Kevin Cannon recently made some “reminder images” for the Just Add Ink deadline for people to post to their blogs, websites, social networking sites, or to relay via tin cans attached with taut string. Please link them to: cartoonistconspiracy.com/justaddink
If you are not inclined to upload the image yourself, here is embed code for the 200 pixel wide version:

Hi everybody!
From now until Mid-May Altered Esthetics, Big Time Attic and The International Cartoonist Conspiracy will be doing workshops in several locations throughout Minnesota.
Workshops will include how to submit to this project, tips & tricks on how to create a mini-comic, demonstrations of professional cartooning tools, and we’ll be on hand to answer any questions you have on drawing, cartooning, or producing comics!
Interested in attending a workshop? Check the schedule listed below! Feel free to bring your favorite paper & utensils, or don’t — we’ll have paper & materials on hand. Workshops are free! Please forward this along to anybody you know that might be interested in participating.

We are having a preliminary meeting for our upcoming cartoonist cookbook show, Just Add Ink, this Tuesday at Psycho Suzi’s at 9PM, where we will start to get our plan together. If you want to get involved in organizing the show, I encourage you to show up. Sorry for the short notice, I meant to get this information posted sooner. If you want to participate in organizing the show and can’t show up Tuesday, please let me know so we can get you on our planning email list (email me at webmaster(at)cartoonistconspiracy.com).
Don’t worry, participation in the show will be open to anyone who wants to participate… so please do not show up if you want to participate in the show, but have no interest in helping put it together.
