Calling all Vancouver Artist's

[sylver]

WHAAAAAT?

really,there was a sketchcrawl today? I thought it was next saturday...:dad:
sorry everybody,I missed it,I'm in calgary at the moment,eating alot and gaining alot of weight. Anyways,I'm gonna be there for sure next sunday...:yayca:

yo...happy thanksgiving y'all:android:

yo raizor,rest up man,I know you work hard...get some well deserved rest...

sylver,hope you don't too much of a hangover. Take care dude...

peace to all in the sketchgroup!!!!!

You dont even know dude, i got drunk with the old man after work, like ten beers, then like just as im sobering up my buddy comes over and hes like get your effin coat we're goin partyin! needless to say i got tanked and rawked out to pink floyd for the whole night =D

[2100]

Did I say 7th? :p

[Raizor]

Seems everyone is partying in their own way.

Anyways, I am definitly up for the Sketchcrawl this coming Saturday (Oct 14).
I will try to get the materials to the group this weekend. I will be giving out CD's instead.

I recommend downloading the tutorials on a very fast connection. (School, work) from Vertex Monkey

Link:

http://www.vertexmonkey.com/tutorials_general_modoFeatures.php

I was busy this Sunday helping my landlord de-weed our back yard.

[2100]

So our next Sketchcrawl is this Saturday, we should do a little planning. I want to get a lot more sketching done this time, we should be sketching our way from location to location instead of walking and then sitting. Any suggestions for the general area though? Stanley Park? Kits area?

[Raizor]

I second Stanley Park, weather permitting.

Secondary location: Coal Harbour/next to The Mill Bistro can walk to Stanley Park too.

Address: 1199 West Cordova St. (North foot of Bute, on the waterfront)

Third Location: ?

[R'john]

hey guys,

for the third location,what do you think about the inside of a church. There's a cathedral on the corner of dunsmuir and richards...I'm sure they'd be ok with it,we'd just have to be respectful and not get loud or anything.

anyways,I'll be there at the meetings on saturday and sunday I think...lets get drawing...:blahblah:

just not the bad parts of gastown or hastings...if you guys go there,I just can't go there..to crazy for me...:dad:

[Raizor]

The church sounds interesting. No nudes drarings. :(

As for East and West Hastings, I worked in those areas. It is not a good idea to go down there unless you are escorted by police, especially at late afternoon and night. Lots of needles, razors, condoms, urine, etc. Smells nasty too.

Any other suggestions for locations?

[R'john]

maybe one month,we can go to the zoo or aquarium...or maybe if they have a cool exhibit,we can go to a museum. Also,what about north van? Just throwing ideas out there...

peace y'all:}

[Raizor]

I won't be able to come. I'll be working late from Friday afternoon till early Saturday morning. It's the last day of FX shooting. Burn baby burn, hint, hint.

I will make it for Sunday morning. I was planning on telling a Production Assistant I work with, know about our group. He wants to learn oil painting.

My boss is also interested. Him and his wife are artists/musicains. He is a great guy, kinda like a hip grandpa. He may join us at a meeting if he can get away from work.

I will see you peeps on Sunday. I will try to bring a long the "tools". Nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

IRjohn - North Van? It might be a good idea later on when we are a little more established as a group.

Bus service on Sunday might work against us, especially people from Langley and Delta.

North Van would have to be a Sketch Crawl event, with detailed trip plans. Bus fare, maps and bus routes, lunches, etc.

I like the museum idea. Or even the Vancouver Art Gallery.

[2100]

Actually, why don't we meet at the VAG this Saturday? Then we can work our way down to English Bay and eat at that cool burger place on Denmen.

Sorry to hear that you can't make it this Sat, I'll see you on Sunday then.

[Raizor]

Great news. I will be able to make it. I found out our call time is in the afternoon and we will be shooting for 6-8 hours and paid for 15.

What time should we meet up at the VAG? I want to do some drarings!

Call me if anything changes! Please.

[2100]

10:30 am @VANCOUVER ART GALLERY - FOUNTAIN SIDE

[Raizor]

Thanks for the update. I might make a Loomis run, will call you if I am late.

[2100]

Reminder: Make sure you check the weather for Saturday, and regardless of what it says, be prepared for rain anyways and be sure to dress warmly.

