WHO DOES THIS WEIRDO THINK HE IS?

I’m a maker of things, delightfully-twisted and sarcastically-strange things. These things come in many different shapes, sizes and formats – from paintings, illustrations & photography to music, writing & video.

I call these things art.

Art is weird, it’s subjective, it’s lonely, it’s powerful, it’s a struggle, it’s beautiful, it’s ugly, it’s everything, it’s nothing, it’s a community and sometimes it changes the world.

THE STRANGE PERKS OF BEING MY PATRON!

By subscribing to me on Patreon, you instantly become a patron of the arts…specifically my arts. Following me down this patron path will lead to many great things for both you and me:

1. The more support I get, the more time I can afford to provide you with your daily dose of twisted art.
2. I will hold a monthly “weird-ass art” raffle for all my $5 and up patrons, which means every month you will have the opportunity to win something I made, be it a drink coaster, a t-shirt, stickers, DVDs, signed prints…or maybe even (on special occasions) an original work of “weird-ass art”!
3. For higher level subscribers, I will share my deep-rooted madness…a look into my inner psyche…I will make a somewhat irregular creative process video journal…where I yammer on about creative shit and answer any question you may have about anything I make.
4. Even higher levels of support will get all the madness in all its raw unedited glory, every hour of every minute I spend making a piece and interacting with you guys will get posted on here for you all to binge watch.
5. Keep your eyes tuned into the rewards section; I will be adding new rewards at various levels from time to time, as inspirations for new ideas strike.

WHAT THE HECK IS ALL THIS PATREON BUSINESS?

If you haven’t figured it out yet, Patreon is an artist subscription platform, a micro-crowdfunding site…where you (the patron) can support people (hopefully me) creating things & stuff you find add value to your life. You do this by pledging any amount of loot you see fit, on a monthly basis, to help me purchase art supplies, buy food and pay bills, in exchange for exclusive Patreon ONLY subscriber rewards. In addition to all the weird shit you will get from the rewards section, each time you folks help me reach a milestone goal, I will make a special limited edition gift just for my patrons, celebrating you all helping me reach an awesome milestone.

LET'S MAKE SOME INCREDIBLY WEIRD STUFF TOGETHER!

Lets embrace all this weird shit together, I want this community to be a celebration of all the eccentric weirdos, strange oddballs and creative wackjobs who have influenced and inspired me through out my life. Let’s not hide in the shadows or suppress our eccentricities in order to fit expectations, let this community be an explosion of colorful curiosities. Join me in my journey to #EmbraceTheWeird, #QuestionEverything & #CreateTheUnexpected!

As a creative person, are you ever concerned that you will not be able to make a significant enough impact on the world before you run out of time and are no longer able to produce work? If this weighs on your mind, what do you do about it? (The impact is obviously a variable, depending on personal goals, so base it on your own ideals)

Clown is the moment you are born, your pure innocence, and the rest of your life you are trying to get it back again. — Jango Edwards

Welcome to the "finishing funds" Kickstarter campaign for the second season of "A Fool's Idea", the documentary web-series about comedy, performance, life & clown.

We have just launched our very first crowd-sourced fundraising campaign ever and we want to make it awesome! Please take a moment to watch our pitch video &  check out all the kick ass rewards you can get...

If you enjoy what we are doing, please donate now, don't wait. The more people who help us out at the beginning of the campaign the better off we will be and the more likely we will reach our goal! We want to continue making this series for many years to come for you, please help us continue to inspire the world!

A Fool's IdeaWelcome once again to Film in Progress! This is a series of articles I am doing on works in progress by filmmakers and animators. Sometimes in our line of work we don't have a lot to show for a long time because lets be honest, production time for film or animation takes an awful long time so it's difficult to show people what you're working on. So what I hope to achieve in these series of articles is to give you a chance to talk about something you're working on, and if you have stills and other pieces of development work you can show it off here as well!
To take part in this project or for more information just send me a note I can talk to you (and your team if applicable) about it!
Today we have BrianABernhard with his project, A Fool's Idea!
