[Badger]

oi oi kids, jimbo, what about far from the madding crowd, that might be good.
There is a nando's down st.clements way, down cowley road.
I will be about this saturday if you guys wana meet up, i'm sure me and jimbo will be here. We are meeting with lorenzo soon, so i'll say you guys said hi, unless you would like to be omitted from that little act of uk solidarity.
I'm sorry this is rambling, i had a very heavy weekend, almost DC heavy, but i'm not quite that hardcore.
Jimbo, drop by my house or shout at me on MSN.

[Quicksilver]

do u have to book for the open day?
Yup: http://info.uwe.ac.uk/ACES/visit.asp

[Dirty C]

Hey everyone.

Just to let you know, I'm involved with a nice wee crew that organises dance parties on a highly sporadic basis and we're doing it again for Halloween. As well as nominally DJing, I'll most likely doing the digipaint thing again and there should be plenty of fun to be had for all.

The great news is that it looks like I'll have a flat before then, and can maybe accomodate a body or two if any of you suckas feel like making the trip in.

And if you don't care, I'm sure your mates do, so let em know ;)

[yAdam]

Sounds cool! I'm going to a halloween party that weekend, either that day or the day before. I'll see when it is, but even if its the night before I dunno if i'll be able to handle another all nighter.. or half a nighter... or. bit of a nighter..:dad:

[lefran]

im in paris this halloween- disney fright night as ive already said but its still gonna be awesome!
Arg i booked my driving test today, not long now =]

[[void]]

HEYYYYY GUYS!!!

I finally have internet in the house, so ill be more active soon. Ive got a shitload of drawings and stuff thats going to take forever to scan to upload into the sketchbook. As soon as i have time ill have to have a read back, if i remember i saw something about a meet in oxford, is anything happening about that?

Anyway just thought i'd give the heads up. Christian that halloween do sounds cool, might have to stop by for that one.

[cartoonfox]

Hmm I've been invited to another halloween party that night... Bass breaks and house music? Doesn't sound like my cup of tea! ; ]
Where is it located? Maybe I can visit for a bit and see your digi paint-while-drunk skiillz!

All I really wonna do is dress up as a monster and get free candy. T'is all.

[Dirty C]

Elephant & Castle. Haven't decided what i'll be playing yet, btw..

[[void]]

Hmmmm the likelihood iof the massive sketchbook update is looking less and less likely because i can't find my damn sketchbook.

I have a horrible feeling i lost it when drunk, hopefully it will turn up but its not looking good.

[lefran]

urrgh
i have to get up at 4:30 am tomorrow to go to my cousins passing out parade ( army) in ...aplace beginning with W near reading...anyway its still to early grrr

[[void]]

WOOOO CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!!

Ive just found my sketchbook at uni in the studio, i must have left it there at the course do (with a painting that i had forgotten that i had done). So there should be a big update coming sometime soon.

[Dirty C]

Good man. You did a painting when you were drunk? Me and Kim did one of those, but Molly hasn't uploaded it yet...

[Mr Man]

Wahoo, It was cool meeting you peeps at the brizzle open day.
Look forward to seeing you folks again at Oxford ^^ but for now, I must draw *Wraps cloak over face and flys away like dracula*

[lefran]

urgh 12 hour shift = urgghhhhhhhhh so tired now >___<

it was so surreal when i finished though.
i go outside to get in my mams car as usual ( silver peugeot 307 estate) and it wasnt there so i go back in to ring to see where she is, and my step dad says shes outside
so i go look and shes waiting in the street this time and the only car there is this lush gunmetal grey 2 seater convertable MG
and its hers
sooooo nice

[DannySketch]

[Badger]

*cough* thunderdome *cough*

Seriously guys we haven't had a thunderdome for a while, maybe a norf vs. saaf again? I think it could be some serious fun.

Good to see/meet you guys on saturday. Hope your all enjoyed your day and free mugs. Naomi plays a mean piano people! take note!

[sketchling]

It's still £8 I think, but that runs out today. It'll be 10 or 12 after I think. Details are all here: http://www.fastoldman.com. I'll just be playing in the bar, so I'll be playing a range of funky shiite, nothing amazing, cause there's no monitors so you can't mix in there. The majority of the music will be breaks, with some electro and house. There's two main rooms, plus the bar area.

No, I very very much doubt anybody will get ID'ed. It's not that kinda place ;)

Shit I guess I better get practicing my speed painting!!

[Dirty C]

I still back the one-day thunderdomes. I reckon it's the only way you get people to actually submit when they say they're going to.

*edit: I might even have time for one tonight if anybody's keen..

PS: I've been mucking about with space marine designs for various reasons. Legs are a bit short, but any other crits welcome: and [url='http://toeslikefingers.com/gallery/marinedev02.jpg'here ('http://toeslikefingers.com/gallery/marinedev01.jpg'here[/url).

