As an artist who uses KS to fund printing collections of her comic, I've got to disagree. If you're going to be able come back to KS and do another project, you have to keep an eye on your expenses.

I mean, yes, it is wonderful that KS provides a way for people to come together and Make Art Happen. But art doesn't come out of nowhere; people have to pay their rent while making it, they like to eat too. In the long run Kickstarter can be an important component in transitioning from doing art part-time to doing it full-time. And that, my friend, is one hell of a passion project.
