MONEY UPDATE -- Art For All -- Clever Creator's Steemstarter
Being an American with a box crushing brain is great -- most of the time. Sometimes, I forget that my dictionary does not match everyone else's dictionary (although, I am constantly reminding folks about this in chat). I will be posting a call for artists and two prototype cards, in a few hours.
Let's jump in with the two amazing folks that offered art to place on products, at Not Shakespeare's School:
@saywha has his Monster Doodle's on t-shirts and @beyondthecrypto has his Yunktown on a mug! Once my project is funded, these artists will receive 50% of the profits from the sales of the items with their art on it. Other products are coming soon.
I wanted to get my maths out first. My goal is technically $20,000 SBD/Steem -- due to the market and to keep my maths straight, I am going to list my amounts in USD.
What The 20K Will Be Used For

Questions that I see:
- Why no food in this budget? I am blessed with a food allowance at this time in my life of $352 USD per month.
- Why no car loan payment? I bought my car in 2008 and wrote a check for roughly $17,000. 2008 Ford Focus (love her much).
- Why so much postage? This is to reimburse artists (from overseas) for art that I want in hand (see Deck 1 Prototype Post).
- Why two months of life expenses? Because I truly want to launch this project properly and keep investing in Steemians.
If you have other questions, please feel free to email me ([email protected]) and I will place them in the next Tuesday Money Update.
I have had more interest in this project since relaunching as a Steemstarter -- Thank you all!
Amount still needed as of July 18, 2017: $19,971.12
The first three shirts were purchased by @yunkzilla and @saywha -- who just happen to live 30 minutes from each other. I am looking forward to seeing their post, with their shirts on!!!

My very first contribution pledge (on Kickstarter) was from @elliotjgardner -- and for this I am beyond thankful as this project is not only huge, but something I am passionate about.
Since launching this Steemstarter, my first contribution of 2 SBD was from @kryptik -- He said it was not a huge contribution and that is not true. I do not want Steemians to think that 1 or 2 SBD cannot make a difference. Every single contribution is a step towards paying out the first round to get Steemians Arting for All!
And I am of course going to invest my own earned SBD into this project as well.

I am off to pickup the photos to use in the prototype now -- Next steps on the way soon.
Enjoy the Bunny that is allowing Zeph to get closer and closer to them --- oh the cuteness in my world is a bit much at times...

I like what you're doing here and wish you much success with this. How do you go about getting your...for want for better words..."art stock"?
Wow! This is very good. I myself love art and this is very inspiring. Keep up the good work. @clevercreator
