Molly Crabapple is a visual artist whose 28th birthday is quickly approaching. To celebrate the occasion, she has decided to forgo the standard birthday cake with friends and has instead opted to lock herself in a room for five days. For five days, Molly Crabapple will push herself to cover every square-inch of wall space with her unique drawings.
Molly Crabapple is interested in seeing what happens when an artist has pushed past his or her breaking. Molly launched the project on Kickstarter and has accumulated about three times as much money as she was asking for. The popularity of this project may be the voyeur element. Molly Crabapple is offering donors the opportunity to watch the entire live over the Internet.
