Kurt Halsey's Fandom

I've posted some Kurt stuff for sale previously but got no bites. At this point I'm more interested in the reduced clutter around the apartment than in recouping any money, so I'm going to mail what I've got to whoever wants it. I'm trying to move this stuff ASAP. Thanks everyone!

EDIT: Wow, you guys are quick! I have more than enough responses! I will respond to everyone who's emailed or commented so far. I don't think I have enough stuff to send to each person, but thanks for your interest!

This was only up for today -- snagged it this evening.  It just rang true.

( my story and pics... )

I hope this is allowed.

About six years ago a boy liked me. He liked me so much that he knew how to win my heart over: with Kurt Halsey. But he was a little tight on money. So what did he do?

He replicated a Kurt Halsey painting for me. Mind you, it was his favorite painting and not mine so for the last six years I've been lugging this piece with me from Texas to Ohio and everything in between. But I've never been able to make it work.



It's been collecting dust to say the least. But because I'm moving this May and can only take what fits in my tiny car, I really need to get rid of some stuff. This painting included. Maybe someone else can give it a home?

I'm not interested in making a profit out of it (the work is copyrighted after all). But I really don't want to throw this out to the trash. Maybe someone out there would like to have it? All I ask is that you pay for shipping and handling. Let me know! :)

So I was browsing the website of one of my favourite vegan cookbook authors when I stumbled onto this post and thought I'd share the news. :)

What is this crazy collab-o I speak of? Vegan Food Gifts: Spread the Vegan Love DIY-Style with 100 Inspired Recipes for Homemade Edible Gifts, Baked Goods, Preserves, and More Written by Joni Marie Newman with photos by Celine Steen and illustrations by Kurt Halsey. A vegan triple threat of epic DIY proportions, if you ask me.

If you click on the link there's a recipe for Gin. I'm definitely excited for this! :)

It's already available for pre-order here!

Anyone know the around and about selling price of the following prints?

The pop and the flash (128/150)
Honesty and forgiveness (146/150)
Neurotic love (52/150)

Anyone going to Kurt's show opening next Friday? I'm thinking about making the 8 hour drive, and hoping Kurt will be there. I emailed him and got no response : (

Does anyone know if Kurt has ever done a hedgehog?

Thx <3

Hello, haven't been on lj in a while, but got a KH tattoo & am thinking of getting another on either my back or left forearm, and I want it to be one of the little phrases he's hand-written. Wondering if anyone has any suggestions!

Here's a picture of the tat I already have:

Since there have been a few of us asking and we don't need "where are my items?" posts cluttering up our friends page or this community, I am making this post. All new posts that are made concerning missing items will not be approved.

If you are waiting for anything from Kurt (or art star for that matter) post it here in the comments. Please keep your comments as detailed as possible - include when you purchased it, from who (artstar, etsy, Kurt directly, etc), how much it cost, the name, and a picture so that if it is an open/limited edition and others purchased it as well can try to "track" when theirs will come based on it others have received theirs. Please also leave your contact info so if Kurt does look over the list he knows who you are and how to get in contact with you.

If you have received what you have bought please comment below your comment that it was received, on which date, and which country you are in.

I know Kurt sent out a lot of items and I just want a new updated list to show if there are still items expected that are missing.

Does anyone know the details of Kurt's show? I know he has mentioned this will be his last show. I really want to be there, and especially the day he is there in person. Anyone else going?

I know there's been lots of issues with receiving stuff in the mail...however I just wanted to share my new drawing that arrived Saturday 11/19/11.  I purchased it on 10/11/11, that's not too bad :)

Anyway, I love it and it was worth the wait.  It definitely fits my life and all the different directions it's going in at the moment-all positive though!  I hope everyone else receives what they've been waiting for as well.

We made all the sales before Sunday, so we have raffle prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places!

The 1ST prize is the Original "Our Kingdom" drawing:


And the lucky 1ST place winner is bad_idea_bear !!! Congrats!!!

The 2ND prize is the unframed drawing "Within You":


And the lucky 2ND place winner is freezinginfire !!! Congrats!!!

The 3RD prize is a $30 Kurt merchandise package.

And the lucky 3RD place winner is resolutions !!! Congrats!!!

I'm going to be mailing off the packages sometime next week. There was talk about swapping first and second place prizes if both winners agreed to it, so if you guys want to trade, talk it out in the comments and let me know before I ship them please!!

Congrats again! And thanks to all the people who participated!! I'd love to hear your thoughts on raffles like this for the future. Did you like it, did you not enjoy it? What would you do to improve it?

Oh, and to prove I did not rig this or anything, screen caps of the winners (who matched up to the order they purchased tickets in the raffle post, here.

Just a reminder that the raffle for the Our Kingdom original is still going on. So far there are only 2 weeks and 16 0 tickets left!!!

Since I really do not want to have to refund the tickets, I'm going to try to sell the remaining 16 tickets with some incentives. If all 16 tickets can sell out by this Sunday the 13th at noon EST I will add in a second and third price in the raffle.

Second place will be the original sketch "Within You" unframed which sold for $40:


Third place will be a $30 Kurt merchandise prize. I will put together a package with various Kurt items in it. They will include any of the stationary, postcards, mini print runs, goodies from his exhibits, buttons, post it notes, etc.

If this does excite you and we can somehow sell out by Thursday the 10th at Midnight EST time, I will add in a fourth and fifth prize as well.

Fourth prize will be a $20 Kurt merchandise prize. I will put together a package with various Kurt items in it. They will include any of the stationary, postcards, mini print runs, goodies from his exhibits, buttons, post it notes, etc.

Fifth prize will be a $10 Kurt merchandise prize. I will put together a package with various Kurt items in it. They will include any of the stationary, postcards, mini print runs, goodies from his exhibits, buttons, post it notes, etc.