[R'john]

Hey dudes,

if I can make it,I might be a bit late. I gotta go pick up a reserved copy of process recess (http://www.processrecess.com/)at the comicshop on west4th. I've been looking for a copy of this for so long,and I can't let this one get away from me. So maybe I'll be on time or an hour late. I'll call you 2100 to see where you guys are...your number is 604-339-8181 right?
:confident

later y'all

[sylver]

sorry dudes, but i cant be here for sunday.. helping my uncle move(i would try to get out of it but my folks wont let me. I hope this whole thing doesn't fall apart by next weekend though, because ill be able to come then.

[Raizor]

Fun times.

Perverted old man, R'john letting loose,finally :) , Raizor (Sunny letting loose and creeping people out, as usual).

Hope to see you peeps at Blenz on Sunday at 11am or 12 pm.

Bring Raingear and warm clothes please, as we may do location sketching. Chinatown?

Speaking of Chinatown, how about doing a Sketch Crawl there for the next session. R'john's recommended it.There is cheap food, and a art shop that sells Chinease paintbrushes.

Anyone who is not able to make it, will have to buy the group coffee next time they show up! Yes, this means Justin and Slyver. Kidding, maybe. ;)

I'm planning to move to Vancouver in the somewhat near future. Can I join the artist party/group whatever thing when I get there? Anyone feel like sharing their views of Vancouver with me?

Hello.

I just found Fattkid's post. He's got some interesting stuff.

That one with the women Rjohn drew is really beautiful.

[JustinBeckett]

Your more then welcome to join Beckerda!

Whos the old dude in the photos guys? It looked like he had a sketchbook??

[Raizor]

He's a old time illustrator. He did artwork before he was replaced by computer.

Nice guy, a little deaf in one ear. We met him at Tim Hortons on Alberni and Thurlow, on Saturday.

[R'john]

he was into sara...;)

but he was a nice guy. Did you notice he carried a gun? I just hope he isn't expecting us this saturday.:(
anyways,I had a great time again guys. I really enjoy hanging out with artists...

anyways justin,you have been missing too many meets. So,I called your boss to complain,and we agreed that you're fired...hehe,work hard man,it sounds like you got a cool job...just come to a meet when you got time.

Sylver,where were you dude? We were drinking hard on sunday,it was open bar at this one place. You should have been there:wink:
Same with you dude,no worries,just come when you can.

Julianna,haven't met you yet,but you're still welcome to hang out and draw with us anytime...

John,thanks man. Hope you're feeling better...

beckerda-hi,you're definitely welcome to join us.:confident
as for my views on vancouver...its not my favorite place,especially during winter...I'm sure berlin must be much more exciting...the summer here is nice though. it all depends on what you're into. I'm sure there are many who love vancouver,as for me,I'd rate vancouver a 7.4 out of 10. There is a krispy kreme within driving distance though...so if you love that,then vancover is great.;)

oh yeah,you guys that didn't come,missed the borsct lady. The happiest lady ever...


www.keithandthegirl.com

[asahi]

This is Sarah.

The borscht lady rocks, and the old guy wasn't too bad until he started getting flirty. (ick.) Good times, good times. Also, the idea of a Chinatown sketchcrawl is really great. Any ideas roughly on when the next sketchcrawl will be?

[JustinBeckett]

Shit, i hope i can make that china sketch crawl, i wouldnt mind drawing some china buildings, or some dead pigs/chickens hangin outside china shops.:P

[2100]

After the meet this Sunday, I'm going to this thing:
https://id408.van.ca.siteprotect.com/brokenpencil/canzine/index2.php

Anyone interested can come with ;p

[Raizor]

Not really sure when we will head to Chinatown for the Sketch Crawl. Maybe in another two weeks.

I personally would like to get a larger, consistant group going first, and then put together another crawl.

As for those who did not attend the Sketch Crawl and Sunday session, I bought the peeps food. Suckers. :) MMmmmmmm, goulash and baked potatoe.

Anyways, I went to help out my landlord with his business. Audiolab does testing at Vancouver Film Studios. Hehe. I was helping people with forms, so the technician could do the testing. I was at the Alien Versus Predator SPFX (Special Effects) workshop and at the third set that was under construction.

