Hello all!

This is Cat Ellis, you friendly neighborhood Drink n’ Draw Coordinator! You may remember me from such comics as Flaccid Badger Wants an Apple, or maybe just other drink and draw events.:’}

I’m writing to tell you all to prepare for not one, not two, but THREE, yes THREE glorious Drink and Draw events in a ROW! Can you believe it? So whip out those calendars and mark down these dates!

MARCH 21st!

APRIL 11th!

MAY 9th!

We’ll still be meeting at Madison’s, and the time is still the same as well. 8pm if I’m not mistaken…(someone correct me if I’m remembering wrong)

So, come! Bring a friend! Bring pencils, pens, and a sketchbook! We’ll bring some paper as well, just in case. Just get ready to have a good time. :’} See you there!

Cat

2008-08-26T02:04:15Z

This Sat August 30th at 8:00 p.m. at our usual place (Madison’s) we’ll be having yet another drink and draw. No special tricks or gimmicks for this one, just good ol’ fashioned Sketching whilst alcoholically liquidating. Please spread the word to the Portland art folk. We hope to see you there.

2008-06-04T06:36:20Z

Just a quick note that the new drink and draw will be this Sat June 7th! 8:00 P.M. at Madisons! Please come out and bring your friends, family and enemies!

SEATTLE Drink n Draw!

2008-05-09T16:50:04Z

I was supposed to post this like a week ago and it slipped my mind, sorry! For any Seattlites who may be looking at this, the first ever Seattle Drink-n-Draw is tonight, hosted by Calamity Jon and the Mighty Adam!

April 19th Stumptown Jam Poster Party

2008-05-02T05:19:32Z

Sat April 19th was the (now) annual Portland Drink and Draw Pre-Stumptown Jam Poster Party…

Everybody seemed to have a good time, and Jam Posters both conceptual and interpretive were brought into this world with the aid a few stiff drinks… just like most of the artists creating them (probably). Here are some shots of the evening as well as some of the acutal work…

The next Drink and Draw’s date is still TBD but we’ll post it here once we know. Check back for updates and more art from your friendly local (if you live in Portland, OR) Drink and Draw!

Date change!

2008-04-01T22:32:07Z

O.k.

After all the reminding and annoying emails I’ve already sent here’s another one. We had to move the Drink and Draw date to the 19th. Cosmic Monkey’s 24 hour comic date is the same day (the 5th-6th) and there were people who wanted to attend both events. In the spirit of comics community love we certainly didn’t want to potentially create a siphoning of folks for one event or another. We re-confirmed with Madisons yesterday and now have the 19th at the same time. This date also fits into the Stumptown Comics Month Calendar with no other conflicts. Sorry for the late notice (we just found this out last weekend and had to wait for the re-confirm with Madisons to announce things.) and sorry again if the date change proves to be an inconvienance. We did this out of respect for the fine folks a Cosmic Monkey (they sell us our drug of choice and as any addict will tell you… don’t piss off your dealer.)

But for now and the future this will be the new place for all things Drink and Draw…

http://www.portlanddrinkndraw.com/

(yes I know the date hasn’t been changed yet on the site that is happening tonight) SING IN AND MAKE YOURSELF “IN” ON ALL DRINK AND DRAW KNOWLEDGE!!!

Again we’re sorry for the last minute change. We hope to see you all on the 19th!!!

Drink-N-Draw Saturday, April 5th!

2008-03-29T08:00:16Z

We’ve scheduled the next Portland Drink-N-Draw for Saturday, April 5th at 8:00.