(the values aren't great, I think I'm sitting painting in the wrong light or something. Will fix tonight probably)

[lefran]

hazzah! i finally got my boss to sort out the 5th off for me, it took him seriously like 2 minutes to do
and he wouldnt do it before now

its unpaid but oh well

so yay i can come ^___^ naomi, shall we sort out tickets etc before long? hopefully theyll be cheaper if we do is sooner than later

[lefran]

random post, but i took these pics the other day so thought i would post them
this is literally a minutes drive away from my house
from the town bit,
just thought it was pretty to share

Good to see/meet you guys on saturday. Hope your all enjoyed your day and free mugs. Naomi plays a mean piano people! take note!

-B-

Haha, cheers ^_^ You should hear Fran play...really cool.
Fran: We need to have a moozik session like the ol'' days (well, like last year) - twas fun :) And yeah, would be best to sort out the tickets soon. I have to wait for the peeps at work to get their heads round things though now!! Usually they're really organised but it's been a bit hectic lately (probably because of Christmas coming up). Will let you know when I defo have it free.

A UK TD would be cool too. I might not take part this term though. Will see...

[[void]]

Fran nice snaps, its a shame they're not higher res.

Yeah I'm up for a uk t-dome, the course has calmed down a bit and need to get back into the swing of things. Plus if I get real lucky i could end up with a portfolio piece.

I finally finished the update/scanning marathon, it took fucking hours to scan and upload but I've put up most of my work up that ive done when i was computer/internet-less.

[lefran]

oh ,i have them higher resolution
i just resized them

[Kian]

Hey peeps. Ok, so I've really tried working out a way to get Oxford. Unfortunatley, I have no where near enough cash. [I'm really broke right now] And on the megabus alternative, I'd only have about 3-4 hours with everyone.
So, I hope you all have a top day [I know you will]

and DC bro, if I dont see ya before you go, i'll catch up with ya eventually man. Kick some yankee doodle ass in SanFran. :yayca:

[Quicksilver]

Aww noooo :( That's such a huge shame, Jon. We'll have to do a meet someplace inbetweeny sometime to make things a bit fairer.

Still gotta get the OK from work first, then I'll book the tickets. Been booking off quite a few days lately - hope they aren't pissed off with me, lol.

[lefran]

not as much as they will be with me
greater gwent symphonic winds has given dates, ive given them in in work but he still hasnt bothered to look at them. im going in today and telling him i need a yes or no by friday night/saturday morning. If he says no i might quit my job. ive basically had enough

and so have you all with my petty rants haha

[sketchling]

lefran : I loved yer last avatar...and whilst im sad its gone, I must say thats a really good replacement! ;)

[Eriboss]

hello.

I can't keep up with all you crazy kids but i will try my best.

1. Frannigan, tshirt is coming soon! I know I always say that, but as soon as I have this last bit of work out the way il finish up! don't worry hehe

2.Naomi, Tshirt will be done soooon also! Although I cant remember if we discussed what you wanted me to do on it, any ideas or shall i just go crazy? *twitch* catch me on msnsnsn to discuss heh

3. Some sort of thunderdome? yes please.

4. It appears that I WILL be coming to hOxford, I will be bringing the Wizard (Tenelaus) too cause we are having a paintathon at the castle that weekend. I think I am also bringing the Badger. Woot, this will be fun!

5. I think I read somethin about November 1st being CA INTERNATIONAL SELF PORTRAIT DAY (http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=79960&highlight=portrait+november), so i think we should put out a good UK showing, donchathink?

anyway, I think thats aboutit,

Cheers everyone, cya on the 5th!

Eri

[Hybridstar]

I'm in for a Thunderdome. Liked DC's suggestion to keep the time limit short. Maybe a week, or a weekend(fri-sunday night).

[Dirty C]

Yaaaayeee, Eri will be coming. Hey, given it's a Sunday, wanna do the same as last? Then I could muscle in on your paintathon :D

Keen for this self portrait thing as well.

[yAdam]

Awesome. Looks like lots of people are gonna be going on the 5th.

I'm definately going to be doing a a self portrait on the 1st and I'm pretty sure I said i'd be up for TD, just a bit busy until next week though, got some work to do, + I finally have my proper black belt grading on sunday!.. will be the last sunday I have to wake up at 6...!

[lefran]

kim- lol it was a sad moment but i felt it was time to move on ahaha and cheers
Eri- dont worry tis fine! dont feel pressured it doesnt matter when its done!

[Kian]

If its the same site, hit CTRL+F5

I hope you guys and gals like.
Peace
Jon

[Quicksilver]

I like veeeery much, Jon :D As said on MSN, it's a huge improvement from your last design; really slick, easy to navigate and loads quickly (for me, anyway).

Only nag is that thumbnails would be nice to at least get a lil jist of what we might look at.

~~Naomi xxx

[james]

sweet bit of web design there Jon, its easier to navigate than the last one but i found the actual navigation slower than the last, although the loading time for images was quicker. one of the mysteries of the universe. have to say i'm impressed and have something to aim to beat for my website. when i get round to writing it. ha.

[lefran]

rightyho

anyone care to start the ball rolling with oxford plans?

[[void]]

We will all go to oxford and meet at a certain time and then..........

[Quicksilver]

....chill out a bit, and raid whatever building holds the Da Vinci exhibition :) And keep donation boxes away from ch-...ristian because it contains small parts. ;P

Heehee

Gotsa new avatar btw - cheers, Fran!

