Fly’s-Eye Guy Gets Pie in Sky

Congrats to M. Henry Jones: after launching a Kickstarter campaign to fund his trippy brand of 3D portraiture, the artist and animator reached his $11,000 goal yesterday. Among those who backed the project were East Village art-scene fixtures like Ann Magnuson and Amos Poe, plus (full disclosure) the author of this post. Meanwhile, over at Lucky Ant, the St. Mark’s Bookshop has secured a little over $5,000 of the $23,000 it hopes to raise for its relocation. (Full disclosure: The Local’s Stephen Rex Brown supported the store the old-fashioned way today, by going in and buying a book. “The Art of Fielding,” if you’re wondering.)
