FIRST CRACK AT LUTEFISK SUSHI BOX/JAM THIS THURSDAY–MAY 1st–in MINNEAPOLIS

event, Events, gallery show, jam, Jam Comics, Lutefisk Sushi, Minneapolis, mn, News

In addition to our usual antics, we will be distributing LUTEFISK SUSHI ‘C’ boxes to contributors at our monthly jam meeting this Thursday.

Boxes may also be picked up Friday May 2nd at the LUTEFISK SUSHI ‘C’ opening at Altered Esthetics, but this is your chance to get one a day early, read it, and then have something to talk about at the opening (not that cartoonists are socially backwards and NEED something pre-planned to talk about… but it helps).

Sadly, if you didn’t contribute you’ll have to wait until Friday to buy a box of your own (less than a hundred available to the public!).

So come on by, pick up your box, then stay around and draw for a while.

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).

Bus info here.

Please spend some money at Diamond’s while you’re there, even if it is just a cuppa coffee… they are excellent hosts, and we wanna stay welcome there.

Zander Cannon Speaking at Wet Paint in St. Paul this Friday

event

From the Big Time Attic blog:

If you live in the Twin Cities, you know that Wet Paint is the only place in town that sells the legendary Pentel Pocket Brush Pen. Also, if you live anywhere else, you know that wetpaintart.com is the only place in the US that sells it online. Located near Macalester College in St. Paul, it’s the place to be if you want good art supplies and someone knowledgeable to sell them to you.

I’m going to be speaking in the store tomorrow (Friday) evening from 5:30 to 7:30 about comics, art supplies, career advice, and I’ll probably mention the Pocket Brush Pen a few times.

What I won’t mention is that I do most of my drawing on a ream of Office Max printer paper.

Come on by and check it out. Ask me some personal questions. I don’t mind.
