A Video Appreciation for Funding our Fridge

I made this video to shout out my thanks for all who have been pledging to make The Fridge of the Damned a reality. As of this post, there are two weeks left to pledge and we're 76% of the way toward funding the manufacturing of the magnet sets.

Please pledge or spread the word by sharing this video or the link to our page on kickstarter. Remember: the campaign ends on February 1st! ****

Found Bones and other Word Art/Poems

Inspired by the terrifc response we're getting to the Fridge of the Damned magnetic word tile campaign, I'll be posting poems (made with real or virtual poetry magnets) and related "word art" to the project's Flickr set. Drop by and check them out from time to time. This set can also include your own poems written with The Fridge of the Damned in the mind, if you care to share. Just email photos to me and I'll post them. Remember: the kickstarter campaign ends February 1st, 2013. Act swiftly if you want to be a part of the action!