[lefran]

yeah its cool! id say just rub out the bit on the far right at the top, theres a bit of extra line

[protect]

hey, im from ipswich, england, how are ye all :)

[Badger]

Hey Protect and welcome to the thriving CA UK community!

I believe thats the ashmolean (http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/museum_gfx_en/SE000388.html) then. I'd also recommend we look at a room of weapons and general cool shit at pitt rivers at some point. We'll see about time.
Um I need to know who's travelling by train and who's travelling by bus. And ensure you are arriving at the bus depo on the square.
Cheers guys.

Hey fran congrats on the car, I thought you might be interested I did a colour study of one of the photos you posted i hope you don't mind.

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=38877&stc=1&d=1161550321

its not great but i think i learnt a lot. Thanks for posting the photos.

[lefran]

ah its cool! =]

[lefran]

does anyone know any artists apart from Wes who merges sketches or other work? its for some artist research for college
ive done the work just have n research to base my work on or back it up with
which annoys me, coz im not trying to copy anyone
but anyway
does anyone know of any other artists?
can be a CA member

[aph]

Yeah, I know a few, but the only one I can think of off the top of my head is Shawn Barber.
Here's a linky:

Tatooed Portraits Series (http://www.sdbarber.com/pages/tattoo_icon_pg.html)

I think I have these saved as jpegs somewhere, not great sizes obviously, but if you want them let me know. At least 10 or more of those are merged.

grats on the car btw, I just inherit my ma's fiesta >_> *grumbles*

[lefran]

cheers! awesome link!

[Midnight]

Cool study, Adam!

Just checking in to say I'm still alive, and I've got a small SB update (still just studies atm, there's too much stuff I just don't understand yet to tackle anything more ambitious with any competency).

Mid.

[Dirty C]

Hello! No internet at my new place yet, sadly, but will have that sorted in a jiffy.

Protect - Ipswich, eh? Never mind, there's life on the other side of Essex :P

Ok, so now I've moved into my new place, I realise just how much *stuff* I actually have, and how much of it I'm not going to be able to take to San Francisco. Sooo.. there's a whole bunch of stuff, including art supplies, easels, and books I'm almost definitely gonna leave here. Also there's my toys, including the awesome Spawn Interlink 6 bastich which stands about 18" high and can't possibly be shipped. Though I did ship it here from Australia haha. Oh, and there's books books and more books.

Most of this stuff will be free to a good home sometime over the next few months. The only catch is, I ain't toting it round the place. So for my buds in London, you're more than welcome to come check out the new place and see what you can take away in your merry little fists. Also there's my old sketchbooks for you to laugh at. Seriously.

DC

[DannySketch]

free stuff?!?ooooo i am SO there:$

dont suppose you have an Xbox 360 just laying around amongst all that stuff?:wink: also i think like half my foundation class is now coming to ur halloween 'doo' mate:blah:

badger, i'll be going by train me thinks, i have no idea what station to book for though?and have we figured out a time yet?

also just really wanna thank ya all for the fantastic crits i got to my life drawing thread, i was in a really bad rut and you guys really did help me out so hybridstar, kian, sketchling cheers dudes, i am 'drawing' your replies as we speak, or type, or however that phrase translates to the internet....

[Dirty C]

The 360's goin with me, sorry :P

Badger, I guess it'll be train for me too.

[[void]]

Woah I love free stuff, its even better than cheap stuff. Just say the time and place ^_^
But in all seriousness I gotta say as cool as it is to get cool free stuff i feel like a bit of a vulture at the idea of taking someones stuff cos they're leaving.

I think that'll i'll get the train too, the bus is just too much hassle.

Right i've got to get to class im three hours late because i went to bed/sleep at 6.30am.

[Mr Man]

We got a list of whos going to oxford at all? Will be good fun!
Fortunatley for me its pretty easy to get there wahoo!

[james]

train wise you should go to oxford station. there is only one. from london that means leaving from paddington. depending on what time you're leaving and which train you catch you might have to change at didcot parkway.

coach wise you are looking to get a coach to the bus/coach station in gloucester green, oxford. that leaves from buckingham road and stops off various places on the way. you can find them all here (http://www.oxfordtube.com/tube_times.php)

er. from anywhere other than london the destinations are the same but coach wise i dont know what they're called and stuff.

hope that helps.

[Poison_art]

hey i'm from the uk county durham waaaaaaaaaay up north i'm new and very confused lol

[DannySketch]

Poison_art ha dont worry dude i have been here for about half a year now and i am still confused as hell :)

we're all talking about an oxford meet on sunday the 5th of november where we all generally meet up, sketch and laugh at badger.feel free to come along if u can get down there.

hey to protect as well, sorry missed ya out in me first replie :(

[Poison_art]

thansk danny sketch i would love to come to the meet but sadly i'm in college and i have work and stuff and cant really take time off coz i'm in the middle of my finial majour project and looking at uni's and my head is about to burst from all the Cr*p running around in it but i'll try and go to the next one at some point but being always skint and haveing a fat greedy cat to feed its kinda hard to have time for me lol anyways see yas

[cartoonfox]

Christian, me and Adam will probably come round on the weekend if that's cool. Check out your new place, do some arting and steal all your art supplies : ]

[lefran]

ah man

[Quicksilver]

Heya, Poisen, welcome to the UK home of madness :)

There's a link to info on the meet in my sig, though Chris hasn't updated it yet. Think I'm still banned from organising this one too :P

Fran: Hehe, the British Gwen ;P
I call dibs on the books Christian said he'd give me! Yeah....

