Bellingham School of Comics

I unofficially declare Thursday, December 22, 2011 to be LOLIDAY CARD THEMED.

Interpret as you will. Also, go to the meeting or else.

You are, of course, welcome to schedule your own meetings with whoever you can get to show up. And you may use this forum to do so! However, the bulk of us are now meeting on Thursdays at 5pm, at the Black Drop.

Thank you.

I showed up at the Blackdrop for a couple Mondays to find I was the only one there. Looking online the closest thing I could find was a post on Fenmere’s LJ back on the 4th talking about moving meetings to Thursdays, but I didn’t see that any decision had been reached (note to Jonathan: sent you an email, probably got stuck in your spam filter.) I  was talking to Arsen the other day and he told me meetings had been moved to Thurdays.

I’m thinking an announcement might be in order?

Ok, so we couldn’t do a con this year. Thing is, we miss you all… just terribly. I mean, my every second thought is, “Oh, if only I had a ValhallaCon member to hang out with while I [fill in domestic,work, or world domination task here].” And I know that the rest of the ConCom feels the same.

So, let’s get together and have a ValhallaCon party! We are having a shingdig to end all shindigs on 9/25/10 starting at 2:00 in the afternoon at Flatland. Yes, it is true, Flatland really does exist. It is at 3219 Plymouth Dr in Bellingham, WA. In addition to this invite, our membership coordinator, Jessica, will also be sending out invites via email to those of you who so kindly provided emails during last year’s registration. Bring yourself, bring your friend, and bring the alien you found last year while hiking in a remote part of the Cascade mountains.

Love and bunnies to all,
Echo

Edited to Add: Everyone who was remotely interested in ValhallaCon is invited. Hope to see you there!

Here’s a really cool project.

Lately, I’ve been thinking that while I’m in my own comic making slump I could help some of my friends who are enthusiastically starting their own projects by going over the history of Harmless Free Radicals and sharing what I’ve learned from my work. Well, Eric, who is a fantastic cartoonist, is doing something really similar only using his favorite how-to books.

He’s still at the planning stages, and it looks like he’s trying to make it more of a community thing than a single artist driven blog series. So, if you’re interested in working along with him, you should pipe up right now.