Sorry, I did not see any Aliens or Predators walking around. Just Teamsters and other not important people. I should of signed up for Production Assistant work but I heard that it was a SNAFU (Situtation Now All F**KED UP) at the studio. Not enough staff at all the departments.

Asahi - Thank goodness you posted.

I got the "goods". I will bring them next session. I don't have enough "goodies" to burn, so you may have to share. Justin won't need the "goodies". Only Asahi and 2100 will need to share the "goods".

[2100]

I forgot we already had one:

[Raizor]

I'm bored. I will be doing my own Sunny's Sunny Sketch Crawl Saturday. I plan on going to Stanley Park.

Afterwords, I plan on going to Tim Hortons on Alberni and Thurlow.

[Raizor]

Fure sure.

I plan on being there too. Saturaday will be also on the agenda, if anyone wants to join me. I really need to take some reference pictures of Chinatown. I plan on going to Chinatown instead of Stanley Park.

Feel free to join in. I feel alone. Sniff, sniff.

[R'john]

you know what sunny,I was gonna join you...but I caught a cold. So I'm not gonna be able to spend alot of time outdoors,so I'll try and see all of you on Sunday...

hopefully...

[Raizor]

Sorry to hear that Rjohn.

Almost sounded like you were pulling a "Justin", hehe. :)

Well. No more takers. No prob.

I will perform voodoo tomorrow night on those that won't be showing up. (Paints face, puts on straw skirts, lowers lights and starts poking "Effigies" (dolls) of artists.

[R'john]

hehe,nah,I'm really sick...not soooo sick,but I have a stuffy nose and sore throat. Does anyone know if buckley's pills work? I'm taking those for the first time. Hope they work. Only time I'll be out tomorrow will be to go to the doctor,and return some clothes I bought...other than that,I'll be home resting...:yayca:

[2100]

I think I'll stay home today and get some stuff done, have fun Sunny!

R'john, we'll bring you a blanket and chicken soup for Sunday :D

[Raizor]

Try some ginger tea. Boil some fresh ginger, steep for 10 minutes, add some honey, sip. It will burn, but it will help clean your insides out. Like a body ennema.

[R'john]

thanks guys...I'll try that tea tip...as for sunday,I'll be there...I'm feeling better with the buckleys. I gotta get out of the house today though,I just remembered the big sale at the comicshop on west 4th...

hopefully its not too cold out...


http://www.thecomicshop.ca

www.keithandthegirl.com
best podcast around

[Raizor]

It was amazing. Attendance was 100%. Yeah for me. Go Sunny, go Sunny, who's your daddy?

Anyways, I got some great photos I will be adding to the "Vancouver Photo Reference" DVD I plan on making for us to use.

If you all have any pics, let me know, I would like to include them. I want to fill at least one DVD, however, I only want to burn Un-Edited photos. Please burn them to a CD/DVD and I will do the rest. It will take a while to amass the photos, but I want to start ASAP.

Cheers, I will be at Blenz tommorow, I plan on bringing a new member. She was not able to attend two weeks ago. Hopefully I can meet her at Columbia.

[2100]

I'm brining ONE HUNDRED new members tomorrow! :D

[R'john]

I might bring myself...I'm feeling a bit better. There wasn't that much left at the comicshop. I didn't see any books that I thought would be worth buying. I did pick up a new sketchbook though. Also went to oscars on the way home...picked up a figure drawing book,and an alphonse mucha book...might bring them tomorrow if I have the strength...later y'all

www.keithandthegirl.com

[Raizor]

I'll be bringing the "goodies". I will only be bringing about 4 discs.

I will also be bringing "something" for the Group projects instead of the envelopes.

As for me, I will be bringing some reference mags and the newest Imagine FX, with Andriod Jones and TeamGT's Francis Tsai.

[R'john]

Yo dudes...and dudette...great meeting with all of you again. I had another great meet. Nice meeting you johnny,and glad you came sylver...good seeing you again. Sunny,thanks so much for your effort(water color paper,dvd,books,etc...),its greatly appreciated. It was cool drawing with you at timmy's with the silent fire alarm and all. Hehe. I'm gonna scan the drawing I did,tonight or tomorrow,or sometime this week...

