A NOTE FROM WINSTON:
Many, MANY thanks to ALL the people who have so generously donated to our GoFundMe campaign!
It looks like we’re closing in on our goal of $32,000. Once we hit our goal, we’re hoping this will be enough to cover bills and on-going expenses. But the most gratifying thing is to know how very many people care and are offering help.
Heart attacks don’t give you much warning. They just wait to clobber you while yer busy making Other plans.
So, we just wanted to up-date everyone on how close we are to our goal.
Thanks again to everyone for your kind concern and generous help. It makes me weak at the knees. And I’m powerful grateful to all of you.
Cheers! ~ Winston
How You Can Help:
Donate: Every dollar eases the stress of medical expenses and lets Winston focus on healing (and prepping for his rescheduled solo show).
Share: Even if you can’t give, spreading the word is huge.
Send Love: Winston’s overwhelmed by the texts, emails, and "carrier pigeon memos" (his humor’s intact, thankfully). A quick comment through our contact page will help brighten his day.
Why This Matters:
Winston’s art is his lifeline—and yours too, if you’ve ever been moved by his work. This fundraiser ensures that:
Medical bills don’t derail his recovery.
The rescheduled show happens without financial strain.
He feels the community’s support (which he calls "the best birthday gift ever").

Dear friends,
America has spoken and has now lost its voice. Regrettably, for a (very slight) majority of voters, and for those who didn’t vote “because all politicians are corrupt,” Freedom and Equality did not make the list. We are deeply saddened by this.
We at Studio Fallout will strive to maintain our own virtues of wisdom, courage, justice, and temperance. Studio Fallout is a safe space, both virtually and at our Studio in North Beach.
We don’t care what your background is or what bathroom you use. We love and support you. We will make every effort to grow every day, learn from our mistakes and to bring joy into the world at every opportunity. And we hope you can do the same.
Love,
Winston, Matthew and Chick
Studio Fallout
