Kickstarter Campaign I Could Use Some Help With

I recently started a Kickstarter Campaign to fund a 52 week art project: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/911994117/52-weeks-of-digital-art-from-found-objects.

I could use a little help promoting it. I do have a twitter account, but not many followers. I'm using #52weeks when tweeting the project.

I meant to post earlier, but got side-tracked by problems with my car followed by having to deal with my brother's medical issues. My brother's medical issues are part of the reason I'm doing this. I'm trying to find a way to make enough money to pay the bills while working from home. He's on dialysis and it's a good idea to have someone available when he goes in for treatments and he sometimes needs additional medical treatments. (Some of these he's not allowed to drive himself home from.)

Here's a link that works:

I've had a couple projects funded via Kickstarter... so a few tips if you start again seeing as you only have 18 days left... start with a lower goal or use a website like gofundme.com or indiegogo.com - unlike Kickstarter, you get what you get whether you reach a goal or not. Kickstarter is all or nothing.

You don't need to state your budget so specifically - the biggest chunk of your budget is for car repairs... Kickstarter folks don't tend to go for that. Thats more of a gofundme site type thing to appeal for. On Kickstarter, they like to see funds go directly to funding the project.

If you were printing an actual book you could appeal for publishing funds - backers like tangible items, something in their hands for the money they are putting in.

Good luck!

i don't get where some of the money goes - like a thrift store isn't abandoned, and you don't have to go far to find stuff people left behind. junk day in towns, stuff left in the woods - all free. and at $10,000 you give the images away, and kind of defeats the program right? the item your selling?
