To support the project and to help promote it, Joe decided to use crowd funding to give people the chance to buy the artwork that was created on the trip. Rewards for backing the trip included paintings on beermats, sketches and postcards. The funding successfully reaching 100% of the target in 24 hours and by the end had raised 400% of what was aimed for.
