My Crowdfunder on IndieGoGo has finished and the donations that came in equaled a little over 25% of my goal. A little disappointing but it's enough to move forward with getting a couple of plush and vinyl prototypes produced and a few silkscreens for t-shirts, which should help in the cost of producing t-shirts. Stay tuned for the latest developments. Just waiting for the funds to be deposited into my account so I can begin locking down a couple of manufacturers.

Twisted Teddys - Teddybears for Social Causes

Twisted Teddys Crowdfunding Video720

Hello Everyone, Just to let you know there's only three weeks left to join me in helping to create positive social change by donating to my IndieGoGo Crowdfunder. Help make my Christmas Wish come true. I am asking you to consider making a donation to my campaign so that together, with Twisted Teddys, we can help improve the lives of children, women and men by helping support charitable organizations that deal with homelessness, drug addiction, child abuse, gang abatement and many others through sales of my Twisted Teddys merchandise. Remember, 15% of sales is set aside and is donated at the end of the year. So, the more I am able to grow my product line and expand my market reach, the more funding these organizations will have. If you're more comfortable with using PayPal, make your donation at this site: https://www.facebook.com/donate/139737080243024. If using a credit card for your donation is not an issue, go to this site: https://igg.me/at/twistedteddys. And if you've already donated, thank you so much for your support. Best Wishes and have a Safe, Healthy and Happy Christmas/Holiday Season, Preston Founder Twisted Teddys

Well, I can finally say it. Wayne Brady, host of Let's Make A Deal, owns one of my Tagger Teddy prints. I received my check for $100 from the production company today. Up to this point I couldn't even say that Twisted Teddys was on the show; though technically I wasn't since I never got picked and remained in the audience. Looks great on a resume. https://igg.me/at/twistedteddys #socialcauses #millenials #fun #unique #naughty #twistedteddys

Just an update. My Twisted Teddys Crowdfunding Campaign launches in 5 days. I'll be posting the link soon. I hope you'll join me in my crowdfunding efforts.

Intersections Exhibit Video

A link to the video that was taken at the Korean Cultural Center for the exhibit "Intersections". Out of 200 artist submitting 500 entries, they chose 44 pieces from 23 artists. I had two pieces in the exhibit. See if you can find my teddys. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GguPk9Z2Rc&feature=youtu.be
