2014 HSF POSTERIf you are in the New York area and want to check out our art in person you may!!! Good times!

Where exactly, Hester Street Fair, located in the heart of the Lower East Side and housed on the historic grounds of New York City’s largest pushcart market at the turn of the century, the Hester Street Fair pays homage to those roots by bringing together a collection of NYC’s best vendors in a bustling outdoor marketplace.  They curate the finest artisanal food, vintage clothing, jewelry, crafts, home goods and much more.  ​

Corner of Hester and Essex, take the F J M Z to Delancey F to East Broadway!

See you there.

That is correct! We have literally HOURS to go and need to raise $800. We are on the 99th backer. Who will be our magic 100? Basically, we need 33 people to buy us a $25 NYC cocktail or our 99 backers to increase their pledge by $10. We will take either! :]

Here are three reasons why Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover needs YOU and you need US:

1. We make people feel good.

Our art speaks to people, and grand people listen. When you can speak through your art, that makes it worth all the struggle.

2. You will be happy to have a little piece of you with us all the time! When you support, contribute, help, pitch in, donate, share, join…whatever you want to call it, that means that a little piece of your hard work went into making magic happen. Thank you and you’re welcome.

3. We are JUMPING with our EYES closed!

This is happening, no matter the circumstances, no matter the sacrifices, no matter what!

…and we’re cute.  No, but really only 20ish hours left to go. Let’s do this!

Much love,

Mushpa y Mensa

3 Days Left

First off, Happy Memorial Day weekend. It is officially, unofficially the beginning of Summer! This is Mushpa y Mensa’s season of organic cotton, original design, hand-made t-shirt glory! You need a new organic tank top for the season? We’ve got it! We will be in Astoria at the Astoria Flea and Food @Kaufman Astoria Studios (click here for more information) today from 10AM-6PM. Come see us and check out Maya, our box truck in person! We will even have the diorama with us. I know…exciting!

Maya Box Truck

Alright people let’s get to it! We have hit the final 3 days of our Kickstarter project, Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover! We are 81% funded at $5,971, but our goal is $7,300 in less than 3 days. That is $1,329 we need to raise in a very short amount of time. We can do it, but we need the help of family, friends and strangers. Go check out Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover and see how we will take this blank canvass of a box truck and transform it into mobile street art. Be a part of something you can brag that you brought into fruition! That alone is worth it. ;]

Much love,

– Mushpa

Mushpa y Mensa EssentialsIt is the final week of Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover and we are 72% funded. We need your help in these last few days to get that other 28%. As you may or may not know, if we do not reach 100% we receive 0%. That cannot happen.

For those unaware of what Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover is all about, click here, https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mushpamensa/mushpa-y-mensas-magical-motor-machine-makeover to learn more. It is worth it, cool drawings, awesome 3 minute video, super interesting plan! To sum it up rather nicely, it is about, “Two Brooklyn girls, their art, and their hope to fit it all into a box truck!”. The essentials photo above is our artist’s rendering of what we actually need to make that happen. If you would like to see the actual list of everything we need and how we got to the $7,300 amount you may click here.

I wish I had more time to get into all the juicy details, but I must go finish fundraising the world! :] Soon we will be able to come to you. Isn’t that cool? So check it out and show some love via pledging if you so choose. In addition to your pledge, feel free to post the link on Facebook… Tweet… Insta… Pin… Tumblr… etc… Spread the love! :] https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/mushpamensa/mushpa-y-mensas-magical-motor-machine-makeover

MyM Kickstarter

Mushpa y Mensa does have a Kickstarter project, Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover!  Thank you for asking. ;-]

In fact, Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover is now more than 50% funded thanks to all that have pledge so far! That is super awesome! Also, we want to give thanks to all that have promoted us through social media, emails, word of mouth and the like. Speaking of, Generation (WH)Y? just wrote a piece on two ongoing Kickstarter projects, one being ours, entitled, Two Cool Kickstarter Campaigns In New York City. It is a great read so read it! :]

My friends, we have 47% to go in 16 days, meaning:

If 135 people give $25 to  Mushpa y Mensa’s Magical Motor Machine Makeover we’re done. That’s 1 drink in NYC! Love us like you love to drink! http://kck.st/1lcBtmi

Please excuse the shameless promotion, but we need to get this done to move on to the next part, so we are able to come see all of you in our Magical Motor Machine full of our magical wares!

Thank you for your time. :]
