CCSF San Francisco comic jams

Hey hey hey you comic drawing folks…

it’s time for our regular Thursday night comic jam at the Church St. Café, (These jams run the Second and Last Thursday of every month and are easy to get to from public transportation.)

With 24 Hour Comic Book Day coming in a bit less then a month, maybe we could practice and talk about strategies for getting our comics done at the event. Or how about bringing your APE projects in and getting feed back.

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!

Description: The San Francisco cell of the International Cartoonist Conspiracy meets twice a month from on the second and last Thursday of the month from 6:30-10PM
location: Church St. Cafe. 260 Church Street San Francisco, CA 94114

Getting there: I have started a thread on the Google group that we can post ideas on getting to the Jam on MUNI, BART and driving/parking. There is not driving/parking info yet since I do not do that, so if you have some knowledge please go and add it.

     That’s right!  24 HOUR COMIC DAY is nearly upon us again.  SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3rd from 10 am until 10am  SUNDAY, OCTOBER 4th (or whenever you get done, whichever comes first). 

     Once again we will be taking over the MINNESOTA CENTER FOR BOOK ARTS to do this, and ALL are encouraged to participate whether you’ve attempted 24 HOUR COMIC DAY before or not–and remember, if 24 hours seem too daunting, you can always try a 4, 8, or 12 hour variation. Whatever you like.  The more the merrier.  We also collate a box of 24 HOUR COMIC DAY mini-comics a few weeks afterwards, to commemorate the good times.  

    Bring your own art supplies, a treat to share for the “POT LUCK”, and a love of drawing comics. 

    If you’re interested in participating, please drop an email to  24hourcomicday@gmail.com (please note, this is email and the 24-HOURCOMICDAYwebsite are for people participating at the Minneapolis BOOK ARTs location only. Please see the official 24 HOUR COMIC DAY for all other inquiries.) 

   HOPE TO SEE YOU BY 10am ON OCTOBER 3rd! (Get there early and stake out a good spot!)

As always, a THANKS to all our usual sponors:

  • International Cartoonist Conspiracy
  • Minnesota Center for Book Arts
  • Big Time Attic
  • Big Brain Comics
  • Wet Paint
  • Grumpy’s Bar
  • Pizza Luce

    • 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!

      Minneapolis-based Conspirator Jon Sloan has taken his balding Tae Kwon Do character and has sent him  flying  from the mini-comics pages straight into an online webcomic!  Starting Friday, Sept. 4th, new webstrips will be available to see online at:

    www.sa-bomjimcomic.com

    The strip will update ever Friday and Monday….so you can start and end the week with more martial-arts inspired madness to KICK-start your work week or weekend!

      Special thanks to The ICC for letting me use their site for a very shameless plug!

    In addition to drawing and general good times, we’ll be hasslin’ you about taking part in 24 HOUR COMIC DAY DAY too (since that is less than a month and we’re just now getting around to thinking about it).

    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).

    Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe
    1618 Central Avenue Northeast
    Minneapolis, Minnesota

    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.

    Big Time Attic

    Big Time Attic hosts our monthly jam meetings at Diamond’s… they will be supplying us with a big old plate of pastries or something. Thanks fellas!
