inkDrinkDraw is the brain child of a couple of guys that like hanging out with other artist to keep the "Artistic Energies" charged up and enjoy sharing what they know and learning from others about art and drawing as we eat, drink and draw the night away.
We hope you'll join us and draw with us and maybe we'll all learn something new.

Where we meet next:
Borderlands Cafe
870 Valencia St. San Francisco CA
WHEN: Tuesday  January 24 th. 6:30 to Closing
COST: FREE, but it would be cool to buy some food from the cafe.

EVENT: Project Pow-Wow 2012

This new year everyone seems to be working on new projects.
So our "Project Pow-Wow" will be a great time to make art, share what you are working on, and to discuss what your plans are for the new year.

We also hope to discuss ways we can improve our working methods as working artists too, a few of the subjects for discussion are:

    Networking & Visibility
    Make It Sell - When is Good, Good Enough?
    How to Improve Your Work on the Cheap?
    What's my Work Worth - What Do I Charge?
    One Piece of Work, Multiple Sales.
    Clients - Don't Get Ripped Off!
    Looking for Work & Where Do You Fit In.
    You're Not Just Selling Art - Tips on Image, Presentation & Job Interviews.


We hope to see you there!

Image Expo 2012

1 min read
A new convention in the Bay Area ?!?!!

That's right, Image Comics is having a small convention to celebrate their anniversary February 2012

Image Comics Expo (www.imagecomicexpo.com/)
February 24-26, 2012
Oakland Convention Center (near BART)
Artist Alley (look under Rae Wood and Brian Kolm)

"Image Expo is the premier comic con experience of Northern California in 2012. The three-day event takes place at the Oakland Convention Center February 24-25-26. Celebrating the creative spirit of independence, The Image Comic Expo commemorates the formation of IMAGE COMICS 20 years ago. But more than just looking to the past, the event showcases the evolving the comic market by spotlighting the future of the publisher."

I will be sharing an artist alley table with artist Rae Wood (raewood.com) and be premiering a new comic book as well as have art prints (fantasy, tiki, etc) on hand.

Hope to see you there.

I am helping to organize another cartoon art jam at the Cartoon Art Museum this Sunday May 22. All day.

On May 22, 2011 the Cartoonist Conspiracy San Francisco and the Cartoon Art Museum Bookstore will be kicking off the third year of CAM-JAM's, cartoonist collaboration events. The CAM-JAM's have tried different themes in the past such as Tikis and Samurais, but this time we will go with something a bit more challenging…Animation. With a mix of old school drawing goodness and desk top video technology we will attempt to collaborate and create 30 seconds of animation within the length of the event from 11am to 5pm.

    Will you come and join us? All artist are welcome.

    When: Sunday May 22, 2011

    11am to 5pm

    Where: Cartoon Art Museum – 655 Mission St San Francisco CA

    Cost: FREE for participating artists

The final work will be posted on my blog HERE: atomicbearpress.com/2011/04/20…
