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

image* Steve Rude's indiegogo campaign is rounding into its last hours. That's for the latest offering in a sketchbook series the artist/illustrator has been doing for several years now, with a bunch of various extras tossed in. I like the $30 level there. My brother is a big fan and I'm thinking that's probably how we'll participate.

* I asked on twitter for various folks to suggest either their crowdfunders or ones in which they're interested. James Emmett chimed in with his Kali Yuga, which is described as both interactive and digital so I'm a little bit intimidated. Like I would pop up and get a drink if it sat next to me at a party. Joel Meadows reminded me that the Tripwire project could use some attention. I like Joel quite a bit; always been very nice to me, that guy. Here's one I'd never heard of called Destiny's Fate. Sean Kleefeld suggested two. One is called Mars: Daedalus Two. The other is called The Adventures Of A Comic Con Girl. Robert Kirby suggested Just The Facts: The Ladydrawers Big Book Of Stats.

* Alison Sampson responded to that call -- which I'm sure was poorly-phrased -- with a link to this one called The Firelight Isle, which is more than over and therefore makes me think that it's probably a pretty good one for your research purposes.

* the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is in the midst of its August art auctions.

* finally, here's a page that allows you to donate to the Hero Initiative in the name of Mark Gruenwald and Mike Wieringo, two extremely well-liked comics pros, much missed.
