Comics By Request: People, Places In Need Of Funding
By Tom Spurgeon
* the Hero Initiative is about to start one of their cover-art auctions,
this time with an X-Men theme. A lot of fun artists are represented, like John Cassaday.
* here are two crowd-funders that crushed it immediately, and have a few weeks to pile on with the rewards an incentives and stretch goals:
Erika Moen and
Molly Ostertag.
* it was Stan Sakai's birthday yesterday, a fine time to be reminded about
the ongoing auction and
the direct-pay option to help out this pro's pro in a period of discombobulation brought on by a health crisis suffered within the family. You will not spend better money all year. If you're super-rich and stuck in terms of how to spend that money in Sakai's direction, someone's selling
an original Opper.
*
winding down on the Cerebus related one. I'm still not sure I all the way understand it, but it looks like it's done well and I think crowd-funding is a great option for Sim given his fervent fan base.
*
still a few days left on this Ant Sang project.
* one of my favorite thing to encounter on these sites is
the occasional Steve Ditko project -- always modestly priced. That Ditko makes so much personal work now is a great thing, really.
* finally, you have a few more days to get onto Ryan Andrews' project
here; it's more than made its goal.
