This week in Episode #683, it’s another great crowdfunding doubleheader! It all kicks off with Background Noise from Love Letters, Every Day, then everything wraps up with a fun chat with two of the creators of Cocktails & Curves!

Lisa Burdige and John Hazard are partners in love and art. They co-create the popular diary comic, Background Noise, which has almost 25K followers on Instagram. They have a Kickstarter underway for their collection of comics called Love Letters, Every Day. It’s described this way: “It’s a quirky collection of Background Noise Comic affection from our first year of making diary comics.” We discuss how this book came to be, who the characters are, and what we can expect from these creators in the months ahead! This Kickstarter will conclude on Sunday, March 16, at 3:24 AM EDT, so be sure to support it as soon as you can!

Then everything wraps up with my engaging interview with creator Stéphane Roux and writer Jeremy Staples from Cocktails & Curves, which has just launched on zoop.gg. Here’s the book’s description: “A delicious fusion of art and mixology, Cocktails & Curves brings together mouthwatering cocktail recipes and captivating pinup illustrations, each inspired by the essence and charm of its drink. Featuring 20 brand-new full-color pinups by Stéphane Roux, this collection celebrates his remarkable range in pinup artistry. Each stunning illustration is paired with a delightful cocktail or mocktail recipe, making this book a true feast for the eyes and the palate.” We find out how this already successful book came to be, explore some of the recipes and illustrations, and find out what else these creators will be bringing our way soon! This crowdfunding event will end in early April, but don’t wait! Support this great project on zoop.gg today!
