Well, when we get together you can't really call it a "meeting". It's too much fun to possibly be a "meeting". More like a get-together where we end up creating art and grubbing on delicious food. At this particular meeting, we were interviewed by Emma (nice!) from the San Gabriel Valley Highlander. She did a story on the Cartoonistas, what we are, who we are, and why we are. It was a really good experience. I'll post the article as soon as its out. Here some other stuff that went on:
Underwear AlphaNerd by me. This piece is for sale for a mere $120,000 (give or take a few thousands). It's also on display at the West Covina Library (seriously). Don't believe me? I'll show you pics soon (you non-believers).
Josr Cabrera joined us via web chat all the way live from Mexico. It was so nice seeing Jose. man, I miss that guy. He is one funny guy. Talented too. Great times. I called him "Mex Headroom" this night. Jose rocks.
Oil pastel chalk creation by Gras Rodriguez. Man, that girl gets better every week it seems. She's becoming our very own "Frida". She'll kill me if she reads this.
Special guest appearance from Vegas: by Nick (nephew) and his lady pal (fiance) Brie. These two can also draw like there is no tomorrow. It must run inthe family, and extended family.
Everybody got into the act, drawing, creating, laughing -etc. The Cartoonistas are a strange mix of laid back, casualness....yet we get things done. That is a dangerous combo. Look out San Gabriel Valley and beyond. Thanks to everyone that attended. We'll see you Saturday night in Whittier at Geeks (7pm-??)
My friend Cesar has taken a photo of an acryllic painting I did (at the latest GEEKS event) and put it as the wallpaper on his iPhone. Nice. Thanks for sending the photo, Cesar. I feel so very high tech now....like Kanye West or the hipster guy at the Genius Bar at the Apple Store.
Part One of my interview with Matt Leong from the DoubleDorkmeter podcast is online. We mainly talk about the Fakesplosion, my fake band radio show. CHECK IT OUT HERE!
We made them papers again! The San Gabriel Valley Tribune. Article by super-reporter, Emma Gallegos. CLICK HERE TO READ THE ARTICLE!
Thank you to Nuvein and the West Covina Library staff for helping us with this event. Everybody seemed to have a good time watching the live art and we all had a good time mingling with folks.
The kids were great. Lots of audience participation. I mainly did this "doodle game", where the kids start a doodle on a page and I make it into a finished piece of art...or piece of something.
Javier, Gras, Bernice, and myself were representing the Cartoonistas this grand day.
Here I am showing off my patented strangle hold. Um....not the best thing to teach kids?
We had 100 plus in attendance. Thank you to everyone that came out. You made it a great day.
Andrew, quite possibly the happiest boy on Earth. He won the raffle for this poster I created at the event. I better not see that on E bay, kid. More photo and Video can be found HERE!
