It’s certainly the future for collaborative idea-sharing and idea-execution!

It’s just a shame that Kickstarter can only be used by those with a US bank account, which pretty much means it’s open for only US artists. I hope it changes soon.

PLEASE SUPPORT my own art project at http://www.indiegogo.com/glass – please make a donation or click the ‘Feature It!’ link under the ‘Perks’ column on the right hand side. Thanks!!!

I first heard about it when An Xiao’s story popped up on my twitter feed. Even though we didn’t know each other at all, I was happy to contribute to a fellow artist doing something cool. I like the way this funding model takes the power away from an elite few ‘gatekeepers’ and fosters genuine links between artists and people who choose to fund them.