[lefran]

yes let someone else do it for once! i would make a bit more effort this time, but i know nothing about oxford


sooooooo you oxford/bristol people
the torch is passed on to you =]

and just to clarify, the gwen stefani cover is annoying, so read it a la fiddler on the roof =]

[Badger]

The torch was already on me, i organise all the Bristol ones &#172;_&#172; Don't go saying i don't do anything, or i don't love you.

Right kids i need to sort out times. Bus depo is down at the train station end (loosely) train station is a bit out of town centre. But i'll chat to James about distances and stuff. And i need to chat to Eri.

Welcome poison art.

Fran, you actually have a higher rating than me in the sketchbook section :)
-B-

[james]

Chat to me? you never even return my phone calls... sniff.

[Poison_art]

ty all for the welcome i hope i'll make it one of the meets at somepoint in some way (thinking about stealing daddys motor bike)

[Helen]

a~~3D is very difficult!
haha

[aph]

Guys/gals: How much is the train compared to the coach? =_=, I'd love to come, just gotta make sure I get my last payslip through in time though.

Cooooleh, road trip!

[[void]]

DC - Um we could get up if you need but i generally avoid getting out of bed before 12, we have a half day on friday and a full day off tommorow if that helps.

To all the londoners out there, just got back from the hunterian museum at holborn and I would recommend it t everyone they've got some amazing stuff in there, plus its free entry. Heres a snap from one of the cabinets.

[lefran]

ok, but if you were to book them i probably wouldnt be able to pay you back right away
i dont get payed until about the 3rd i think it is. if not ill borrow money

[Mr Man]

Asgardian that place looks pretty damn cool!

[DannySketch]

adam indeed i agree looks very cool, and me art tutors given us thursday off to go visit exhibits, have to visit two 'on the list' (normal stuff such as the tate modern and britain, design musem etc.) but it would be cool to go there and sketch stuff also,

with that in mind any londeners free this thursday to go 'exhibiting'?.....does that sound wrong?i cant decide:x

Hey dirty_c - the UK meet information link on your sig is broken, there's a double http in there...

And Badger...I saw this - and thought of you...heh.

[Mr Man]

Hey uk peeps ive got a big favour to ask of you guys. Ive got this skull painting atm and its driving me crazy, Im stuck as to where I can continue, the whole thing is making me want to pull my hair out, of the hair that I have anyway.
Would really appreciate the help, Its in the second page of my sketchbook :teeth:

[DannySketch]

i lost my mother F&*%ING MOBILE!!

and its probally in a ditch with a 'your such a pratt' sign stuck on the screen and people crowding around it happily watching it ring and laughing at me!loads!

GRWHA!

just thought i'd keep all those with my mobile number in the loop as to why when you ring it next it might be a husky russian voice answering as apposed to my own delightful tones.

toodles

P.S GWRWHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!f*(k!!!!!

EDIT:Mr Man had a look at your skull studie, wish i could help dude but colours a mystery to me, good luck with it though

[[void]]

DC if saturdays bad for you sunday should be fine, if not then drop me or cai a line when youve got some free time.

Yeah i thought that hunterian museum was cool, theres loads of interesting stuff in there, i thought that it might be a possible stop for future meets.

[lefran]

there is seriously nothing good round where i live. that exhibit looked awesome, do you have any more pics?

[[void]]

Yeah ii've got plenty more i can upload them if you want, cai has like 60 aswell.

[Mr Man]

Awsome youll have to post them in the reference thread for future inspiration :)

[[void]]

I hadn't thought of that actually, I might do that.

[Dirty C]

Right, sig fixed. So what have we decided with Oxford so far? Looks like we're probably going to the da vinci exhibit, right?

Everyone who's coming, wanna pm me with 'coming to oxford' in the subject line please? I'll update the 3.0 thread.

My gig is this Saturday night, and I don't imagine I'll be home till 9am, as per normal with these things. So I'm thinking this weekend is probably out, sorry Cai and Adam. We'll sort something though, I'm getting a bit annoyed with all this no-art going on.

In fact it's my birthday soon (ask how old I'll be and I'll kill you) and I need to think of somethign different to do. I was thinknig of maybe trying to convince people to do some sort of arty shit, since that's what *I'd* really like, and after all, it is all about ME ME ME. Anyway, I'll keep thinking. Suggestions welcome.

Cheers
Christian

[Dirty C]

PS where are we meeting etc? Badger, you seem to be the one who's got the bestest info on this? PM me, dude.

