I’m stepping out of the digital space and into the real world — bringing my graphic surrealist work to a live audience for the first time.

### How Funds Will Be Used

This project is not just about creating individual artworks — it’s about building a full creative ecosystem that brings graphic surrealism into physical space, digital platforms, and public exhibition.

Funds raised will support three key areas:

#### Art Production & Materials

* Canvases, boards, and specialty surfaces

* Paints, inks, adhesives, and mixed media materials

* Sculptural elements and experimental textures

* Tools and equipment required to construct each piece in the series

#### Documentation & Content Creation

To share the process and build an audience around the work:

* Camera equipment (video + photography)

* Lighting setups for studio and filming

* Microphones and audio gear for clear storytelling

* Tripods, mounts, and streaming equipment

* Editing software and production tools

This allows the project to live beyond the studio — through YouTube, social media, and live streams — bringing supporters directly into the process.

#### Apparel, Prints & Physical Products

To expand the work into tangible, collectible formats:

* High-quality art print production

* Test runs for apparel (t-shirts, hoodies, etc.)

* Skate deck printing and product prototyping

* Packaging, labeling, and shipping materials

These items help transform the artwork into something people can own, wear, and engage with beyond the gallery.

#### ️ Exhibition & Setup

Building toward Pop Con YXE 2026 and future gallery opportunities:

* Booth setup, display structures, and signage

* Print displays and mounting systems

* Transportation and handling of artwork

* Materials needed to present the work professionally in a physical space

### Why This Matters

This isn’t just about making art — it’s about building a body of work, documenting the journey, and creating a bridge between digital content and real-world exhibition.

Every contribution helps push this from concept → creation → public experience.

If you want, I can tighten or “punch this up” into a more emotionally-driven version (less structured, more persuasive), or tailor it specifically to match your tone across socials.
