On Dec 10, 2009 we the Cartoonist Conspiracy San Francisco held our last Comic Book Jam of the year. It’s been an interesting and exciting year for our group with an expanded 24 Hour Comic Book Day event arranged by Doc Pop and group collaborations that took us outside of our regular bi-monthly Thursday Night meeting times. Many members of the group have also been expanding there work into new areas including video games and art prints.

For this last comic jam we had our second annual Cheap Ass White Elephant Gift Exchange with all sorts of cool surprises. The group also was inspired by artist Rick Lucy to do an art trade. Each drawing is on a small sheet of drawing paper and were handed out randomly once a mass of them were created. We then started traded them and created additional new ones too. It was a huge success.

Dec 10th, 2009 – Last Thursday Night Comic Jam of the Year (Cheap Ass White Elephant Gift Exchange)

jam, Jam Comics, San+Francisco, , , , , ,

we're going post-it note crazy!As the year comes to an end we gather one last time (officially) to create comics, cartoons and arts. As always we will be getting together at the Church St. Café (info below).

We will do the Cheap Arse White Elephant Gift Exchange again this year, but the difference is that the only rule is “Don’t give anything that you would not like to get yourself.” The idea is to find a graphic novel/artist material/gourmet cookies/ etc. that you don’t want anymore, but is very cool. Wrap it in a fedex envelope,newspaper or some other free wrapping material. Bring them to the Jam and at about 7:30 we will take turns picking out a new gift. Fun fun fun!

We are also encouraging members to invite new folks, artist or not, to come and collaborate with us.

INFO:

The Jam runs from 6:30 on September 10th and all artist are invited to attend. So bring your favorite drawing tools and come on down and draw
a spell. Hey even better bring a friend or two!

That’s right–The INTERNATIONAL CARTOONIST CONSPIRACY turns 7 THIS THURSDAY!!!  And just look how big it’s gotten–It’ll be a damn, unruly teen before you know it.  So come on by, do some drawing, have some cake, watch everyone cry when Zander tells us how much his comic writing class hated our pages from last month, and be sure to make your checks out to “Cash c/o Danno”.

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).

CCSF San Francisco comic jams

Well, it’s time for another Comic Jam at the Church St. Café this Thursday Oct 29, 2009 from 6:30 to 9ish. So bring your favorite materials and come make comics and art.

This week we can discuss ‘what we learned from APE 2009’ as well as share some of the goodies we picked up.

I think it would also be cool to work on a comic that would tie into the magic of the upcoming holiday season. I have an ulterior motive that I hopefully can talk about next week and I think a book that we can sell during the festivities.

St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Jam – 2nd Anniversary! This Thursday, October 15th, 2009!

jam, Jam Comics, St. Paul

The St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy will turn two years old today! Originally three brave men, Bud Burgy, Kevin McCarthy, and Daniel Olson, started this tiny offshoot cell back in 2007 as an alternate jam night in the bustling metropolis of the Twin Cities. Since then, it has grown by leaps and bounds. This is a destination for St. Paulites, Minneapolitans, and suburbanites alike!

Come join the us and celebrate tonight!

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.

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!
