I have started a Kickstarter account to try and raise $$ by donations for paying our rent while away. Pray we get selected by travel volunteer.

Below is information on my Kickstarter proposal and here is the  link for The Travel Volunteer for Japan Project at: http://travelvolunteer.net/

Funding Goal

$5,000 – $10,000

Project Description

Hello, I have applied for “Travel Volunteer for Japan”. Due to the terrible earthquake in April much of the worlds public thinks that Japan as a whole was devastated. Not True. But because of this misconception, Japanese tourism has suffered terribly.
As part of the “Travel Volunteer for Japan” program they will be paying my travel expense as long as I blog, write and publish my experiences traveling form North to South. What I am in need of is funds to pay my rent and utilities here in the USA while I am away for 100 days in Japan. Along with some limited living expenses while traveling.

This is an experience of a life time I am sure you agree. I will be writing about, drawing and photographing every part of the trip.
Please help.

$1-20 will gain access to a private blog website for photos and reports not seen by the non-paying public.

Here is another render (using as a base scene Secluded Pond) is “Bass Pond” not as much render time with this image but a lot more use of Photoshop in post-work.
