Kickstarter "Acquerell III" book from Alina Chau -- UPDATED with link for book launch June 20 at Center Stage Gallery

Even though I'm an old-school dinosaur who likes brick and mortar stores with actual books in them, and I often vent about the ravages of Amazon on the lives of small businesses... I have to appreciate how the internet has allowed all sorts of new ways for indie artists to get their work produced and distributed.

This posts celebrates the watercolor book project from Alina Chau. http://alinachau.com/

It's so heartwarming to be able to send a little financial support directly to an artist and help make a dream project come true. Even better when you get the book and extras delivered (prints and stickers)

Some of my favorite images from the book...

 The book includes some "in progress" images...

 A section of travel sketches...

 And a final series of pages with details of her process...
 
Bonus image here is details from Alina Chau original bonus item I was also lucky to win.

Kickstarter artists come up with so many clever awards at various levels of pledging. Lots of room for donations large and small.....
