The Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meets at 6:30 until 10:00 the first Thursday of every month at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe in Northeast.

Generally, we draw collaborative “jam” comics, socialize and drink caffeinated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.

The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).

24 Hour Comics Day Minneapolis Wrap-Up

24 Hour Comics, event, Events, Minneapolis, mn, St. Paul

A lot of fun was had in Minneapolis last weekend for 24 Hour Comics Day… if you haven’t already seen it, go look at the Minneapolis coverage on our event blog here. Ryan Dow, Dan Olson, Kevin Cannon and Zander Cannon have all posted their comics… go here to get the links. We will be collecting the comics as a mini-comics set… go here for more info on how to participate in that. Get some sleep and start mentally preparing now for next year.

HOT INK: Comic Art in Minnesota reviewed

event, Events, gallery show, Minneapolis, mn, St. Paul

The Hot Ink: Comic Art in Minnesota show at the Minnesota Museum of American Art just got a great write up in The Star-Tribune (and Vita.mn). Note that the article is 3 pages you have to click through to read.

From the article:

A populist complaint about the contemporary art scene is that artists today “can’t draw.” More to the point is that those who can draw have probably turned to cartooning. For anyone who appreciates great drawing, this show is a good place to find it.

You can check out some photos from the opening of the event here and here (thanks to Big Time Attic for pointing these photo galleries out… you can see a image of the print version of the article on their site)… please let us know if you see any more we can link to. Also, if someone could save a copy of the print version of the above article for me, I would much appreciate it!

Note also that if you haven’t seen the show, it apparently is going to be up until around March 2008… so you have some time.

Cartooning Teaching Gig at The Elk River Library, and Make Comics for Malaria

Opportunities
Thanks much to Britt Aamodt for passing on the two below opportunities:
The Elk River Library is looking for a cartoonist to teach three 1-hour cartooning sessions to teens next summer. The dates/times would be second and/or third Tuesday evenings. They’re looking to pay $350 for the gig.
Anyone who’s interested can email head librarian Mick Stoffers at micks (at symbol) grrl.lib.mn.us. It’s a brand new library (open a year). Really nice facilities. And though Elk River seems like a million miles away, when I drive up here from Mpls it’s between 45 minutes and 1 hr.

Here is the second opportunity:

Will you choose to make your media matter?

3 million people die of malaria each year. Help Celtx fight
malaria by putting your creativity and talent to use.

Create a comic book,video, ad, play, or anything to inspire
others to donate $5 to buy a life-saving bednet.

THANKS!

JAM TONIGHT IN MINNEAPOLIS!!! (Thursday, October 2nd)

event, Events, jam, Jam Comics, Minneapolis, mn

It is a big week for the Conspiracy…

Thursday night we have a jam (see below).

Friday night is the Hot Ink: Comic Art in Minnesota opening at the Minnesota Museum of American Art, featuring work by many Conspirators.

Saturday and Sunday is FallCon, the biggest and best comics convention every year in Minnesota.

(On top of all this, we are a mere two weeks and change away from our 5th annual 24 Hour Comics Day event… hope you are getting some sleep while you can).

But right now, let’s focus on the jam, shall we?

Danno Says:

I know what you’re thinking…

You’re thinking tomorrow is Oct 1st…still another 6 weeks or so unitl you even have to THINK about X-Mas.
…right?…
WRONG!!!
Cause if we’d like this months Jam to be part of the upcoming December Altered Esthetics show,
at least one of the themes has to be–
HAPPY HOLIDAZE.
(and…in addition to Kevin doing an awesome job scanning each jam, he’s delivering them to AE for drisplay purposes…right?)
So think X-Mas.
Though no one said you had to think about it in a nice way…
See you all about 7:30 on Thurs.
