Galway Pub Scrawl #97 - Helen's Hedgehog is our Master now!

Hey all - one quick update: The next date for Laydeez do Comics has been set for the 30th of November in Dublin - make sure to check them out and drop in if you're interested in all things comic and are about Dublin on the day.

Here's pics from tonight - I'm working in the morning, so I'll give text/context when I have time! Ciao for now!

24 hour comic day follow-up - get your comics here!

So to follow up on 24 hour comic book day, here are the entrants that I have scanned copies of so far!

Brian Naughton - Comic Lo-Res Comic Hi-Res

Liam Naughton - Comic Lo-Res - Comic Hi-Res

I think these all work. Google Drive can confuse me sometimes. Let me know in the comments if they don't! More comics from all the participants as I have them! Huge thanks to everyone who came again, all the guys in 091 labs & to the staff at iSupply! (especially Mo).

So, we survived the 24 hour comic day over the weekend, somehow. I'm going to produce a PDF of all the pages as soon as possible, featuring all the pages I can get from myself, James Newell, Brian Naughton, Liam Naughton, Declan Carroll and all the others I can gather together.... thanks to all. Special thanks to 091 labs for hosting us, as always it makes a great venue for projects.

Updates:

Ash linked to the "Wearable Art Show" - an upcoming Art event that still has submission calls if you want to look into it.

Alanna let us all know that Galway Game Jam #3 is on in the Aras na MacLeinn this Saturday the 12th of October. If you like the idea of making computer games in a super compressed time, or even just calling in to see what everyone is up to, go call in!

Jay has been sculpting and will probably be sculpting more! I think he sold his first head, but you should keep an eye peeled cos he tends to sell his stuff cheap. :)

And Roisin Cure came to join us at the last Pub Scrawl and drew this lovely live sketch of Pub Scrawl in action! -

Chuck pointed us towards this micro-documentary (pun intended) about the making of Jon Hopkins music videos - compulsive viewing!

You can get an Android app that mimics the Oblique Strategies deck for those times when you are creatively blocked.

The Technician from our department at Art College is based over in Hong Kong now and has an Instagram account filled with amazing Macro photographs of insects and arthropods - check it out.

Ania pointed us towards the kickstarter for the Masters of Anatomy book - looks amazing!

Jason Rainville outlined what he thinks of as a regular "study schedule" for Art - hardcore.

This is Colossal featured these amazing cut newspapers that become like amazing lace from Myriam Dion -



Here's a tumblr post with some great approaches to figure drawing outlined on it.

David Kassan had this great History of Painting timeline over on his website. Really interesting to see all the overlaps!
