Comics By Request—People, Projects In Need Of Funding
By Tom Spurgeon
*
this nice person sent me a link to their Kickstarter, a comic called
GYR. Seems pretty straight-forward to me. The nice thing is when you send one of these long-running campaigns I can cut and paste it and run it on multiple column days.
* this would be a good time
to buy some JR Williams original art, if you're so inclined. JR's art is great -- his is the first art I bought when I moved to Seattle back in '94.
* a Jesse Reklaw-related crowd-funder?
Yes.
* Frank Cho
will take a Liberty Meadows project to crowd-funding in September.
*
here's one from I think Turkey with artists from all around the world involved.
*
the Tripwire crowd-funder is ongoing.
* Crowd-funding was a significant subject of
this panel at WonderCon.
* Reading Frenzy isn't a comics store as much as it is a 'zine and small-publications shop, but I certainly bought comics and comics-related things there when I lived in the Pacific Northwest and I generally found it a swell place to go.
Here's a crowd-funder they're doing. It's hard to imagine Portland without it.
* I totally missed that Radio Comix had a fundraiser because of an accounting snafu.
They didn't need my help.
*
the Caravan of Comics people are back at again.
* the Roman Dirge hospital-bills effort
remains ongoing, while
this post is still at the top of Peter David's site.
*
this Australia/New Zealand fundraiser is heading into its final hours.
* finally, Jason Lutes wrote me about
this interesting-looking project for which he's seeking crowd-funding. I might try to run this link again, but I thought it was interesting for a couple of reasons: one, there haven't been a ton of crowd-funder run by cartoonists of Lutes' caliber and generational profile; two, I think we could see a point where we have a lot of people running secondary projects through crowd-funding mechanisms.
