Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding By Tom Spurgeon
* this will be mentioned further up the page as well, but the SPACE indiegogo continues. That's an excellent show, and they're raising money to give it away to the cartoonists that win their prizes. If you're an attendee or exhibitor, you might give even more thought to participating.
* I'm not finding a lot out there that leaps out at me from the formal crowd-funding sites that way I usually. I'm going to suggest that's something wrong with the way I look at things rather than the available pool. I do know that this project is from a pair of cartoonists that have been trying to launch socially-conscious comics in the Chicago area for a while now. I'm bookmarking it here so I go back and look at it at some point. It's received no traction thus far.
* the Don Perlin and Jim Hudnall fundraisers are still going, as far as I know. Those tend to go until there's a note on them calling them off. I'm sure any money would be appreciated.
* an artist friend suggested that you check in with your favorite artists through twitter and other social media because sometimes artists come out of the holidays a little light. I did see one artist doing a New Year's weekend sketch sale, but that one is done now. It's not a bad idea.
