1. Good Night: Marissa Meyer + Book Blogger Meetup


We did a Good Morning with Read Now Sleep Later last time; this time it's a good night!


Who: Marissa Meyer, author of Cinder



What: We'll attend the signing at 7 and then congregate next door at
Rocky Cola Cafe for munchies. They are open til 10 pm and have great diner food!

RSVP: You don't have to RSVP but we highly recommend that you reserve your copy before May 31 if you are going to buy one*. I'm calling on them tomorrow to make sure they hold me a copy! Call 818-248-9668 to reserve.

*If you already have a copy of Cinder, you will need to at least make a purchase to get a signing line ticket. Once Upon a Time is a local indie bookstore, and in order to stay in business as well as continue to provide you chances to meet your favorite big-name authors from around the country, they need to sell some books!

Contest: The bookstore is also having a contest--bring your best Cinder shoe and you could win a gift card!

Ok, RSVP: I DO kinda want to know if anyone's coming, so leave a comment below :D or email frootjoos at gmail dot com

Please help spread the word on

2. Ilustradores de Buenos Aires, esta noche es nuestra segunda...



Ilustradores de Buenos Aires, esta noche es nuestra segunda reunión, así que espero que pueda unirse a nosotros! Details are on the Facebook Event page: https://www.facebook.com/events/267807839969414/

If you feel like bringing anything, here are some suggestions 

  • Samples of your work (portfolio, books, prints, etc..) to show everyone
  • Business cards (good for trading)
  • Do you have an exhibition coming up? Bring some promotional cards for everyone
  • Sketchbook and pen, if you feel like drawing caricatures of all of us tonight (if you do, that would be great! I’ll post them here on Drawn! after the meetup!)

This is mainly a casual meetup, just to chat and have a few drinks. I look forward to meeting you all! :)

cheers,
Luc

The first “Buenos Aires Illustrator Meetup” is tonight!

Join us at the Shanghai Dragon to chill out, meet other local illustrators, and talk shop. Sign up on Facebook

It’s a really nice pub, and it’s quite new so it won’t be crowded… until we fill it up!

5. Life Drawing at the 'Village...

I have found that since I've been working fairly non-stop on series' illustration that trying to fit in time for personal art has become problematic (it may just be me, your mileage may vary).

So, since I was starting to feel like I didn't have enough going on in my life (*cough*), I volunteered to monitor a Life Drawing series back at the art studio I used to teach at before my-life-of-relentless-deadlines.

Arts Umbrella is located in the quaint and charming Country Village.

It was a beautiful, sunny morning, with their weekly Farmer's Market in full swing (nearly the last one of the season).


One of the reasons I love Country Village is that there are all kinds of critters underfoot -

Including this mama-hen with her *10,* just days-old chicks. Awfully late in the season for these babies...

But back to Life Drawing - in trying to put these sessions together with enough attendance to pay for the models I stumbled across the most wonderful 'event' site: Meetup. This site and service was new to me, and boy is it comprehensive! and a terrific meeting tool. I'm looking forward to expanding its use in the future.

And I must say that the figure drawing session went well. We had a terrific turn-out and a great model. It's been some time since I've done life drawing and am working out the kinks in the rusty anatomical-observational skills, but it felt really good to be doing it again. Doing something that is just art, for art's sake rather than for a client or deadline. And the whole rationale behind being 'in charge' was to make certain the I would have no excuse not to attend.

This should work!
