A new project has claimed the title of most funded (check out The History of #1 on our blog), and this week's projects are as cool as ever: an eclectic comic collection, a fermented food frenzy, and some good of fashioned snail mail. The Antler Boy and Other Stories by Jake Parker Comics Provo, UT A comic genius Jake Parker has spent 13 years working as an artist on everything from toy commercials to Horton Hears a Who!, but he's never stopped drawing his own comics on the side. Over time, his varied collection has grown to include tales of flying whales, spaceexploring robots, and a little girl who loves to play checkers — each beautifully illustrated in Jake's signature eclectic style. His new book will collect them all in a single hardcover edition.

CA It's alive! The Brine and Dine Live Culture Collective is not afraid to get a little wild — wild with its cultures, that is, which they use to make their funky and fresh raw sauerkraut. Mixing locally sourced ingredients with oldfashioned methods, like maturing small batches in earthenware crocks, they're out to create a uniquely crispy, tangy version of this classic fermented foodstuff. I. EXPLORE THIS PROJECT P.S. I love you In response to the proposed closure of 3,700 US postal offices comes Post Haste, a mixed-media art exhibition that reflects on how the digital age is radically changing our public institutions, with contributions ranging from portraits of stamp collectors to a live transcription service for gallery visitors. Can't attend? There are still handwritten letters and EFTA_R1_00542843 EFTA02032207 original art to look forward to — all delivered the oldfashioned way, naturally!
