Fantastic : Target has been reached; a massive thank you to all the funders! There are still many days left on this pitch, and I«m still accepting funding. The first reward,see here, will reach you in time for Xmas if you contribute before the end of the second week of December. All future funders will receive their reward in 2012. Hello All, I'm a new illustrator seeking funds to market my work. I'm all set to go, and require help with the start up costs. Everyone wants to get their hands on something special and this provides a perfect opportunity to help me out and acquire a hand crafted artifact that is totally unique, tasteful and fun! You will be helping me to pay for my marketing mail out and create awareness among the art directors, commissioners and agencies who hire illustrators, so I am following the time honoured route adopted by all practicing illustrators : The Mail Out - a printed poster or pamphlet with my work. With your help, I can pay for my printing costs and get my career underway. Futher funding will also enable me to tweak my website, obtain some new marketing tools and invest in some extra storage and back up My work is attracting praise, so I invite you to visit my website and have a look around - there's something for everyone as I work in traditional and digital media, with a broad range of subject matter. For £20 (£25* if outside UK for p&p) : a Limited Edition A2, Seasonal Themed Sprayed Stencil on quality paper, numbered and signed. This is what you will receive. Due to the material nature of production, no two pieces will be the same. These will be sent in a cardboard tube to avoid any damage and by recorded delivery. For £40 (£45* if outside UK for p&p) : an A4 watercolour commission (unframed) - you decide the brief and I shall create a piece for you - be as detailed or as broad as you wish, check out my watercolour pieces here. Sent in a strong carboard backed envelope with recorded delivery.You will hold the full image rights and I ask that I can reproduce these pieces on my website. If you do not wish to have this image published, that is absolutely no problem. For £70 (£75* if outside UK for p&p) : a Digital Commission in PDF format - and can be printed to A3 size on quality satin paper, signed. These pieces form the majority of my portfolio and are pretty time intensive in the making : check out the gallery, most of my work is created in the Adobe Creative Suite.You will hold the full image rights and I ask that I can reproduce these pieces on my website. If you do not wish to have this image published, that is absolutely no problem. *For those living outside of the UK who wish to contribute and receive an award, please make your donation to the correct amount using the "No Rewards" field in the Rewards tab - Crowdfunder cannot accept denominations of £5 for a reward, but can accept these dominations in the No Rewards field, hence this work around - all contributions will be honoured and you will receive your reward : Crowd Funder support are aware of this arrangement for this pitch

Two more contributions received today, and most welcome are they. I was satisfied that the pitch target was reached, but we«re nearly 200 pounds over, which is fantastic as it means I can refine the marketing that your contributions are paying for.
So a New Year, and your continued support gives…
Splendid : target has been achieved. THANKYOU ALL
Much to do with setting up a business, but this certainly maintains the wind in the sails, and I'm hungry to get on.
Still accepting contributions, as the mail out can never be too big and the site needs a couple of tweaks, so…
Only a few days into the pitch, and nearly half the amount is raised, with promise of many more pledges, which is encouraging and affirming.
