What’s Happening at the NWFLAA Cartoon Club

At the last Cartoon Club meeting, we did some group exercises. One person did a gesture drawing of two figures (either person/animal or camera/fish). The next person inked one of the figures, and the next person inked the remaining figure. Each final drawing was completed by three cartoonists. It was great fun!

Join us for the next meeting Tuesday, January 17, 6pm, at the Art Lair.

First Meeting of the Cartoon Club

HEY GANG!!

The very First meeting of The NWFLAA Cartoon Club will be on Tuesday July 26th, 6pm at the Art Lair. Bring your sketch pads for drawing and also so that I can see and get some idea about what you like and where you would like to go with your cartoons. Also bring your drawing implements, because this club will be mostly about doing not talking about doing. We have a Funnies Paper to publish, remember. The meetings will be twice a month, but we will not meet on the Tuesday before our NWFLAA monthly Art Show turn in date, in case any of you are pressing to make that deadline.

All cartoon work will be your individual choice and created at your own pace and personal progression. The Cartoon Club Group itself will be a fun collective for support, experience, learning, as well as a nurturing ground for your own individual development in the art of cartooning. I don’t believe there is any benefit to criticism, so don’t worry, there will be none of that allowed. At times you may be given suggestions or even a short assignment in order to help you expand your ideas and technique. I will be here for your encouragement, questions, help, or any other cartooning needs. But I will be drawing too, and enjoying learning from you.

I am at the Art Lair every Tuesday from about 3:30 to 6:00 but I can stay longer if you want me for extra time. Contact me on my cell, facebook, or email, or stop me on the street. Come on, be the first kid on your block to sign up! You will be required to sign with your own blood. (But that requirement “may” be waived if you are too hesitant or squeamish).
