I received this from Jason at Floating World Comics and thought it be best to spread the word here with you wondrous peoples:
Hello,
We are two weeks away from celebrating our one year anniversary. We
are excited to be having Jim Stoten arrive here next week, traveling
all the way from the U.K to become our eleventh resident to Islands
Fold. By next month we will have published fifteen titles, and put on
four art shows. We feel that it has been a great year and we are very
happy with all the support we have received.
For those who don't know, we operate Islands Fold out of a rented
home on Pender Island, B.C. Islands Fold is an artist residency that
is offered free of charge. We collaborate, make art , and enjoy tasty
nutritious meals. This home offers a large studio, guest room, and
private setting that allows us to accommodate artists. We feel very
fortunate to have come upon this house two years ago, when the vision
first started to unfold.
We are sending out this letter because we have just received news
that has thrown us a curve ball. The owners of the house that we rent
are putting it up for sale. In an ideal setting, we would love to be
able to purchase this home, but that is not a reality for us. This
letter is an effort to ask people to spread the word of our situation
in hopes of financing this house for Islands Fold. We are looking for
serious people, investors and/or organizations who recognize that
this is a cause worth supporting. A cause that needs a venue to fuel
the art community that is being created. We ask for your support in
helping us get this information to the right people.
Thank-you so much, and please feel free to post this info on
websites and blogs. With the successful response this past year, the
vision for Islands Fold is growing every day. We will continue to
operate the residency and publish books wherever we may be.

For the record, living on pender island (or any of the gulf islands) would be am-f'ing-azing.

I think I deserve the free house on an island around Portland just a LITTLE bit more than you, think about it.
