animation, comics, exhibits, events, etc!

On the last Sunday of every month at 12pm, join the Sequential Art Collective for group drawing in and around New York City. The meeting will last between 2 to 4 hours (approx). Bring your own drawing pads, pens , pencils, eraser etc. Each month we will be venturing to different locations ranging from zoos to museums, baseball games, parks, etc.

The object is to have fun with fellow artists and like minded individuals — and to take your drawing to the next level by sharing and critiquing your art with your peers. There will be no charge to attend other than whatever fee the locations charge. If we are aware of enough attendees ahead of time, all attempts will be made to book special group admission rates as applicable.

The first meeting will be this  Sunday, May 31st. We will be heading over the Museum of Natural History. The main focus will be the Mammal Room and the Sea Life Room. We will meet outside of the museum in front of the equestrian statue of Teddy Roosevelt at 12:00PM.

Date: Sunday, May 31, 2009
Time: 12:00pm – 4:00pm
Location: American Museum of Natural History
Street: Central Park West at 79th Street
City/Town: New York, NY

Comic conventions are a central part of my fanboy experience. I remember first reading all of the exciting announcements about artist appearances at the San Diego Comic Con in the pages of Wizard Magazine in the ’90s. Of course, I was a teenager then and I didn’t have the funds or the daring to fly to a city on the West Coast by myself. Now, I make it to at least two major cons a year and several smaller ones.

I attended my first San Diego Comic-Con in 2005. At the time, my older sister was living in Escondido, just north of San Diego, and rather than getting a hotel closer to the Convention Center, I saved some money by crashing on her couch. Then I spent some of that money on cab fare to get to and from the Con each of the four days—and, of course, swag.
