About Me
April 30, 2008
My name is Brian Giacoppo. I'm originally from Phoenix, AZ. I graduated in 2004 from Shadow Mountain High School.
I attended the University of Arizona for 2 years and majored in Fine Art.
I'm now a student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco majoring in 3D Computer Modeling.
I have a 3.5 GPA and will be graduating with a BFA in 2 years.
I also have a website called Wear a Hero and sell T-Shirts that I design.
Why I'm Doing This
The cost of tuition, supplies, and fees at AAU is HIGH (and going up again next semester!).
The cost of private student loans is HIGH (my school does not give scholarships or any kind of grant).
The cost of living in downtown San Francisco is REALLY HIGH (not much more to add to that).
At the rate everything is going I will graduate with about 100K of student loan debt. Right now I have about 40K with lots of interest.
By selling Photo Blocks on the wall, I hope to offset some of the crazy costs of trying to get a good education.
What else?
I will be promoting this site heavily through search engines, word of mouth, and press releases to gain exposure for my cause and yours.
I will use 10% of what I earn to help other art students at my school buy supplies.
I use Paypal to accept payment because they take every credit card known to man as well as checks. It's secure and easy and you don't need a Paypal account to use it. If you want to pay a different way contact me.
If you have any questions, contact me.
Thank you!