In doing this if all 35 tickets sell by Thursday, you will have a 1 in 7 chances of getting a prize if you only purchase one ticket, and more of a chance if you purchase multiples. I hope this really gets sales going, and remember you can purchase your tickets over here.

Thanks!


EDIT: We did not sell out by Thursday Midnight, so no more 4th and 5th prizes. We still could sell out by Sunday as there are only two tickets left.

The raffle of Kurt Halsey's original drawing Our Kingdom that has been going on has changed. Unfortunately not enough tickets were spoken for so we couldn't manage to raffle it at $3.50 a piece for 100 tickets. Because there is still interest in this being raffled off we have come to a different solution. We will be raffling off 35 tickets at $10 a piece instead.

Most of the details are still the same as in the previous post. The only things that are changing are the following:

- You can buy your tickets via the paypal button below. There is no limit to how many you can buy however each user can buy a maximum of 5 per transaction.
- I will keep you updated below the cut of who has purchase which tickets.
- When all 35 tickets are sold out, the paypal button won't allow anyone to buy anymore.
- When all tickets are sold I will hold the raffle. If all 35 don't sell within a 3 weeks I will, unfortunately, have to refund everyone and call off the raffle.

In case you forgot ;) :


Thank you all, and good luck!!

( ALL RAFFLE TICKETS SOLD!!! 35 Raffle tickets purchased so far: )

It's time for our community raffle of the Original Our Kingdom!

Ever want to own an original Kurt Halsey piece but couldn't afford it? Now is your chance to get one for $3.50!


( bigger picture below )
This piece is in my hands and just gorgeous, so it's time to raffle it off to give it a good home!

For this raffle we will raffle off 100 tickets so everyone will get a good chance to get this at a GREAT price! Each ticket will cost $3.50 to cover the cost of the original ($250), insurance, paypal fees, and worldwide shipping.

This is how it will work:
- There will only be 100 raffle tickets sold.
- Each person is ONLY allowed to buy 1 ticket for the first 4 days that this raffle is up. This will be to make sure that everyone has a fair chance to win and no one comes in and buys 50 of the tickets at once. On 8pm EST time on Wednesday the 19th if there are any remaining tickets, the remaining tickets will be sold to anyone, at any amount, until they are all paid for.
- The raffle will end and the drawing will be held at 8:30pm EST time Saturday October the 29th, or sooner if tickets are sold out sooner.
- To buy a ticket, comment below with your paypal email address and I will invoice you $3.50 for the cost of one ticket. Please pay within FOUR days of being invoiced. If there are any left overs after the deadline and you want more, please comment with your paypal email again, and how many extra tickets you want.

Fine Print:
- PLEASE ONLY PAY A PAYPAL INVOICE FROM INSTRUMENTOFJOY at gmail dot com. I hope no one else will try to invoice you (but covering my bases), but only that email is my paypal email, no one elses.
- If you do not pay for your ticket within FOUR days, your ticket will be offered up to anyone else who wants it.
- If the winner is within USA the extra funds will go towards the shipping of the next raffle item or the community photobucket.
- I have only allotted $50 for shipping and insurance. If you live in a country where it will cost more than $50 to have this shipped insured to you for $250 the winner will be responsible for covering extra shipping. If the winner doesn't pay for that extra shipping within 30 days, we will hold the raffle for the remaining ticket holders, excluding the winner who couldn't pay additional shipping. (I doubt it will get to this point but I am covering my bases again just in case).
- Insurance is mandatory! If something happens to the package (breaks, stolen, never arrives) than we will give the winner the insurance money instead.
- To make this fair I am NOT participating in this raffle, so ANYONE else can participate in it. I will keep a list on here assigning a ticket number to you in the order you purchased. I will use random.org to generate a winning number. There is no favorites in this, just pure luck.
- If 100 tickets are not purchased I will not be raffling off this original. At this point in time I can not afford to lose money so I have to break even in the amount I paid for it. If 100 tickets are not bought by 8pm EST Saturday the 29th, I will refund everyone their raffle ticket price and cancel this raffle.


Thank you all, and good luck!!

EDIT: I have received a very underwhelming response to this raffle so I am only going to invoice people after people have stated that they want 75 tickets. No use in invoicing a bunch now and having to refund 50+ people because they don't all sell. I am also going to allow anyone to buy as many tickets as they want now.

Hopefully this way we can start knowing when to expect our delayed and missing items. :)

On June 14th, I ordered the Photographs and Afternoons framed print. I hurriedly emailed Kurt asking if he could frame it in black instead of the white, and if not, to just send it unframed so that I could frame it myself and not waste a frame. He said he would see what he could do. July 18th, I noticed he tweeted that the prints were shipped on the 6th of July, but I hadn't gotten mine, so I emailed to inquire. He let me know that the frame was being special ordered and should be done later in the week. Then I heard nothing back, so on August 11, I replied again and said that if he's unable to get the special ordered frame, that I am definitely fine with just a print, or unframed, either way was fine with me. That I felt like I was waiting an awful long time, but I understood he was going way above and beyond. I got a reply on the 16th saying it was in the mail for me, and I should look for it at the end of the week. Since that point, I've emailed 3 separate times asking for tracking info, or if he managed to get it back, or maybe didn't make it to the post office after all (I saw the post about a foster kitten having issues), and all have gone with no response. I am at a loss as to what to do. Paypal can't help me get my money back because it's been over 30 days, and honestly, I just wanted the print more than the money anyhow. Has this happened to anyone else? I've had to stop myself from buying anything else directly from Kurt for fear of my money just vanishing, and it's honestly kind of heartbreaking to watch pieces go that I would really have liked to have. What can I do in this case? Emailing him over and over isn't working... :/

2 New Originals available!
