jam, Jam Comics, Minneapolis, St. Paul

Join the St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Cell and create a jam comic! It’s easy and fun! Just bring some drawing utensils, an idea for the jam, and a few bucks to get a tasty beverage — the baristas really do appreciate that.

The jam will start promptly at 6:30 and run until…whenever.

The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner rather than later.

To join us come to:
Cosmic’s Coffee Shoppe
189 Snelling Ave N.
St. Paul, MN 55104
(Northwest corner of Snelling and Selby)

More not than often we head on over to grab a brew at:

164 Snelling Ave N
St. Paul, MN 55104
(Southeast corner of Snelling and Selby)

Bus info here.

Hope to see you there!

St. Paul Conspiracy Jam – August 2009

jam, Jam Comics, St. Paul

The St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Cell has, over the last two months, consecutively beaten its own attendance record! We aren’t as big as Minneapolis and definitely don’t have all of the “resources” to “fly in” the stars that our sister does (see David Lloyd appearing at the last Minneapolis jam), but maybe some day “the little cell that could” will shock the hell out of the Twin Cities comics scene. You never know what September might bring, right!?

Anyhow, enjoy August’s jam!

READ: Making the Band from the CCSF

jam, Jam Comics, San+Francisco

This is a Jam Comic from back in May 2009. I think this is one of the first comics where we noticed that when we work as smaller groups we produced stronger work.

The challenge for this jam was to do no dialog with the theme of starting a band. Each comic was created in small groups of two to the three people who drew on index cards. In many ways the process resembled doing a storyboard for an animated film. Each team also worked differently then the others with some diving up the story by character and others by scene.

Well, it’s been a while since your artist pals in San Francisco uploaded some comics for you to read, but today we are going to change that.

This is the ‘Wrestling’ zine we created a few months ago. Artist teamed up and each was responsible for one of the characters and their actions. The process is very much like in 2D drawn animation where each artist/team handles one character only.
