About
I'm a spoken word artist/terrible basketball player. Always looking for ways to collaborate with other artists across different mediums. Never looking for people to school me in basketball.

Hi everyone,
first off thank you for even visiting this page. I understand that not everyone is in a position to financially support the artists they love... if that's the case, no sweat. I still really appreciate your support in every other way. Whether that's you spreading the word, sharing a link, or even just blasting poetry at a stop sign through your open car window (which is so literary gangster by the way)... it all helps and is very much appreciated.
I'm guessing that a lot of you know me because of other work I've done, To This Day, Troll, Heaven or Whatever, Shoulders, and the like. I get asked a lot to make more videos or record more pieces or re-record pieces to make them classroom friendly. Believe me when I tell you that there's almost nothing else I want to be doing, but you guessed it... it's costly. I work with a lot of amazing people and am always trying to expand my collaborative horizons, but we're all limited in how much of our time we can donate. As much as I'd like to be paid for what I do I would also really like to pay the people who help me do it. Yes, I write the poems, but there's a lot of other magic that goes into the videos, music, and illustrations. When I say magic I mean really hard work done by monstrously talented individuals whom I love.
So why should you pledge? So we can keep doing it. There's a ton of projects I'd like to get off from the drafting board and into actual production, but i need your help to do it.
Here's a short list of things I'd like to do with your support:
Podcast
Videos
Audio Recordings
Short Films
Web Series
Graphic Novel
Children's Book
Feature Film
Documentary
Animations
Illustrated Poems
I think the "per thing" method makes more sense than the monthly path. Some projects will just take longer than others so it will help keep the pressure off and insure the quality of each creation. Sometimes you can end up cutting corners if you're trying to reach a deadline... this just makes sure that I won't have to do that.
I thank you again for any and all of your support in its many forms. Now let's make art.
Yours,
Shane
