagram.

Basically, the #KyloRenChallenge is a ridiculous photo fad in which "Wanna-Bens" recreate the steamiest scene in The Last Jedi. The scene is infamous for showing a vengeful, shirtless Kylo with his knickers up way too high. Perhaps he'd be less testy if his panties weren't in a literal bunch.

The Butterfly Effect Tarot Deck is a full 78 card deck about femininity in a variety of forms.

It's about being comfortable in your skin, about being able to be whoever you want to be. This deck is an expression of what's most important to me - to showcase women as they are, no matter the shape, size, or color. It is my hope that through the mysticism of the Tarot, this deck will cause a literal butterfly effect - one that will resonate positivity, love, and hope to women everywhere.

This deck explores Tarot through the lens of Body Positivity. Using both modern and traditional elements, I illustrated each of the Major Arcana and the Court cards with the intent of showcasing diversity and empowerment. Even the negative and masculine cards are drawn with this in mind to the best of my abilities. The use of the butterfly wings acts as a beacon of hope, of joy, of the soul - it's an excellent symbol for a tool as mystical as the Tarot.

By simplifying the deck into the core meanings, I hope that this will be a great addition to anyone’s collection, and I hope that people find meaning through these cards in their readings.
