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!
!
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!

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…

(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!!!

We’ve scheduled the next Portland Drink-N-Draw for Saturday, April 5th at 8:00.
We have a special activity this month:
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!.
Welcome to the new site for the Portland Drink-N-Draw!
I’m still working to get this site up to full functionality, but when it’s finished this site will be a place where we can all post our drawings, sketches, and jam comics from the get-togethers. There should be a place over to the right where you can register, and after I grant your new account author status you will be able to upload images and write posts. All posts will be cross-posted to the LiveJournal group drinkndrawpdx. Posts there, however, won’t show up here.
You can also sign up for our mailing list from the front page to be notified by email when we schedule another get-together.