[sketchling]

how old ARE you? :bashful:

:uzi: :dead: :uzi2:

anyways...now thats over with... I like the idea of that there arty thing of no fixed description. hey, I might even have a life soon, im nearly finished... 13th is d-day now. Will see about oxford still... gonna try make it but cant garuantee yet.

[Badger]

It says in his profile that hes 2005 years old so I presume he'll be 2006 ^^
You old bean you :P

[yAdam]

Starbucks is cool, I'm getting the bus into the centre, so I dont mind walking to meet people at the train or the bus depot if anyone's getting a coach.

Also, I have an interview coming up with free radical design next week, and I was hoping anyone could give me some good interview tips, and also any advice on printing out a portfolio... Or just stuff that they'd be expecting.. cheers! :)

[Mr Man]

Btw, Is the da vinci exhibition free entry? if not how much is it?

yAdam Hey man I dont know much about portfolios but what I do know that its important is to be very enthusiastic. There are several generic questions you gotta keep in mind too if you are asked them. I cant remember them all but I hope these help prepare you.

1 Why you want to work for them

2 What you think of their company and what makes their company different to others.

3 What you can do to benefit them

4 Example of when you have used your initiative

5 Example of working in a team to help solve a problem.

6 What made you successful in your last job (If relevant).

These are all I can think of at the moment.
But finally Remember strong handshake, smile,clean shaven etc, Good luck :teeth:

[Dirty C]

Mr Manley always suggests a lot of research into that particular company. Basically, suck up.

The url parsing in 3.0 seems to be stuffed. But the thread's updated anyhow. Keep sending me those confirmations please people.

(Since I'm moving to the states I have to learn to do silly things like calling everyone 'people' without feeling silly hehe. I suppose the alternative would be to call you all some other kind of animal, in England most likely 'rodents' with a kinda blackadderish accent. Ok so I had a fairly strong pint of Erdinger at lunch, but still, I think it needed to be said.)

[Mr Man]

Nice what you doing in the usa DC if you dont mind me asking?
I think im turning american from this site, Im starting to say man and dude alot more often :S

[Poison_art]

Nice what you doing in the usa DC if you dont mind me asking?
I think im turning american from this site, Im starting to say man and dude alot more often :S


I started saying dude ans man alot when I was living down south in dorset and was passing through london every other week to vist my parents everynow and then the accent I picked up while living down there and the words I used will creep back its freaky but annoys the hell outta my little sister so I like it all the more!

[Dirty C]

I say man and dude cause I'm a kiwi. A lot of the people I meet inevitably start saying it :)

I'm moving to sf - I've applied for the ca.org school, but I always intended to mvoe to SF after London anyhow.

[Eriboss]

just come back from spending a horrible week in hospital, i miss anything super? we got a list of people goign to oxford yet ?

Eri

[Mr Man]

Wow awsome Dc, I hope it works out for you, some day in three or so years time I hope Ill be heading over that direction too. Just hope I can afford it :(
Id probably learn more in a day at that school than I would in a whole year at college hehe.

Eriboss Hey, hope your feeling better, Nothing serious I hope.
Seems like we have quite a chunky list of people, Dc has got the list in his siggy. More wouldnt hurt though :)

Theres that self portrait thing too for november 1st in CA land.

[mrdigs]

Theres that self portrait thing too for november 1st in CA land.

sounds interesting, where can I find that ?

[Dirty C]

Eri, what happened??

[lefran]

eep, hope your ok now

[Eriboss]

thanks everyone, yeah im getting there, i had an epileptic fit in the car so ali called an ambulance and then i had 2 more in hospital so they kept me in for a week and poked me with sharp things and flashed lights in my eyes. its ok tho now, I had nocternal epilepsy before and this is just a biproduct of not taking medicine for it (under drs orders, cheers for that) so now am back on drugs and getting back to normal woot.

[Dirty C]

What's nocturnal epilepsy?

And sorry to hear that dude, sounds rough.

Check your PMs

[lefran]

im guessing its that it just happens at night when your asleep?

[Midnight]

Hope you're feeling better now, Eri.

[Mr Man]

sounds interesting, where can I find that ?

It should be a sticky at the top of the lounge :)

Hey DC sorry we didnt make your gig, i figured that i could turn up watch a bit of painting and go home and get the early night i desperately need. I hope it all went well, i ended up going to the pub and spending too much anyway.

Eri i hope alls well.
adam

[lefran]

Eeee im off to paris tomorrow , will be awesome!
i still have to pack though haha, but ive been in work since 12-8 so at least i have a small excuse
sooo can someone update me on wednesday night about whats going on with oxford please ? :)
tarrrr


Fran

[Dirty C]

That's cool Adam, it went ok, but I was just painting so furiously and changing stuff all the time cause I didn't want people to get bored. Had sweat pouring down me at one poitn actually, and gave up too early cause I couldn't see anyone watching. Turned out later a few people were, and I just couldn't see them. Teach me to be impatient haha

The night was really good anyway. Much thanks to senor D.Sketch for coming along, with another fellow schoodent from his gaff. Cheers mate, good to see you :)

So, Oxford thsi weekend, eh? Have to try and get some sleep on Saturday then. I've said a meeting time of around 11. That still right, Badge? And if anyone's been left off the attendees list, let me know. My sig's fixed now, so you can follow the link there.

