Comics’ Giving Heart: People, Projects In Need Of Funding

* I tend to look at Kickstarter more than I do the also popular IndieGoGo fundraising site (there are other sites I'm sure I don't see at all). One thing that's interesting about the IndieGoGo stuff is that there seems to be a greater variety of fundraising going on as opposed to publishing-focused ventures. Like here's one for an Indy Comics friendly studio space in Hamilton, Ontario. Here's one for what looks like some sort of business seminar/drinking event in Belfast. Here's one that features a grumpy-looking lady in a swimsuit holding a puppet of Jim Mahfood. There are two for books I've heard of: 1, 2 -- and even then only one is still active.

* speaking of IndieGoGo, good on the fan community for backing Sparkplug. I think their reputation and their stated aims and the work they've done preparing an infrastructure made them a great candidate for this kind of fundraising.

* over at Kickstarter, they're really close on Reading With Pictures, which is nice.

* in the people not project category, I would imagine that the late Tony DeZuniga's wife Tina can still be paypaled at [email protected]; I had a couple of people ask me questions about that effort, and I have to admit I couldn't find the answers.
