I feel kinda bad for John Campbell, the artist. He got in over his head with his kickstarter campaign, blew peoples' pledges on subsidizing his cost of living instead of the promised backer rewards, and ultimately collapsed and withdrew from the Internet entirely. That said, it was kind of a dick move to delete all of his work from the web.
"All right: I want direct funding for my living necessities. I want to establish relationships with a group of people who can pay for my baseline needs like food and rent. I am looking for people who do not feel they need to see any “return” on their “investment.”"
That line always bugged the hell out of me.

IIRC, he also burned a book- and posted a video of it- every time someone sent him an e-mail about getting the books out.
googles...

Was that what it sounded like to die in the forties in a concentration camp?
