by Romy＠snowyla

This is pretty cool ... Calls for workshops for underground comics weekend . It's a lot cooler with a better vibe than comic con, more creative . Would be cool to see creative folks speak !!! Sent from my iPhone Begin forwarded message: > From: Andrew Farago <gallery(a)cartoonart.org> > Date: September 26, 2014 at 3:44:16 PM PDT > To: Volunteers 1 <gallery(a)cartoonart.org>, Volunteers 2 <gallery(a)cartoonart.org>, Volunteers 3 <gallery(a)cartoonart.org> > Subject: APE weekend, October 4-5 > > The Alternative Press Expo returns to San Francisco next weekend, and I hope you’ll all make the trip to Fort Mason to check it out. Details, as always, are posted at http://www.comic-con.org > > For the past several years, APE has hosted workshops conducted by local cartoonists on a variety of topics. We just had a last-minute cancellation from one of our Saturday afternoon workshops, so I’ll put one more call-out to my local artist list to see if anyone’s interested and available. If you’re already exhibiting at APE, this is a great way to bring a little extra attention to yourself at the convention; if you’re not attending, it’s a way to score a free pass for you and a friend. > > Please read the descriptions below to get a sense of what’s being offered this year. The canceled workshop was on the subject of character design, so if that’s one of your specialties, you won’t even have to think of a new topic. > > Thanks for your consideration! Hope to see you soon. > > Best, > > Andrew Farago > -- > Curator > Cartoon Art Museum > 655 Mission Street > San Francisco, CA 94105 > (415) CAR-TOON, ext. 309 > www.cartoonart.org > www.facebook.com/cartoonartmuseum > twitter.com/cartoonart > > > > Saturday > > 12:00-1:00 Cartoon Calisthenics—Artists of all levels are invited to start their day at APE off right with healthy and fun cartooning challenges and exercises with artist and teacher Brian Kolm (atomicbearpress.com). No need to wear your sparkly sweat suit (unless that’s your thing), just bring yourself and be ready to draw! Fleet Room > > 1:00-2:00 Inking for Reluctant Inkers—Inking is an integral part of comics; for some it's easy, for others it's terrifying. If you're looking to move past Microns and incorporate old school inking in your work, you should definitely attend this seminar with Mark Haven Britt. Basic techniques such as using a nib, drawing a straight line with a brush, spattering and masking will be covered. Learn some basic exercises/games to improve dexterity as well as strategies to get over fears of "screwing up the drawing" and focus on the decisive fun of completing the drawing will be discussed. Inking can be incredibly fun. Fleet Room > > 2:00-3:00 Graphic Humor 101—Join award-winning cartoonist Jonathan Lemon (Rabbits Against Magic) for a crash course in graphic humor and the fundamentals of comedy in this laugh-packed workshop. Fleet Room > > 3:00-4:00 PoetryComics—Great poems make great comics. In this class, Cara Goldstein will explore the balance of words and images, while looking at poetic cartoonists such as Gabrielle Bell, Hope Larson, Nate Powell, Lilli Carre' and Craig Thompson. Pieces in Dave Morice's book PoetryComics, which covers poems by Emily Dickinson, Edgar Allan Poe, and William Shakespeare, will also be read. All levels of drawing and writing are welcome. Fleet Room > > 4:00-5:00 > > 5:00-6:00 Hip-Hop Heroes—For 20 years, Age Scott (Won and Phil) has been pushing boundaries and taking risks with his comics, exploring music, pop culture, and other non-traditional subject matter. In this workshop, Age will discuss his experiences as a creator and the importance of working outside the mainstream. Fleet Room

day of the week for regular show and tell?

by Marina Kukso

hi all, we'd like to start doing a weekly informal show and tell - kind of like a 5 minutes of fame, but more informal. anyone could share something that they're working on, or something interesting, and we all listen and participate. are you a sudoer who would be interested in being a participant in something like this? if you are, what day(s) of the week might you be interested in doing this? also, we'd like to pick a day of the week when folks are likely to be around anyway so that anyone who's around can listen in for a bit, participate, go back to what they're doing. if there's a day of the week that sounds like it would fit that bill, please reply all. - marina

cats with wifi detectors + sudoMesh

by Romy Ilano

In the latest OReilly newsletter Ellen F. writes about a cat with a radio collar who wanders around neighborhoods to check for weak points in neighborhood wifis. I'm wondering if SudoMesh could do something similar - attach a radio collar to an outdoors cat to detect existing Sudomesh networks? Maybe that would be a fun hack! https://www.mapr.com/blog/the-internet-of-cat-toys?imm_mid=0c3ab9&cmp=em-na… One cat, a radio collar, and a night on the town – this little adventure turned into an entertaining article in *Wired* magazine 8 August 2014 by Andy Greenberg about the creative use of a feline investigator to find weak points in security of the neighborhood’s wifis <http://www.wired.com/2014/08/how-to-use-your-cat-to-hack-your-neighbors-wi-…> . ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

(510) 636-0852 - I can't do it, so I really hope someone can..? Or we will be charged another $100/day for renting the truck.. - Gabriela, when does truck need to be returned? - It will probably cost about ~$200 to dump.. Maybe less, but to be on the safe side.
