Drawing Night

A New Home For Elaine

2008-11-11T20:00:00.000-08:00

Elaine has a new home... And in it we rolled out a huge roll of vellum and we drew on it. That is of course after several spray fart stories went around the table.

3 Panels & Collabs... Sweet

The week of June 16th, Aya Kakeda came for a visit... And this happened.

The Sexy Show

2008-01-23T13:22:00.001-08:00

I know it's been a while since I've posted but we haven't really had any Drawing Nights in a while due to the busy Holidays and all. This particular night was in the beginning of January. We decided to work on some colabs for the upcoming "Sexy Show" which opens March 1st at HQ.

Neil raises the bar with some bread illustration.

There were some pretty bad/graphic pictures taken that night. So, this is one of the few ones of myself that I can post....

James sampling a vintage '92 Lays barbecue chip. A great year.

I've been really slacking with this blog. Sorry to anyone who checks it out. Here's a cover Neil Doshi did a couple of sessions ago!
I'll add some new stuff after the holidays, so be patient!

Pumpkin in your face!!

This week we had the whole pumpkin thing happening. I can't remember who did what so, sorry for the sketchy deets. The wolf one is Judy's... uh mean face is MTAF's Krista and the equation was Spencer & Amandas.

Drawing Night Oct. 16

2007-10-18T13:13:00.001-07:00

As usual, the night started off with good eats.

Yana had this gross liquor that tasted exactly like cough medicine....... at least to me it did. Blech!

So we did some of the line-drawing-line games to begin. (see earlier posts for explanation)

And later we did some 4 page books. Here are the covers for four of them.

Until next week.......

The Book Game

2007-10-05T12:29:00.000-07:00

This is a pretty fun one. This is how it works: Fold a few sheets of paper and put them together to make a short, blank book. The first person draws a cover and then passes to the next person who draws something on the following page continuing the story. It is then passed on to the next person who only looks at the previous page, no further, and draws the next image. This goes on until all the pages are full, then the book is read in it's entirety. The page above is the first for this particular book. It was drawn in response to an accusation that all Tyson always had to have a penis included in his drawings.

What an amazing read! Do I smell a New York Times Best-seller?

OK, so here's another one. More proof that collected, we have the mind of a pre-schooler.

Here are a few old fashion collaborative drawings a small group of us did using inks and water colors. Artists involved: Garrett van Winkle, Tyson Bodnarchuk, Neil Doshi and Fred Casia.

Line-drawing-line-drawing

Last night was a smaller group for Drawing Night. James, Jen, Freddy, Yana, Milena, Neil and Tyson showed up with pens and pencils ready to eat, drink and make magic!This game is pretty fun. here's how it works: The first person to start off the game writes a short sentence. It is then passed on to the next person who draws a picture based on that sentence. Then the page is folded so that the text is hidden and only the picture is visible and passed to the next person who now writes another sentence based on the drawing. The page is folded once again so that only the new text is visible and then passed on to the next person who will draw another picture based on the new sentence. It works best with a larger group of people, so the same person does not work on the same page twice. When you run out of space on the page, unfold it and see how it turned out. It kinda works like that game "Broken Telephone".
The best thing about drawing nights is we usually get together for dinner first. Jen made some kick ass pasta.

And we take video game breaks from time to time. (Bubble Bobble was the game of choice tonight).

We also squeezed in some more 3 panel drawings to wrap things up.

Wow. I didn't really realize what I was getting into when I volunteered to start this little blog. We have a mother-load of stockpiled drawings! So, I suppose the first month or so will have quite a few posts, as I'll put them up as I scan them. Enjoy.

3 Panel Madness!

2007-09-11T11:39:00.000-07:00

Yeah, we have a lot of these. This is only a fraction of 3 panel drawings we've done. When we first started doing Drawing Night, we mainly stuck to this exercise. It's always so much fun when each piece is finally revealed to the group, to see how it all comes together.

Penis Cheek

2007-09-10T09:06:00.000-07:00

Well, this all started out with a group of us who worked together killing time on our way to the job. In the summer of 2005, we all used to do landscaping and the hour and a half drive up north got a little boring. We began to waste time by drawing a series of 3 panel drawings, where one person would draw a head of a character, the next the torso, then someone else would draw the legs and so on. The best thing about it was the only section of the piece that you saw was the part you were working on, so when the drawing was complete, we unveiled the finished work usually resulting in hilarity and magic. We ended up with quite a collection of drawings most of which ended up in a little zine we put together called "Penis Cheek" (Pictured above). We've now rounded up more friends and try to get together weekly with different drawing games to try out. So, I guess this blog is a way of cataloging the stuff we pump out. Not all of it is gold but that's what makes the good pieces all the better.
Contributing artists for Penis Cheek: James Kerr, Tyson Bodnarchuk, Marc Simard, Kev Simard and Neil Doshi.
Look for upcoming Drawing Night posts which will include works by the above and Jen Storey, Angie Johnson, Fred Casia, Yana Gorbulsky, Aaron McConomy and more.

If you're wondering whats going on in the middle of the one above, well, it's a tank. Thank Kevin Simard for that. Tanks are his specialty.