[Eriboss]

Happy Halloween!!

:evilmustache:

[Badger]

Hippo Hollywoon!!
11 sounds good too me.
I expect too see a lot of pictures from fancy dress parties.

[yAdam]

HAppy Halloween!!!

hehe, nice avatar josh .:)

I'm gonna try and get some photos of the party I went to saturday. Some pretty interesting costumes going on.....

[Molly]

DIRTY_C!!! YOUR PM BOX HAS EXCEEDED ITS CAPACITY!!!

Sorry for the slow reply, the internet is down at my flat, and its difficult to get near a cpu at school!

YES - The Art Academy rents the studios out, and YES I'd be well up for an all day life drawing session. Also, if anyone wants to, they can stay at my place too...

My mobile is 07932-907-779 - BUT I have been cut off, so I CANT recieve calls or texts for now, until I pay my bill!

Hope your well, and life is good!

Mollyxxx

[Dirty C]

It's not full anymore. I don't have internet at home just yet either - hopefully by the end of this week.

I've penciled something else in, but I'll get in touch about the art academy.

x (that's for alla youse by the way you sexy bunch)

[DannySketch]

haha yes DC did very well on the whole digi painting thing, really is crazy stuff, he draws like 50 images all over each other and it changes all the time, i was watching a pyscho angel thing at one point, then i quite innocently went to the toilets to hurl just a little bit, came back and it was this mother of a huge face, very cool stuff, wish you'd gone on for longer, i took pictures on me mates cam, see if i can get hold of them.

as far as oxford goes, whose going from london?any1 planning on traveling up together?can i tag along?

also the art studio whole day drawing thing would be wicked and i would love to get in on that.

happy halloween to all

*cough*mwhahaha*cough*

[trev]

Molly - Ide be up for an all day life drawing thingy! When is it? I might actually be able to go now that work isn't so hetic!


:nintendo:

[Quicksilver]

Happy Halloween!! :needle:

Looking forward to the Oxford meet~ What time-ish do you guys think you'll be leaving? So I know when to book the ol' tickets for.

~~Naomew

[aefx]

I'm interested in coming out to Oxford but haven't been to any of the ca meetups before, would it be weird to come as a complete random? Or are there usually a few people who are not regular attendees?

[Quicksilver]

aefx: Feel free to join us! Just bring a sketchbook and pencil and you're set ;)

[LEEBLEEB]

Hello fellow UK people ya.

[mrdigs]

Hi LEEBLEEB.

Thanks Mr Man, don't think I'm gonna get time to submit anything but I'm lookin forward to seeing everyones work.

aefx - Oxford's gonna be the first meet I've made it to as well so you won't be alone on that front !

[Dirty C]

aefx - randoms are always welcome - big meets tend to have around a 30% random attendance3, one or two of whom might stick around in the long haul. We're happy to have people along once or as many times as they like :)

Danny - I wish I'd gone longer as well. I couldn't actually see anybody lokoing from where I was though, and I was mega uncomfortable on that roof. The old self confidence I guess :S If I ever do it again I'll just knuckle down and make sure I do a few solid hours. Honestly though, I was really sweating it, trying to keep going without getting too boring!

[Dirty C]

Oh, it's self portrait day too. I might even be online tonight, not sure.

[Hybridstar]

Have a great Oxford meet guys and gals, major bummer that I cant make it(Ali's dads 60th b'day):( :( .

The full day life drawing would be cool if it fell on a weekend. Even though i get a little chance to do some whilst teaching i'm always on the lookout for a good full day sesh. Keep us posted Christian/Molly.

Oh and welcome all newcomers.:yayca:

[sketchling]

as it seems like i have run out of stuff to do, I think I will be there on saturday. Or at least some corpse-like immitation of my former self will be going along... my mind is a hovercraft full of wheels.

roll...roll...roll...

[Dirty C]

kim. It's On Sunday.

[Quicksilver]

Nokia 7210i and Sony Ericsson k300. Gotta find them and the chargers first, mind, haha.

Btw, do you guys want me to bring banh bao? There's quite a few of us going...and not to sound selfish but I don't particularly want to carry them around all day, so if you don't take 'em near the beginning (when we're chillin'/sketching in Starbucks) then I'll hand them to Christian or something since he loves them so much :P

[cartoonfox]

Weee I just booked my tickets for me and Adam, we're on the same train as Christain and Kim, leaving at 9:28am.
Can't wait, should be fun.

Peace

[james]

i would love banh bao. :teeth:

[Eriboss]

Btw, do you guys want me to bring banh bao?

Eriboss wants his banh bao!!

<3

hehe

[Mr Man]

*falls off chair from the thought of banh bao* <3

Seems like loads of people are coming wahay! Starbucks wont see what hit them.

Btw for those of you that havent met me yet ill be wearing my avatar t-shirt :teeth:

[yAdam]

I don't think we could call it a proper meet without banh boa ;)

[asoir]

can't make it this time, sorry

[lefran]

hey naomi, thanks but ill buy one on monday as i have extra discount again in work,
and yes ! do bring banh bao!
what time will you be in the station tomorrow?

