Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* they are raising money for a free comics festival in Durham, North Carolina. Those good men Robert Clough and Eric Knisley are involved. You can follow the show's progress on Facebook here, look at the site here, follow them on twitter here, and pay attention to their tumblr here. That's a nice part of the country, and that city specifically is coming around as a general arts/culture center after years as "just" a college town. Clough introduces it to readers of his blog here.

* Joseph Hughes endorses a crowd-funding effort from Sanford Greene.

* another Columbus player.

* I wasn't aware that you could do pre-publicity for a crowd-funding campaign.

image* T. Edward Bak's Wild Man tour could still use some supporters; I'd like to see that one happen.

* I like one of these three things. Not crime.

* two projects about comedy are struggling a bit. I doubt that means anything, I just noticed it. I wish both of them luck with a strong finish.

* Rick Geary, Bo Hampton and Nick Bertozzi are the established industry names with crowd-funders going. The Bertozzi could get over the finish line as early as today if a few people were to jump on it.

* totally missed an ABQ con crowd-funding its way into existence. The Southwest seems to have a lot of small conventions right now. You also don't see a ton of archival projects being done this way.

* finally, congratulations to Team Yeti Press.
