The Chronocrator Project: Donate To help Gifted Los Angeles-based/Hive artist, Christopher Ulrich finish his final installment in a series of 3

Hive artist Christopher Ulrich needs help finishing his gift to the world "The Chronocrator Project". He is taking donations at this time on his Kickstarter page:http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/314319992 /the-chrono crator-project

"My name is Christopher Ulrich. I have done an alchemical journey through painting. The first series was called Demoneater and it represented "the black phase." I had my first one man show on November 2nd, 2007 at the Bergamot Station in which these works were featured. That set the process into motion. Two years later, after a lot of hard work, I began The Illuminator series which represents "the white phase." Those works were shown on my birthday August 6th, 2010 at The La Luz Jesus Gallery. I am now on the eve of completing this journey. The next and final series will be The Reckoning which represents "the red phase." I want to create 12 new paintings, one of which will be a large epic mural and it is scheduled to be shown on December 7th, 2012. I cu rrently need the funding of $12,000 to pay for these new surfaces and frames that I have designed and materials to execute them with. My hopes are to complete the Great Work. When I first began to fulfill this dream, I was not widely known. However during the process, I have gained a growing recognition which has been very encouraging. If I could generate the funds for the 3rd project and reward any contributions with my various gift supplements, I would consider it not only an honor but the Universe's blessing to see this thing through."
