Raising funds for a gallery show of Star Wars-inspired oils

Chris Woods sez, "In light of today's STAR WARS news please check out my STAR WARS-inspired museum-show of paintings. SANDSTORM will show at The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford, BC in the summer of 2013."

My paintings over the last twenty-four years have looked at the far-reaching effects of mass-produced culture on the individual. They have appeared twice on the cover of Adbusters Magazine and in eighteen solo exhibitions in Canada and the United States since 1988.
Recently, I was invited to exhibit my work at The Reach Gallery Museum in Abbotsford, BC. This show, set to run in the summer of 2013, represents the first time in my twenty-four years as a visual artist that I have been asked to mount a solo exhibition in a museum setting.

Woods is looking to raise $14,000 on Indiegogo to pay for his living expenses, materials, and new tools.

SANDSTORM: One Fan's Elegy to the Original STAR WARS Trilogy

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

“I can’t fund your hobby. I need the money I earn working every day to pay for my own hobbies. Sorry”

…is what a jerk might say.

And that jerk might be me.

  If your comments are directly aimed at the Star Wars kickstarter than I’d offer a small correction. This guy appears to be doing art as his living not a hobby.
  
  SO!
  
  A well informed jerk might instead say…
  
  “I can’t fund your profession. I need the money I earn working every day to pay for my own hobbies. Sorry.”
