I for one, am I bit more alert and aware than I was last Monday, so I suppose that&#8217;s a plus!<\/p>\n<p>Today features the last KickStarter Project on my current list to share with you all, before I head off and begin the search for some new ones to share for the remainder of the week. I&#8217;ve decided to go with some more &#8220;artistic&#8221; based this time around, as I feel I haven&#8217;t featured many like this in the past.<\/p>\n<p>So before I end up taking up too much of your time, let&#8217;s hope into it!<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<p>Today&#8217;s featured project is developed by Daniel Kern, who is based out of Southern Massachusetts.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel specializes in Ink Drawings\/Art which he has been doing for years, and is now looking to share his creations with the rest of the world and the artistic community in general!<\/p>\n<p>The project is enttiled &#8220;TesseraE I&#8221; and is a small art book that he has had in his mind over the past few years. The collection of art, which TesseraE I will feature &#8220;selected ink drawings, paintings, and sketches that pile up around the larger works.&#8221; Essentially these pieces are smaller remains from bigger projects that Daniel has been working on, but just didn&#8217;t make the cut. That is not to say that these pieces of art are not good, in fact, they&#8217;re absolutely stunning! You can check out some of his work below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/danielkern\/tesserae-i-a-collection-of-ink-drawings\/widget\/video.html\" height=\"360\" width=\"480\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Thornsdottir, 11 x 17 Print\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/005\/260\/005\/97eaa56e46c041c2ca1efab6e3ada80f_original.jpg?v=1453920442&amp;w=680&amp;fit=max&amp;auto=format&amp;q=92&amp;s=77b12f04c6231fa7b5c963a1e580cf06\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Soma's Imprisonment, 11 x 17 Print\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/005\/260\/010\/6ff5a6f2c4b2fc35a8d61420d0e7b7b1_original.jpg?v=1453920479&amp;w=680&amp;fit=max&amp;auto=format&amp;q=92&amp;s=a473147cc591931fedc34e1ef7564549\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As you can see, the sketches speak for themselves as to why this project definitely deserves some funding. Ink Art is something that is entirely new to me, and while I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s a common work of art within the Art community, it&#8217;s definitely nice to see something different on the rise.<\/p>\n<p>The project has a goal of $4,500 with $1,196 currently pledged and 12 days remaining. While the Kickstarter campaign is nearing it&#8217;s end, there is still a bit of time for David to reach his goal!<\/p>\n<p>David also hopes to release a volume of collections each year if this one proves to be successful, so if you find this project intriguing, be sure to show your support and pledge!<\/p>\n<p>David has also set up some awesome rewards which you can check out below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong>Rewards<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Pledge $5 or more<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>A digital copy of TesseraE I and my eternal thanks for helping me make this real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pledge $15 or more<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>TESSERAE I: EARLY BIRD SPECIAL<\/p>\n<p>A digital\/physical softcover copy of the book, signed and numbered and my eternal thanks for helping make this real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pledge $20 or more<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>TESSERAE I<\/p>\n<p>A digital\/physical softcover copy of the book, signed and numbered and my eternal thanks for helping make this real.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pledge $30 or more<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>TESSERAE I: THORNSDOTTIR<\/p>\n<p>A digital copy and a physical softcover copy of the book, signed and numbered along with an 11 x 17, signed, high quality print of Thornsdottir listed in the campaign.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Pledge $50 or more<\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>TESSERAE I: SKETCH EDITION<\/p>\n<p>A digital copy and a physical softcover copy of the book, signed and numbered along with a 6 x 8 original ink sketch of a subject of the artist&#8217;s choosing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"divider\"><\/div>\n<p>You can learn more about the project as well as help support, fund, and view the full list of pledge rewards, by visiting the official KickStarter Page located <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/danielkern\/tesserae-i-a-collection-of-ink-drawings?ref=category_newest\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone!
