Okay, friends—after being thwarted by GoFundMe (boo), I'm simplifying and trying again!

Long story, long... I need your help. My computer is in the shop, and I'm building an exciting independent digital art business to create, sell, and showcase mixed-media interdisciplinary works and I could use your support!

Breakdown-

As some of you are aware, I've been working on an underground watering hole for all things futurist and digital for some time now. I'm grateful for those of you who have joined me on this journey, and I'm excited to share with you the fruits of my labor! However, I have reached an impasse. Among other things, on Christmas Eve, the hard drive in my computer blew.

I thought I would have to start from scratch, with multiple failed attempts from different software specialists, but I eventually found the people at Drive Savers who can recover the contents—for $3400.

This is a serious setback, but my computer is essential for me to continue building.

In addition to fixing my machine, your donation will enable me to maintain and moderate a nexus for underground art, news, and how-tos. It will be a digital art museum and a playground for music, video, VFX, 3D, motion graphics, film, live performances (theater and dance), and more.

The last couple years of the pandemic have grown increasingly stressful, and as the job market has tightened and bills have heightened, maintaining a new business as an actor and freelance artist living in New York has been one hell of an uphill climb.

So, I need your help. I'm still kicking, and I'm kicking hard. But I believe that with your extra push, I'll be able to dolphin kick myself past these waves of friction to pull you into my world—a world in which I will bring you cutting-edge digital content, heart-wrenching live performances and concerts, motivational live streams, well-paced tutorials, dope music, boomin' beats, and community-building movie and game nights.

I would be incredibly grateful and humbled if you would be kind enough to donate toward fixing my computer and charging up my startup!

Your contribution will go towards:

• Recovering the data on my hard drive and fixing my machine: $3400
• Cloud Rendering, AV Editing Programs, AI iteration and experimentation, Sample Clearance, and more fully supported software and services: $1500
• 2 lav mic's and one additional Studio Mic for live recordings: $1500
• Rokoko Suit for enhanced motion capture and animation: $3000
• New camera with Lidar sensor and Depth Projection for enhanced video: $5200
• NAS backup drive (so this never happens again): $2000
• RTX 4090 GPU for better and faster delivery of goods and services: $3000
• 2 - 4 VR headsets for project iteration, experimentation, immersion, and deployment: $4000
• Maintenance of fully operational underground music, virtual production, recording, and mixed-media studio: $20,000
• and more!

Your generosity will fix my machine and grow an independent black-owned art business started by your friendly everyday Wabbit. A heartfelt thank you.

***In trying to think of what to say, it was difficult to silence the noise and stress in my mind. Always in a battle with myself and never a fan of direct address, the video is one example of my mixed-media work (typography, 3D modeling, texturing, video editing, animation, lighting, virtual cinematography, masking, rotoscoping, and more) Oh, and I'm West Indian, so, with all the colors, haha. I hope you enjoy.

****all original.
