S1E01 – Let’s back some Art!

from Backers · host rumpfy

We're back, and this time we actually backed things! This is a discussion about the Backers' first assignment, to back a project from the Art category on Kickstarter. Brian and Chris grapple with the expectations they had before examining approximately 300 art campaigns and how that tracked with what they found once they dived in. We are introduced to the vibrant economy of enamel pins, naked money grabs, lost Michael Jackson heads, and an ode to Marcel Duchamp.

And Paul Fisher, a former straight-A student from the San Fernando Valley, rose to prominence amidst the turmoil.

The city was then embroiled in a “model war” between industry titans Eileen Ford and John Casablancas, and Paul tried to make his mark. But even as Paul thrived in the party-heavy culture of the time, burning cash like a furnace, he came face to face with the darkest forces in the industry. As his shady backers put the screws to him, Paul faced down deadly consequences, trying to make a star while saving his soul. Startup Builders & Backers Neil C.
