You will have your books February 2012. www.bicycleportraits.co.za/kickstarter http://vimeo.com/31836792 http://bicycleportraits.org/img/bicycle_inside_2.jpg We are very fortunate to be in a collaboration with artist Gabrielle Raaff who painting watercolor maps for each of the portraits! The maps are not to show the location of the person as much at it is to give a feeling of the surroundings. http://bicycleportraits.org/img/map_ex4.jpg http://bicycleportraits.org/img/map_ex8.jpg http://bicycleportraits.org/img/many_maps.jpg There are also other rewards up for grabs: The $250 reward inlcudes a unique 8' x 10' signed BICYCLE PORTRAITS portrait-with-map print.