We have a special activity this month:

THE DRINK AND DRAW PRE-STUMPTOWN JAM POSTER PARTY!!!!

simple rules…

1.) You arrive with a piece of paper (any size) with a drawing of yours in the center (a character or concept of your choosing, but ideally not taking up too much space).
2.) You pass the paper around and let other people draw their interpretation of your drawing / theme on the rest of the page
3.) you take home a cool poster with a lot a talented peoples art on it…

This year for those who will be allow it.. we’re going to take some digital photos at the end of the night to put the posters up on the new PDX Drink and Draw site at www.portlanddrinkndraw.com! As always, if you don’t want to participate in the poster-ing you can still just come and enjoy the wonderful combination of comic people/sketching/and booze.

Come get into the Stumptown Spirit!!!

The event will be held, as usual, at Madison’s Bar and Grill at 1109 SE Madison St, Portland OR 97210. We have a table reserved upstairs, so come on up. 8.5×11 copy paper will be provided, please bring any other supplies you will want!.

Drink 'n Draw uh, tonight

2008-03-01T20:00:17Z

Sorry for the late reminder.

We’re having this month's Drink ‘n Draw of the year tonight, Saturday, March 1st, at Madison’s, at 1109 SE Madison St. at 8:00. We have a table reserved upstairs.

As usual, this event is open to all (assuming you’re old enough to go to a bar!) We will provide 8.5×11 copy paper, you’ll have to bring any other art supplies you’d like to have. It can be fun to have a themed page to hand around to everyone so you’ll end up with a fun jam poster at the end of the night, so think about that.

We’re shifting to the first Saturday of the month for this year, so we’re also announcing the next Drink ‘n Draw for April 5th. Mark your calendars!

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2008-02-01T07:33:28Z

Once again, late notice!

We're having the first Drink 'n Draw of the year this Saturday, February 2nd at Madison's, at 1109 SE Madison St. at 8:00. We've called ahead this time and we have a table reserved upstairs.

As usual, this event is open to all (assuming you're old enough to go to a bar!) We will provide 8.5x11 copy paper, you'll have to bring any other art supplies you'd like to have. It can be fun to have a themed page to hand around to everyone so you'll end up with a fun jam poster at the end of the night, so think about that.

We're shifting to the first Saturday of the month for this year, so we're also announcing the second Drink 'n Draw for March 1st. Mark your calendars!

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday! (NEW LOCATION)

2007-11-16T07:36:41Z

Because of Thanksgiving we're shifting earlier in the month! Will we stay here? Who knows?

Anyway, let's see what "2-Hog" Ryan Hill has to say about this month's d-n-d...

THIS SAT NIGHT IS DRINK AND DRAW!!!!

We have a new location we're trying out:

Madison's Grill

1109 SE Madison St

Portland, OR 97214
(click for a google map)

Starting at 8:00!!!

And for this session I was hoping to experiment with something some of us old time Sequental SCAD students used to do in college... a JAM POSTER SESSION!!! This will be optional of course, but if you wish to partake, just bring a standard Bristol sheet with something drawn in the center (a character, or a scene... preferably something simple.) Then everyone passes the board around and draws their version/interpretation of whatever you've drawn. At the end of the night you get to take home a piece with lots of cool peoples art on it. If not though than feel free to come and sketch or just hang out and drink and talk about whatever. Please spread the word to anyone you feel like as this is a totally open thing (they don't even have to draw... we get some of those non art folks all the time... it's fun to stare at them and make them feel weird.)

There you have it, straight from the 2-Hog's mouth. Sorry for the late notice, as usual.

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2007-11-02T20:17:32Z

Sorry for the late notice!

Since we never got our shinola together in October, we're scheduling an emergency Drink 'n Draw this Saturday the 3rd at 8:00. The usual location at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway in beautiful Portland Oregon. Bring pens and pencils and whatever you like, we'll provide 8.5x11 paper.

Tell your friends!