Yo,lets start a new Vancouver Sketchbook. New thread for a new group...:rendered:

John and Sarah,hope you had fun at the canzine thing. If you got anything cool,maybe you could bring stuff to show at the next meet...

So when is the next sketchcrawl?

later everybody...

[Raizor]

No problem with letting you all experiment with the watercolor paper and goodies.

As for the silent fire alarm, that would of been better as you said, if someone on fire did run out of the kitchen, and that person was ignored, with all that chattering. I say we stick with the Timmy's at Alberni and Thurlow.

I'm up for a brand new Vancouver Sketchbook thread. Easier to maintain if one of us is the moderator.

>John and Sarah,hope you had fun at the canzine thing. If you got anything >cool,maybe you could bring stuff to show at the next meet...

Please let us know about the Canzine. Maybe Sara's boyfriend from Timmy's was there. ;)

As for the next Sketch Crawl. I say two weeks from now. November may not be a good month to do a lot of location sketching due to the weather getting colder.

See y'all next week.

Raizor, dude, you have too much time on your hands, hehe. I thought i did! No, but thanks for all the effort.

Yeah, i hope i can make it out to draw wit you fellah's soon. If i was closer and wasn't so busy i would. It sucks, i started this group back up when i had so much time, then i got hit with this job and stufff... now im boooked!

Im glad you guys are havin fun, can't wait to meet with you balla's soon.

Take it easy all.

~JB :donk:

[Raizor]

"I am the agreeing with the yoo", said Raizor in his best Apu accent.

Justin, we all would like to come down to a session, but we understand work being a priority.

I just finished working on "Things We Lost In The Fire", so I haven't had a call back for Production Assistant work yet. I was tempted to work on Alien Vs. Predator, but I heard it was chaotic in all the departments.

As for the activities we are doing, it helps us all in general to strenghten and learn new skills.

Envelope art, and now we just finished sketching on Watercolor backgrounds I painted for fun. I miss playing with watercolors, I thought I would pass the work I did on the the other artist's to use a jumping board to sketch. Wait till you see R'John's sketch. Sweet, like apple pie and bunnies!

I got so much stuff I can show. It was wasted when I went to Art Institute of Vancouver.

If you have time Justin, come to the sessions. We can't keep picking on 2100, he's starting to develop a thick skin, (Raizor grabs camera and takes pictures of said skin, for the texture, woot).

We will be doing a Sketch Crawl soon, try to come, one and all.

[2100]

Sunny your iron spikey shark is awesome, I love it! And that photo of sylver and I sitting on the stairs makes it seem like those two girls on the side are part of the group, well done!

The zine fest was fun, I was surrounded by things I don't have time to read and don't have money to buy, but it was great to see all these indie comic artists from Vancouver gathering and promoting their work. Upstairs there were big white things for you to paint on. We painted porings, "aka pork-buns," bunnies, a robot and ofcourses a series of circles and crosses! I wish I had proper photos to show you guys, but I don't know how to upload em off my phone.

After Canzine, I went for dinner with some old highschool pals. Ironically we went to calhoun's, haha. That place is amazing for not drawing, heh... There was a jazz band playing at the cafe tonight. I think around 9 musicians playing mostly kickass originals, as well as some unbelievable covers, including ofcourse miles davis...

I had such a great day today, the meet was fantastic as usual. Sunny, we're all so grateful to have you <3, let's take over the world. R'john, hope you feel better soon. JONNIO, glad you could make it today! We'll definitely go sketching sometime or just hang out! Jared, nice to see you again. I love your haircut, you look more masculin now :]. Sarah, my poring was definitely cuter, don't try to deny it~

Anyways, I'll see you all next weekend.

[Raizor]

Thanks guys/gals.

It's a good thing you went to the Canzine, it sounded like a good event. I will have to go next time. Painting Porkbuns and Bunnies, I wish you had both painted the Firefighter putting out a fire with a sack of bunnies or done the bunny cannon of firefighting. Asahi would of probably went "awwwwww, I like this!."

2100 - I think we best keep our relationship professional, as my mom still expects me to give her grandchildren. :)

Calhoun's - was that the meeting place for the previous Vancouver Sketch group?