[Quicksilver]

In reply to all the pro-banh baoer's, I give you this....

In the making! ;P

Note: For anyone who's wondering what we're on about, banh bao is the Vietnamese name for steam buns. :)

Also, for tomorrow:
floral case = bbq pork
plain case = pork (no noodles or eggs involved this time - purely 'cause I kinda sprung it at her in short notice ^_^;; So be grateful!!)

[cartoonfox]

They sure seem to be popular. You should charge : ]

[lefran]

mmmmmmmmmmmm ^__^

[Quicksilver]

They sure seem to be popular. You should charge : ]
My mum's kinda thinking about setting up a stall/shop. If that happens, these babies would go up for 50p each, heehee. :3

[lefran]

[DannySketch]

Sunil: See you there ;P

Dan: Hehe. They're so yummy~

[Mr Man]

Weee, should be at the station at 11:15, see yall soon :teeth:

[Dirty C]

nice one, sunil. glad you could make the effort and post hahaha

[Tomato]

I hate to be a shit, but i'm canceling my journey to the meet as i've just got home after being mugged on my way back from work. I've had my house keys stolen, but thankfully i was able to wake my mom when i got home. I'll have to sort all this out as well as having to buy new locks for the house. Sorry guys :(

yes, i'm ok. No injuries. I'm glad i studied Tae Kwon Do :)

Yes, i'm really fucking pissed off too, cuz i can't come to the meet, and cuz i've been mugged.

Don't wanna talk anymore......

[[void]]

John dude sorry to hear about the mugging.

Right im just about to go to bed for a good 2hour sleep before tommorow, so im gonna be dead on my feet hopefully some proplus will kick me into gear and i can have a kip on the train. >.<

[Badger]

Sorry to hear about that John.

Great meet today guys, so good to see you all! Hope the evening went well and you all got home safe and sound :)

Thanks naomi for the food!
See you all soon.
-B-

[yAdam]

John, thats shit dude, good to hear you do tkd though :)

Great to see you all again ... Far from the madding crowd is an awesome pub, with a suprisingly nice burger! Hopefully we'll all meet up before xmas, and party in London or somewhere where there might be a party............

Drawing the t-rex was fun!

[koshime]

[Quicksilver]

Hey guys!!

John: Sorry ot hear that :( Good thing you know how to protect yourself, hehe. Hope things shape up.

Twas *great* seeing you all again - I really loved it!! Hope everyone got back safely and had a good time too.

Also, my mum's happy you all liked the banh bao. :) And said you'll all have to stop by sometime when she gets her stall/shop up and running, heehee.

[lefran]

great to have seen everyone again! just got in now, naomi and i had to take 3 trains home!, ( why couldnt i live in bristol or somewhere...)
ill update my SB tomorrow

[Tomato]

Asgardian, Badger, yAdam + Quicksilver - Thanks guys :( I've had a pretty shaky day after what happened last night, but my wrist has been steady enough so i can draw still. I'll be fine and there ain't nothing thats gonna stop me from missing the next meet!!!!!!!!

[Mr Man]

Was great meeting yall, really wish I could have taken some of those skeletons home! The museum was full of great inspiration, especially for creature design :teeth:
We'll have to arrange another meet soon.

[james]

great meet guys. hope you liked my home town. its pretty. kudos to dc who managed to spend the whole day without running into anything...

[lefran]

well I lost my balance but regained it.
i looked and i was right next to the donations box, i think it was sucking me in


i have a new phone number as i lost my last phone, feel free to add it :
07794770719
if i get phone calls at 3 in the morning you iz wel getten beatens

[james]

[lefran]

you know i would beat you up too

[sketchling]

Have updated my sketch thread with the sketches I was messin with. will post that random guys details if anyone is interested....dunno what he was on about!

:)

[Kian]

Erm, theres the international comics show con in Birmingham on the 9-10th of dec everyone. Our very own Staz Johnsons gonna be there. Looks pretty interesting.

http://www.thecomicsshow.co.uk/

[Dirty C]

Yeah, give us that guy's details, Kim. Might be worth shooting him a line.

Staz Johnson actually does comics?

[koshime]

what guy?

[sketchling]

The Guy's name was David Kirke, He is a patron of the arts he says and is a good friend of a lawyer artist who might mumble mumble cant remember great cider though.

His e-mail is thedsc(a)hotmail.com (anti spamspamspamspamspamsapmspam!!!)

I cannot remember what he was on about.... but he seemed interested in artworks. and was having a long conversation about writing e-mails taking up a lot of his life and stuff. If I remember rightly.

[DannySketch]

Yeah, give us that guy's details, Kim. Might be worth shooting him a line.

Staz Johnson actually does comics?

yeah he recently got the marvel deal to do the King Pin comic,

that would be kinda cool to go to for the next meet?

[mrdigs]

the usual slow response from me - my head's still buzzing from sunday, gotta thank everyone for all the advice and obviously quicksilver for the banh bao ! great to meet you all...hopefully see you all again at the next one.

