This month lots of Cartoonists and Illustrators have been participating in the Inktober art challenge, and we want to see what you’ve been doing! What? You haven’t been participating? Don’t worry! This month’s meeting is our annual Show and Tell!
So come and join us on Saturday 18th, at the University District Artists and Craftsmen at 5:30. (4350 8th Avenue NE, Seattle, ) Enjoy some Halloween candy while you show us your latest project – whether it is a comic strip, a graphic novel in progress, greeting cards, caricatures, or something else entirely! Whatever you’ve got, we can’t wait to see it and provide some positive feedback!
Don’t miss the September meeting of Cartoonists Northwest on Saturday,September 21st @ 5:30pmin Artists & Craftsman Supply in the University District. Everyone’s welcome!
Please bring your art or latest project to show off and discuss. Maybe you have something you can put up for voting as Best of the Northwest!
Maybe we’ll have a demonstration or workshop. CNW meetings are fun and often spontaneous gatherings. We can network, inspire each other, share tips and techniques, show off, ask opinions.
See you all on Saturday, September 21st!
Join us for Our August Meeting and Creative Workshop!
Is the final stretch of the summer blahs letting you down? Can’t think of a new idea to save your life? Well, let us jumpstart your brain with the world-famous Lo Likkert’s Gag, Situation & Ideas finder!
The late, great Lo Linkert created the essential cartoonist’s idea conjuring tool: the Gag, Situation and Idea Finder. It’s a simple yet useful device to help you through the occasional brain freeze.
Lo’s idea finder randomly suggests the Who, The Where, The What, and the When of a gag cartoon idea. Circles of the wheel spin independently, so many cartoon situations are possible.
If we play our cards right, we should each be able to do at least five funny and original cartoons!
So come and join us for a spin of the wheel this Saturday from 5:30 to 7:00 at the Artist and Craftsmen on 4350 8th Ave NE in the Seattle University District! It plans to be useful and informative.
JUNE 2019 MEETING AGENDA
Cartoonists Northwest’s 2019 Toonie™ Award Banquet is a wrap. Our once-a-year celebration of all things cartoony was a bigly success.
As always it was fun to see so many of us together, especially some of us who don’t attend the monthly meetings are regularly as we once did.
The camaraderie melded with the good food. The Clay Contest was as big a hit as ever. The Silent Auction is an enjoyable way to pick up that gotta-have-it piece of comic memorabilia or original art (quite possibly only found at our event.)
And the special guest speaker is, of course, the centerpiece. Tony Benedict has lived a fascinating life in cartoons, and he shared a lot of amusing and interesting memories in words and pictures and video.
At our June meeting we may touch on the award banquet and other club activities.
Be sure to come to our meeting on Saturday, June 15 and bring some of your art or zines or comics to show off. Participate in the Best of the Northwest contest.
See you!