I am also working on the Vancouver Reference CD/DVD. I hope to at least have a DVD by next month.

[Raizor]

I was wondering if your laptop would be able to handle some Sketch Sessions.

We could use Artweaver for sketching or Artrage to do some collabratative artwork.

We could possible share pictures too. We could also start making our own little tuts for everyone to share.

Just throwing this out there! I would also like to know if anyone else has a laptop they would be able to bring to the Sessions. It doesn't really have to be top of the line.

The best place to use laptops would have to be Waves. They have a lot more space for artist's.

Waves Coffee:

hey raizor, thanks for poppin' into the seattle thread and introducin' yerself.
hopefully some of the sea folk will hook up with your crew.
if any of you are down in seattle, please post a heads up in our seattle thread.
cheers!

[R'john]

hey sunny...bad news.
:$ Sorry to disappoint,but I can't bring the laptop to the meets. It needs to stay connected to my modem. I have a weird modem that stops working if you move it even a bit. Then it takes hours to get it in the right position to work again. A few times I couldn't get it to work for weeks. I guess I need a new one,but for the last few months its been working with no problems,so I don't want to take the chance of losing the connection again.

I'm so sorry about that dude...

:(

[Raizor]

Is it that old? I would have to say it is a modem/wireless router problem.

Are you using dial-up or highspeed?

It's okay. We can do analogue artwork for the sessions. No biggie. I wanted to show some techniques in 3D.

[R'john]

its a few years old I'm subscribed to shaw lite. A bit slow,but I still get internet,so it's cool. I think it has something to do with the cords. I have to play with it for a long time in order to get it to work sometimes...sorry dude.

My laptop though,is maybe 5 years old.

[Raizor]

No problem regarding the laptop. We can use a etch-a-sketch.

As for Shaw-lite, it is a bit slow. I used to have that.

Don't worry about the laptop. I will pick one up sometime, in the future. Then we could conquer the Blenz with all our mad hackerz skillz.

Anyways, I am playing with Artweaver, it is fun. It crashed while saving a custom brush, but other than that, it seems fine. It is a combination of Photoshop LE and Painter LE, but free.

[2100]

meow~

[JustinBeckett]

Are you stalking me Rjohn, your in the same thread as me! Ahhh, runs off and hides!

[Raizor]

This forum seems quite.

Let's make some noise.

Anyways, I posted a new model I did on the Sketchbook section.

http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?p=1072841&posted=1#post1072841

I modelled the sucker, threw in a few textures, set up some lights and did a simple render.

As per Sunday, Justin, if you can make, come on down. We won't suplex or do any Hulk Hogan Leg Drops. Maybe a couple. Sarah will do the choke-slams, while her evil hippity-hops (bunnies) will cute you into a coma.

[JustinBeckett]

Hey, Raizor, yeah, i might be able to make it out this sunday actually. So, im hoping for it! I'll try and let you all know soon, no guarantees! But good chance!

[Raizor]

Please come by, if you can Justin.

Hey guys, well, i would be coming, but, im gonna have to be a dick, and let you guys down... again. Im going to a halloween costume party tonight and its going to be insane, and i will be super hung over by the morning, soo, have fun guys, and happy halloween! Almost!!

Cheers,

[Raizor]

No problem. R'John, John and myself hung out with you today at Waves at least.

You did a sweet dragon sculpture that was detailed like crazy.

I didn't realize that you could sculpt like those guys who work for MacFarlane Toys.

It's too bad we couldn't get a picture of your sculpture on my camera, the cellphone pics didn't do it justice.

Thanks for stopping by today, Justin. It means you still care about the rest of the group.

As for our Saturday session, it was nice. Good to see that R'John is taking figure drawing classes at Basic Inquiry.

His style will improve. Now all he needs to draw are women and bunnies, maybe a combination of both, as that would border on Hentai/Furry art.

As for me, I picked up a new technique which I will be doing tommorow.

See ya all later, at Blenz at around 11 am - 1 pm.

If the group is larger, I say we head to Timmy's on Alberni and Thurlow.

