Help fund Sam's painting project

I am a visual artist living in south Florida seeking funding to complete a painting project. I have been  working on a series of paintings inspired by frames from an animation that I created several years ago.  I would like to make 3 to 5 large scale paintings based on this theme over the summer.
I work as an adjunct art professor and I'm under-employed during the summer months so I would use the funds to pay my studio rent and buy supplies to continue working on this series of paintings.  These funds would buy me the time to focus on completing this body of work.
You may ask yourself why help an artist complete their work? The truth is you are not just helping the induvidual artist you are helping support the arts in general.
No amount is too small.  All donations will be appreaciated.  The first 20 people to donate at least $100.00 will recieve a signed print from my animation series.
You can see some of my drawings and paintings on my Facebook page.