[Kian]

yeah he recently got the marvel deal to do the King Pin comic,

that would be kinda cool to go to for the next meet?

Yeah, I'm gonna try get there as long as my money troubles work out:dead:
Funny thing is, its almost equal distance between naomi and fran, the london crew and my northern self! Ideal :D

And, Asguardian Adam, I put some thumbnails up in the ol SB bro.
And Danny, Thanks for the bump mate :yayca:

[Quicksilver]

The comic con in Birmingham would be soo ideal, AND we'd get to meet funky-haired Staz! :D There's no chance in hell of me getting there on Saturday....and I'm unsure about Sunday 'cause seriously, I've booked sooooo many off lately.

Will see...:S;;

[lefran]

im not bothering even asking

[sketchling]

ill be home, in Cape Town. YEEEAHHAAAW, cant wait.

[aefx]

Hello, this is a delayed response from me as I've just moved and there's no internet connection at the house yet. I just wanted to post up that I had fun last Sunday. Unfortunately I had not slept the night before as I was out in Brixton listening to good music til 6am. So apologies if I was less than talkative or a bit too quiet. Thanks to the people who were nice enought to talk to a complete stranger. Definately looking forward to the next meet.

[sketchling]

hahahaha... man. this site rocks : http://www.threadless.com/product/261/What_Would_Macgyver_Do

[Dirty C]

Hm, that's the last weekend before the san fran workshop.... not 100% sure if i'll make that or if i'll have a million other things to be doing just then.

Great to meet you AEFX (James) and Mr Digs (um.. can't remember your real name, sorry!). Nice to meet two people with oddly similar stories to my own - each in your own way :P

[james]

mr digs is neil.

[mrdigs]

yup, that's me - was good chatting to you (that goes for everyone else as well !)...lookin forward to putting some of that colour theory into practice, cheers.

gotta get some internet sorted at home - i'm still trying to get round and look at everyone's sketchbook updates !

birmingham comic thing sounds interesting too, if there's gonna be a few people going i'd be up for that.

[Dirty C]

I'm doodling too much right now.

Who's up for one last thunderdome?

[yAdam]

I'm up for it. Tonight? or a longer one?

[[void]]

I'm up for a 'dome. I would prefer a quick one though. I've got a lot of uni work too.

[Dirty C]

Proper one, I was thinking. Come on you lot, where's all the enthusiasm from the weekend??

[yAdam]

cool, I didn't know what was going on with what was suggested on sunday.

So, we still going to have 1on1 matches with another group? or have it only for the UK? I'm fine with either, and also easy about how long it should last.. Maybe 2 weeks is a good length? As for the topic, i'm not sure, but I think some people had a couple of ideas.......(?)

[Mr Man]

The comic thing sounds interesting, though is there a price to get in? Ive had a look around and I cant find much info on the site :nohope:
Brum is real close to me and john so if we are lucky we can tag along.

[[void]]

Sorry i thought that it was just a mini one against each other. I don't quite know whats going on.

[lefran]

for an idea maybe use of of the suggestions for the weekly challenges that doesnt get used, theres usually some good ones there

[sketchling]

im game...im in a painting frenzy at the mo... :) updated my sketchbook with something thats... kinda a milestone for me I think. I recon the dome theme should be something about a journey, farewell or exodus since DC is flyin away soon :(

btw DC one last thunderdome??? dude.. its only an ocean...this forum laughes in the face of such tiny puddles. mwahahahsploosh

[cartoonfox]

*cries*

... I promised myself I wouldn't cry... :' [

[koshime]

when's the blooming send off date again?? hate to see DC go off.

[Hybridstar]

I'm game for a TD and think that Kims suggestion about a journey is pretty fitting. A longer one would suit me better.

[koshime]

well then, lets dome soon then. a one day event perhaps

[Dirty C]

If we squared off against another group again, who would it be? If we vcould get a decent list of participants, a 'uk vs the world' would be quite fun :) Just difficult ot get people enrolled first, without a valid challenge decided.

[Eriboss]

Eriboss is always game for a bit of good ol' fashioned wholesome bloodthinrsty thunderdomery, dammit you lured me out of hiding.

[Dirty C]

Yaaaaayyyy!!!

[mrdigs]

Haven't done a thunderdome yet so i'm up for this, a longer one would be better for me too cos things are a bit manic lately !

[yAdam]

How about we make a general thread in the challenge section? Just say its either the UK vs 'other country / state' or UK vs The World, and just see who's interested in the challenge.... Or if anyone from another country is secretly browsing the UK thread they could post in here and tell us they're up for the TD....

Its going to be easy to sort out matches once we've got participants, we could say something like a minimum of 8 or 10 per country? What does everyone think?

[Badger]

Okies bitches i'm in, though i don't have to time, well i could always go out even less, heh. How about UK vs. scandanavia? I'll see if i can get lorenzo! in.
-B-

[yAdam]

Scandanavia sounds good!

[koshime]

any reason why scandanavia?

[DannySketch]

i am also in

[Dirty C]

I like scandinavia! bjorn, Fellah - hey, who would we convince Andrew Ley to come out for, if we could?

[Badger]

any reason why scandanavia?
