Comics By Request: People, Projects In Need Of Funding
By Tom Spurgeon
* I didn't see Christian Ward's
commission list and related request for business
when it was posted, but
it's apparently still open
.
* as far as I know the great Gilbert Hernandez
is still accepting commissions
at the described, generous price point. In fact, most of your favorite cartoonists are probably doing commissions or selling original art right now. It's that season.
* Evan Dahm's
new
Vattu
-related crowd-funder
has met its initial goal, but you still might want to get on board with that one if you're a fan. Ditto
the Peow crowd-funder
and the one for
Kickstand Comics
. Even more successful is the crowd-funder from
Locust Moon
.
* two we're tracking that are having a more modest time of it, so please check them out:
Alphabet Anthology
and
Samandal
.
* two Patreons that were brought to our attention:
Trash Twins
(not comics, but related) and
Rio Aubry Taylor
.
* finally,
the CBLDF is among the charities that may benefit from this broadly-conceived humble bundle
.
