Comic book drawing club/Comics movement here in Cebu!

[cmontoya]

---

@zerk: Â*2 or 3 pm on 25th of February is fine with me (as of today). Â*I think my portfolio will be thicker by then. Â*

On a Sunday, uptown area is better as SM or Ayala is too crowded on a weekend. Â*Bo\\\'s Cafe near Cebu Doc or
Robinson\\\'s Place are okay with me.

[cmontoya]

@zerk: I am not sure about Kukuks Nest on a Sunday. Please change to a surer venue like Bos Cafe We will not be drawing during the 1st meeting
anyway.

[zerk]

change venue:

what: First comic book drawing club.
when: February 25th 2:00pm
where: Bo's Coffee - Across Cebu Doctor's Hospital.

just fill out your name.

Anyone else... just add your name. I'm thinking of giving away some of my heavy metal magazines away. Incentive na ni mga bai ug dai. join us..

[cmontoya]

@zerk: Bai, they are your magazines but I think people should join up because they are interested in drawing comics or line art. Let us grow organically.
Like any organization - a mix of the serious and the curious would join. I do not expect the latter to last though.

Btw, I am looking for the Makati-based comic book drawing club's website and 'steal' their lesson plan. I hope I can find it tonight.

I guess the basic plan would be to invite a Cebu-based 'expert' per topic and learn from him or her. I hope his or her honorarium is not too big.
It would be nice if the lessons are free though just like in BlitzRookies.

[zerk]

sounds like a plan... pero i was thinking of making a comic rather than holding art class.

javier emmanuel emailed me years ago with a script... when i was still hanging out at gerry's site.

Guys is this really final? Oh geez...Too bad I'm not in/from Cebu...Waaa! Sniff...I think I can visit Cebu this April. About portfolios, my two graphic novels were stolen. Dang, it sucks big time.

Poor unfortunate soul

wow, you made 2 graphic novels. that's cool... syang it was stolen. why didnt you make copies?

[dAmNseL jEnY]

@zerk
Thank you, zerk. I didnot make copies because I never thought that someone would have an interest with my works. Tsk. Those gns were purely products out of hobby and boredom but still, with senti values.

@dorky_squirrel
Heya! Haha. Words have power. Dya wanna be "eaten" inside out? Just kiddinÂ*( yet )

@cmontoya
Thank you for the offer. Hehe. I take it as a compliment. By the way, that is incredibly a very good plan. Too bad, I can't be there. I think I've just lost 1/2 of my life.
