Cartoon drawing group now has around 15 non-spammy members.
Tonight I emailed character designers with names from 'A' to 'J' in the UK section on Pictoplasma.com which was very very boring, trying to spread the word about the group. Unfortunately you can't narrow down to 'London' on Picto. Kind of a mad thing to do but it would be great to get a few of the Picto character designers coming along. I noticed that Pictoplasma has closed the submissions to its archive! I haven't submitted anything for a while, because last time I did, they added the characters on but then deleted all the ones already in my section. Plus, I started using Mojizu where it's more fun to get votes and with the possibility of selling a t-shirt. I truly admire the Pictoplasma people though, for their heartfelt passion which I saw first hand when I went to the 1st Pictoplasma Conference in 2004 in Berlin.
Anyway, my friend Mish has committed to coming to the drawing group and a guy called Graham so if the worst comes to the worst and no-one else RSVPs 'yes' then we can meet at Hyde Park and draw outside (weather permitting) to save on the cost of the studio hire.
Talking of spam, a strange and mysterious member joined up today with a funny image something to do with the US elections. I googled it and it seems to be a sort of cult cartoon octopus alien / devil called CTHULHU. Dunno what that's all about... I hope it's nothing with dark undertones (must buy garlic).
Will post on some boards about the my drawing group. Only three weeks till the first session now.Labels: cartoon, character designer, cthulhu, drawing, figure drawing, mojizu, pictoplasma, pictoplasma conference
