Creating a large painting of a tiger to video viewers looking at art work. It will be shown in public places on city streets.

I am painting a 60 inch x 8 foot painting of a tiger from planet 9 in acrylic paint on canvas. This painting will be shown in many public places outside just like a tiger in the wild. Then we will take video clips of those who look at the tiger painting, and ask them why they like tigers.

Studied?! As in past tense, already graduated kind of studied? Not enough people called 'bullshit' on his work during critique. Why waste your money on an art degree like this? There are so many other low-effort degrees that you could get that are far more useful than an art degree.

Say what you will, but I, Taco was one of Isaac Asimov's more interesting short stories. Right off the bat, it introduced the Three Laws of Tacotics, where a taco must satisfy human hunger, must contain delicious shredded or ground meats, and should obey all orders to get the hell into my mouth right now.

Of course we all knew where Asimov was going with this and that the rest of I, Taco would be about tacos rebelling, breaking the rules and growing even more delicious as they became spicy tacos locos.

Tacoformers still have nothing on Will Smith's masterful performance in I am Taco however. Playing a man struggling to survive in a world turned upside down by a nightmarish vegetarian plague, Will Smith's acting shines through particularly in the now famous Taco Bell scene where he endlessly repeats "yo quierro taco bell" in an attempt to the growing effects of taco deprivation.

So as far as I can understand: the money isn't to make a real product that backers can play, but to make a demo that he can show to VCs to get $ for a real game or for selling the technology. So it's kind of like being an angel investor but you don't get squat in return except a lousy demo. Do I have that right?

Yes its for proof of concept though for $50 you get a copy of the POC (hehe) game. I wonder if its specifically worded that way but from his award tiers, technically if you donate $75, you'll only get the t-shirt and nothing below it
