Progress on the cartoon figure drawing group

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.

Aims

Right. Aim to do more drawing. Plan to set up a Meetup group for figure drawing for cartoonists. This could run weekly, then I'd get more drawing done! Need to find a venue.

Aim to add one character onto my site per month, so that I have 12 by the end of the year. Doesn't sound like much, but I am working full-time and it's good to have achievable goals. Might add them whatever state they are in. I can always edit and improve them and then upload updated versions of them. I think it's really interesting to see the progression of characters.

Aim to market my site. At the moment no-one knows it's there unless they stumble across on their way to something totally different when they're searching google images.

Alot of things get on my nerves for a moment but then I think just let it go, let it go! Like people who stand in front of magazine racks blocking the way and they're not even looking at the magazines, they're on the phone. Yeah anyone who stands around in shops on the phone.
