drink and draw success!

sweet we had another great session of drink and draw. we got a volunteer to draw the next flyer. and for the next session we will do a theme. to try to get people involved in the same subject matter and share our drawings. for a goal to keep in mind is lets try to do some finished sketches so we can get some work into a sketchbook. for drink and draw here in dallas and also the main book. i am hopeing by doing a subject drawing we will share each others artwork and try to explain our creative process. also to help to get everyone to know each other and communicate with one another. not that we are not doing all ready but on a creative level. or maybe i am just talking out of my ass here. either way it should be fun!

thanks for all the support and lets keep this going!!

Drink and Draw 31: Autumn

all right! i am ready for some drink and draw. this next sunday lets get ready. i will reinstate the drink and draw flyer raffle. for those who want to volunteer their talents to draw a flyer for drink and draw.

as far as news i got nothing. if anyone has news to announce. post them on the wall on the drink and draw page. i still havent really seen anyone sharing artwork on our page. would really love if we shared work on the page, even if it isnt drawn at the drink and draw sessions.

uuuuuuuuuuuuhm. i think that is all i have for now.
thanks for everyones support and have a great week!!!!!!

Drink and Draw DFW 30: Pop Quiz

ok. so here we go again. i know its labor day weekend. but i decided we should still hold a meeting. i know everyone doesnt go out of town. so we will do this for those that stay in town. personally i will be out. but i am pretty sure you guys can handle it.

i also want to reinstate the volunteer lottery of drawing the drink and draw flyers.

so i think if jose (the other jose) will be in he can get this taken care of. if not someone just volunteer and let me know who was the lucky one.

welp, lets make this a good one!!

drink and draw 29: Mighty Risky

yo! Check it!

we got another drink and draw session coming up next week. hope to see your faces there.

also next week on Saturday. we got that table at the DWEX (http://dwex.info/) please come by and support our indie comic creators and to check out what is out there in the underground scene.

for this that wanted to use the table, just buy your badges at the show when you show up. just tell them you are with drink and draw, and we will get you setup. bring your art and skills to sell.


hope you see you guys at the show and aswell as the meeting!!!
PEACE!!

Drink and Draw 28: hot august night

ok. more drink and draw coming our way.

i will try to get the table for the Dallas Webcomics Expo this week.
whoever wants to join in. should tell me by wednesday. so i know how many badges to order. (http://dwex.info/)

i think that is the latest news so far.

also, i am wanting to push you guys to try to post your artwork on the drink and draw wall.

the O.G. drink and draw from l.a. is gonna be looking at artwork drawn from all the other chapters around the nation to drop into their book (next years most likely). its a great chance to get some exposure and get your name out there.
but the only way this is gonna happen is if you show up to the meetings and post your artwork on this wall for them peeps to see whats out there.
(i am not in charge of making the decisions on what goes in the book i am just a messenger.)

so there you have it. lets get to drawing!

we are moving to a fresh scene. we are gonna see what the flying saucer has to offer. i have personally never been there but lets find out shall we!! its the one near addisson. adison addison adisson...!

our poster was drawn by none other than dave sisk. a talented artist indeed!
thanks to him to his painterly pin up of our drink and draw cowgirl.

lets see if we can get a collabrotive comic strip going that night. we will start it early so we can get everyone involved. this is where someone starts a panel and the next person draws the next panel and telling a story of whatever the first person comes up with. should be pretty wild. CRAZY!!

Drink and Draw 24: Changes

let us drink and draw!!

ok. this is the first drink and draw of the summer.
so i want to make some changes. like the location and lets throw around some ideas for drink and draw. let us make this a productive drink and draw meeting.

so if you want to help mold drink and draw into something that you want this will be the time.

the main thing lets find another location for our meetings. i am pretty bored with big racks. and its not really such a cool environment. lets brainstorm and find some cool new places to have our meetings. i am also thinking we can change the location. every once in awhile to keep things fresh. for example. right now its pretty darn hot. so if someone knows of a cool ice cream parlor that has decent seating we can go to to we can hold meetings there.

another point i want to discuss. is sponsorship or fund raising. so we can bring in models for life drawing. i will have to research where we can get a model and how much they charge and a place for this to happen. (if anyone has info on this...it would be much obliged.)

if anyone else has ideas of things to do. other activities. maybe one sunday we could have an early drink and draw session at a park or at the zoo. these are things i would like to do to make things fresh and more interesting.

as awlays thanks for the support. drink and draw has been going on for over a year now. thanks for everything making this possible. so lets start thinking of ideas to make this more interesting. this is for you and everyone interested in art.

again thanks for the support.

jose. ramirez.

this weeks poster is drawn andez gaston. one of the gaston twins. he is a talented concept artist and illustrator. he does freelance on the side while still serving in the military. he is based in japan as we speak. i give a big thanks to him and his brother for supporting our drink and draw program from such distance. check out some of their work here.

Drink and Draw 23: Extra Mayo!

sooooooooooo...are we ready for another drink and draw session..NO!. oh yeah. well tough cookie, here comes another session of drink and draw! yup this next sunday.

this weeks poster was drawn by the lovely iryna elochkina. not too shabby, right! wanna give her thanks for taking the time to sketch something up for it.

i want to see more faces this go around. lets get this thing kickin! if anyone has suggestions or ideas for drink and draw dont hesitate to post them up on the main page.
i am still tossing the idea of meeting up at a hookah bar for one of the sessions. the weather is starting to get really nice out there. but we dont have to many days like this before it gets hot. to hang out on the patio. plus i would have to find one around the same area.

i wanna give thanks to all those that are coming in strong and supporting drink and draw every time we meet up.

ok. words for inspiration.
