St. Paul Cartoonist Conspiracy Jam! This Thursday, November 19th, 2009!

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. Come earlier to reserve your space! Seating can be limited at times!

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:
O’Gara’s Bar and Grill
164 Snelling Ave N
St. Paul, MN 55104
(Southeast corner of Snelling and Selby)

Bus info here.

Hope to see you there!

Meet a real live Hill Cartoonist

Conspirators, Minneapolis, mn, trees and hills comics group

Colin-logo-webshelter-cover-photo-xGreetings, Twin City Conspirators! I’ve roamed away from my home range (the hills of New Hampshire) to spend a little time here, and would love to meet some of you. Join me at 7pm at Diamonds Coffee Shop for Inter-Regional Exchange, Drawing, Chatting, Showing Off Of Comics, and Et Cetera! Sorry for the short notice; I’ve been trying to juggle a lot of things while I’ve been here & had trouble figuring out when to do this. So – the last minute it is! I’m here through the end of the week, so feel free to drop me a line at colintedford@gmail.com if you’d like to hang out. I’m hoping to make it to the Open Studio Saturday, schedule permitting.

You can see my comics here and the Trees & Hills Comics Group of VT, NH & west MA, which I co-organize, by clicking the name. I’ll have a suitcase full of comics by various New Englanders with me at the event. Hope to see you!

No zombie make-up needed, please. Dress in regular clothing. We will be providing nifty paper-and-paint make-up and effects for four or so participants.
