Disabled Ron Paul Designer (needs help, will trade services for hospital table)

[Sublyminal]

Hello I have a friend who is a designer that does amazing art/web design work and is disabled with little income.

While working on Ron Paul designs he needs to stay bed ridden to keep his legs elevated because of a medical condition.

He recently had a mishap with the hospital bed table he uses that goes over his bed where his keyboard, mouse and monitor sit. The table essentially is broken and he needs a new one so he can continue to do design work.

He says if someone has some design work needed for some banners he would be willing to do them in trade for a new table here is a link to the table he would need:

http://www.amazon.com/Invacare-Over-Bed-Table/dp/B000QA0EHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1327826284&sr=8-1

Some of you guys from 2007 may remember he sketched this back then which has been reused many times in peoples designs over the years:

He also helps me out volunteering his time doing design work on the latest NOBP Moneybomb and Ron Paul Country websites and in 2007 we worked on Ron Paul Nation and FreeMe.TV.

If someone here is looking to have some banners done or can donate to buy the above table from amazon and ship it to my friend I would greatly appreciate it so he can continue working to help promote Ron Paul.


Thanks.


edit:

Here is the chip in page in case anyone would rather make a small donation instead of trading for banner work to be done, so that my friend can get the hospital table and continue to promote Ron Paul.

The money being donated through the chip in would be sent directly to his paypal account so he can order it through amazon. Thanks.

When the FED ends and we start printing new bills, I nominate this portrait of RP to be on the new $100.

I know you already hit your goal but I kicked in $10 more. Hope it helps.

+ rep, thanks Brandon!

Put that drawing on a T-Shirt. I'd buy it. Or sell a large print.

Apparently the money has been raised? I was expecting this to be quite a bit more expensive. Anyway, if needed I'll just buy it for him and have it shipped for free 2-day as I'm a prime member. Also, I'm interested in his designs as a potential employer for ongoing work. Please send URL. Gracias.

He needs to get a zazzle and cafe press account and start selling his work.

I hope he gets his table and I also hope he will put his designs on T-shirts

Hi, thanks to the people here on forums enough was raised in a matter of hours so that he could buy the table!

He actually does have some stuff on cafepress but hasn't been advertising it as much as he did in 2007, here are some links:

Looks like you got enough for the table? If not I'll kick in. I'd LOVE his sketch on a hoodie

Yea I just got off the phone with him, he was able to order the table off of amazon, from everyone chipping in to help out and looks like with the extra $20 some people chipped in he'll be able to get a new keyboard too. The keyboard he had the spacebar was falling off and some of his keys sometimes didn't work, so him getting a new one will be awesome.

Here is a link to the hoodie although not sure if that is the design you want on hoodie if you are looking for another design with the sketch let me know and I can let him know to make one, once he gets the table which should be in a couple days.

Yea the money has already been raised for the table, it doesn't cost that much to get a new one he just really doesn't have an income right now to cover a lot of the essentials beyond just living expenses.

Oh also if you are looking for a programmer for future paid work hit me up, I'm currently unemployed too looking for a job right now. Have 15+ years of web development exp. have worked with everything from startups to fortune 50 companies, currently volunteering on Ron Paul Country and the new NOBP Moneybomb.

And if anyone is interested in chipping in for the RPC project, Denis "D.A.S." on RPF has been working on raising funds so we can devote 100% of time on RPC full time going forward for the next couple of months to help build out the system with new features to network volunteers and events and potentially have the site grow to support Liberty minded candidates directly with their campaigns across the country. Here is the chipin link for that one if anyone is looking for a grassroots project to help out with:

Links posted above if you are looking for a specific design with the sketch let me know and I'll let my friend know to make it once the table comes in.

Oh here is a section of the prints some may have 2008 on it I know the dark brown one I think is year neutral.

Thank You!

My friend wanted to make sure I let everyone that helped to donate for the hospital table a huge THANK YOU!

I also wanted to thank you as well, this will help him personally, but also help him continue to work with me in promoting Ron Paul through his web design work.

Thanks again all.

I'd order multiple hoodies to give out. I'm sure some others here would like one as well. Maybe start a new thread for pre-orders or something? Bulk is usually cheaper, right? (I'm speaking of ones with his sketch, not the above). I have a friend who owns a screenprinting shop, so maybe he can get me the artwork and I can head it up? Whatever you both decide.

Yea I know the problem with Cafepress is designers barely make any money off the products with the designs they put up like a couple dollars at most of each item. I'll talk with my friend about getting in touch with a local print shop if there is enough demand, the problem with going that route is then he would have to pay up front for the items and go through the process of having them delivered. I will talk with him though if there is enough demand for them.

I heart liberty folk... I actually have a hosp. table he can have if we can figure a way to get it there. It's an old cast iron beast tho.. maybe good for a backup

 

[HankXavier]

Oh and what languages do you program in orenbus ?

 

[orenbus]

I'll help defray the cost.

Wow that would be awesome! Yea let me let my friend know, will talk with him in a couple hours. I'll PM probably later tonight.

You name and I've probably coded in it over the past 15 years, or can easily adapt to become proficient quickly.
