DavidromoBLOS ANGELES, CA, (NOVERMBER 21, 2013) — David El Romo, a metal Sculptor from Chino Valley, Arizona has launched his Indiegogo crowd funding campaign to funding his new art book, Art Repurposed: Malleable Mutable Metal in Motion and the campaign is off to a great start!

Art Repurposed: Malleable Mutable Metal in Motion is a beautiful hard-cover, 208-page, full-color book containing David’s sculptures.

“For many years, I’ve counseled at-risk children, most of whom have been unable to put into words their suffering. However, when given paint and a brush, they have created poignant narratives of fear, loneliness, feelings of abandonment, and longing for care and love. From these children, I’ve learned the real power art holds. Through seeing their pain eloquently expressed in pictures, I’ve come to be an artist.” – David El Romo.

What sets this crowd funding campaign apart is that individuals can raise funds to publish their projects and potentially involve thousands of people through the crowd funding process.  Those who contribute virtually pre-order their book and help David complete his project quickly so it can be published in weeks and months, not years. David’s book is currently scheduled for publication at the end of October.

“So much of what ails the world is the disease of addiction. Don’t talk, feel or trust; this is the recipe for addiction. Making art is key.   I know what “art” did for me and saw the power to help others…. Help me help others. Proceeds from this book will allow me to fund our children-at-risk art programs.”

100% of the proceeds from the sale of Art Repurposed: Malleable Mutable Metal in Motion will go toward funding workshops and purchasing supplies to continue David’s outreach to at-risk children.

For donations to the Indiegogo campaign and the publishing of Art Repurposed: Malleable Mutable Metal in Motion, David is offering an array of incentives: From a sincere thank you on a signed postcard of a piece of his sculpture, to an original piece of sculpture.

You have the power to join David in the publishing of Art Repurposed: Malleable Mutable Metal in Motion to provide funding for art programs for children at risk!
