"When our team launched a Kickstarter campaign we knew we needed unconventional help in internet promotion. That help came in the form of Christopher. As the leader of our 'street team', Christopher was tireless in his outside-the-box creative pursuit of greater web awareness. As an artist himself, he understands that passion is the fuel of the creative fire. We got record breaking funding due in part to Christopher's efforts. "
