Doodle trade/artist meetup?

Edit: Here's the gameplan.

Saturday. 6:00PM We'll run as long as people are interested.
Level 1 food court. Right side, by the freeplay stage.
I'll try to snag a few tables, and put some cards out to reserve them.
No skill required, anyone who loves art can join!
We'll start by pairing up and sketching each other's requests. Nothing fancy, just some fun art to break the ice.
If you draw something for someone else, and do not want to give him the original copy, please exchange DA accounts or email addresses and give them a digital copy.
I will bring a fat stack of cardstock and some gradient pencils, but I recommend bringing some of your own supplies.

My twitter is @InsanelyZanter . I will post any updates there, or here if I can secure a source of internet.


This is a very underdeveloped idea, but I thought I'd test the waters before setting anything in stone.

If the art forum is anything to go by, lots of PA fans are talented artists. So I thought, why don't we have a meetup?

I thought we could base it around some sketch trading, everyone bring some supplies and draw each others characters or such. Or we could just get together and chat art. Anything we're interested in.

No skill or age required. If you have some stuff on the internet, post it! We can get familiar and recognize each other's work

I'll finalize my schedule, but if anyone has any times or meetup spots feel free to say so.

(It's a broad enough idea I thought i should post a disclaimer, sorry if this has already been brought up. I looked around but I'm legendarily blind at this stuff.)

    I had a similar thought - was thinking of doing a "sketchcrawl" of Boston, or a day of hanging out in the MoMA.

    This would be fun. I'd love to have a chance to sit with other people just sketching stuff.

    I haven't really posted in the Art forum, but here's some examples of my stuff:

    I'd love to do this! Just, please, for the sake of the flying spaghetti monster, don't schedule this over an evening concert or the keynote! People keep planning awesome events and then placing them smack dab over things I refuse to miss. Here's a picture of mine. It's older, but I haven't owned a scanner in quite some time. SPOILER: Contains boobies.
    So, mayhaps, we all meet somewhere, randomly assign pairs and make each other art? :)

    Man, even Dora the Explorer thinks you're slow.

    I plan on going to keynote and a concert or two myself, so I'll be planing this outside of anything big for certain.

    I'm thinking we could break the ice by drawing cards, whoever's match would group up and draw each other's requests. Then either redraw once we've finished, or just chill and draw casually.

    For location and time, I'm thinking the level 1 food court, due to the obvious presence of tables. thinking Saturday, 4-5? Time slot's still wide open, so feel free to suggest any.

    Awesome! This sounds like fun :o I think I might show if the Omegathon gets boring (hmmm...) How long will it be going on? I love to do art jam things.

    Samples of my art are ALL OVER my tumblr; I draw comics & doodles for fun.

    Great! Hope you can make it.

    As long as people are interested in hanging around. obviously the turnout will dictate interest, but I imagine a hour or two. Planing to start at 6.

    Thanks to everyone ho came! My ideas for structure kind of fell apart, but It was fun nonetheless.

    Someone mentioned it during the Q&A, which was awesome. But then he didn't show up, so I'm horribly sorry if I miscommunicated the location.

    I apologize to the people who sat at the table for a good five minutes while I danced around like a idiot flashing my sign and wondering if anyone was coming.