24 Hour Comics Day Is October 20th!

2007-10-09T20:46:04Z

Not Drink 'n Draw related, and in fact it might conflict with it, but everyone should have options:

The RCC and myself are helping organize a 24 Hour Comics Day event, the only official, public one in Oregon at the moment, which will be held in the library of Pacific NW College of Art on October 20th. The event will run from 10am on Saturday, October 20th until 10am on Sunday the 21st, and it's FREE and open to anyone and everyone who wants to participate. I think we had 30 people last year and we are working on creating space for even more this year. Some food, snacks, and coffee will be provided, but you'll have to bring your own art supplies, of course.

If you are interested, head over to http://www.pnca.edu/comicsday for more information about the event as well as information on how to register, just so we can get a feel for how many people might show up.

Even if you can't or don't want to participate, PNCA should open to the public until midnight on Saturday, and it'd be a nice pickup to see some friendly comic supporters during this otherwise hellish trial of the human spirit.

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2007-09-18T07:14:55Z

We're planning another Drink n' Draw this Saturday the 22nd at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway. It's going to be at eight this month instead of seven, so be aware of that change!

I'm also not going to be there, but Ragin' Ryan Hill is throwing the thing together this month. Everyone'll probably be in the back dining room, so come on in. If you haven't been before, everyone's real friendly.
8.5x11 paper will be provided, but bring anything else you're going to want.

Hey! It's august!

2007-08-16T23:03:57Z

So, um, Drink & Draw this saturday? Yes? Same bat-time, same bat-channel?

Drink n' Draw on Saturday the 21st of July!

2007-07-13T07:48:53Z

We're planning another Drink 'n Draw at the Rose and Thistle on 2314 NE Broadway for next Saturday the 21st at 7:00 PM. There's a link to a google map a few posts down if you want to look for it.

We'll provide 8.5x11 copy paper, anything else you need you'll have to bring yourself.

We've been getting a good turnout with a mix of pro artists and hobbyists! Come on down this month and check it out! Maybe someday I'll get around to posting the signin sheets we do every month.

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2007-06-21T06:23:01Z

Sorry for the late notice for this and the non-happening last month. I've had some health problems that've prevented me from putting this thing together.

However! We're planning another Drink 'n Draw at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway this Saturday the 23rd at 7:00. We'll provide 8.5x11 copy paper, anything else you need you'll have to bring yourself.

Come on into the back of the bar, we'll have a table back there.

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2007-04-18T19:50:08Z

We're having another Drink 'n Draw this Saturday the 21st, 7:00 PM at the Rose and Thistle. Here's a google map.

We'll provide 8.5x11 copy paper, but anything else you need you'll have to bring yourself.

Drink & Draw this weekend!

2007-03-30T16:58:16Z

Saturday night the 31st, Rose & Thistle, we'll try to get a big table. Let's plan for 7:00 again, it's a good time to start something!

I'm bringing my contribution to the Missed Connections anthology to work on, and some extra ads in case someone else wants to try one.

And we'll toast to all our absent friends, those unlucky souls who have been drafted to travel abroad to the wild, dangerous world of the Emerald City Comicon.

March Drink & Draw..?

2007-03-17T17:13:59Z

Is there to be a March D&D? If it's not too late may I suggest the 31st? I admit I'm biased toward that date, as I'd actually be able to attend...

Set the schedule!

2007-02-14T00:31:20Z

Whoops! I'm super late setting this schedule! Sorry!

So we'll be holding this month's Drink 'n Draw in the same place, at the Rose & Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway, at 7:00 on Saturday, February 17th.

I have once again not called ahead, so hopefully we'll be able to fit everyone again without trouble.

Bring your own supplies, but we will be providing 8.5x11 copy paper.

A good time is guaranteed* for all!

*good time not guaranteed

next Drink 'n Draw date

2007-02-03T08:41:41Z

So I figure we ought to decide when the next Drink 'n Draw meeting will take place. I haven't talked to "2-Hog" Ryan Hill about it yet, but I'm thinking of holding it at the same place as last time on Saturday, February 17th. Would that be okay? I'll talk to "2-Hog" tomorrow and we'll make final arrangements in the next couple days.