[R'john]

Hey Dudes,

great meet. I enjoyed it as usual. Finally Justin came after being awol for so long. Dude,it was kind of good to hang out with you again. You know,the asian guy that came in with you could have hung out with us too. Where did he go? Anyways,it was like old times again. As for my drawings,I will try to scan some stuff in tonight...Thanks for the watercolor pen sunny...I might go to loomis and pic up some watercolors or guache...and that big watercolor book...anyways,on a happier note...I got my blood test back and good news,I don't have hepatitis...liver is healthy...peace y'all:yayca:

[Raizor]

It is too bad that Justin's friend couldn't stay longer. He was did a wicked sketch that seemed to have been misplaced by me.

As for R'John and his test, that was too much info. At least he kept the STD's I gave him in Vegas. ;)

[R'john]

It still burns when I pee...hehe...peace y'all. I'm just happy to be healthy...

[R'john]

For some reason,I keep calling you Sandee...sorry Sunny...

John...do your essay!

[2100]

John...do your essay!

Lol, oh yeah, that...

[Raizor]

Thank you, please come again! (Does Apu's little Kwik-E Mart salutation)

As for the pee burning, I have that also. It does keep me alive. Cheaper than being hooked up to a machine in a hospital.

(It's like the scence from "Toxic Avenger" when he takes a bathroom break on a brick wall and it starts eating away at the bricks!)

(For those youngun's, go rent it from a movie store that keeps old 80's movies in stock, it is not for children under 15)


My birthame:

Sandy is acceptable. My uncle calls me that.

As for John and his homework, I will call his mom. That will solve everything.

Here some other examples:

Ham-and-Swiss-on Rai (pronounce "Rai" as "Rye") (That's one I made up, I got bored one day on the Skytrain)

SAND-DIP (Involves a hand gesture)

Feel free to make up others that are original. (There is no prize attached, unless you like STD's)

[Raizor]

Nice day today.

Justin was with us in his ectoplasmatic form today. He visited us in his Cookie Ghost form.

He was tortured by John and Sarah. Seems he missed to many sketch sessions.

Then he tried to call his lawyer, but we managed to convince him not to sue us. We threatened to call the Ghostbusters. (I know, it was a lame joke).

As for the ghost ring in the picture, I believe that Sarah and Justin were trying to active their powers. ("Wonder Twin powers, Activate!") (Form of:?)

For those who don't know who the Wonder Twins are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Twins

Justin did a sweet chinese brush marker sketch in the sprite of Halloween. He is kicking ass with his sketchin skillz.

Justin rocks! Welcome back to the group.

Yo Dudes,

Great meet as usual...great music,great times:confident
Sorry I had to head out a little early. Had to go to the doctors and then off to meet my bro's girlfriend.

We tried out that new sushi place on Denman. Really cool motif inside. I had kobe beef...$14 for meat the size of a deck of cards,a bunch of sashimi...tried raw shrimp for the first time...kinda weird...had some hot sake(not my kind of drink) and some other stuff...cool place,portions were a bit small though,but overall,it was a good experience.

See you's next sat or sunday...I'm off to watch a bit of Russel Peters before bed...

Well, looks like we have another "Justin" on Sunday. ;)

hey man, it's not my fault chicks into that sorta thing are easy!

[Raizor]

I would be scared too if I was a girl.

I believe in hygyne. I shower daily and I use deodorant.

East Indians expire pretty quickly. (You'll have to watch Russel Peters to get that joke).

As for the rabid fanboys, I would use a flamethrower on them, as the lice can tackle small mammals.

Then there are the EMO's. They are even worst. I would keep pushing them into traffic, so I would feel better! I know you guys/gal would do the same. I can see R'John doing it while drawing mustaches on the ladies!

yo dizizudes,

What do you say we make sundays meet an outing for the group? What do you think about going to that comicon and maybe finding a place there to draw,or maybe go back to blenz if we leave early...or even find a place around there to hang out and draw...it's just a thought...

"don't you realize that I have had diareah since easters?"

recognize that line sunny...it makes me laugh just thinking about it...

oh yeah,cool pics guys...just post anything anywhere,its all cool with me...gnight,good luck with all your school projects and interviews...

Sounds like a good idea. We will have to cough up $3/person but I could try.
Blenz afterwords? Sure.

About Saturday, I will be going to Waves again. I heart Waves. I will be leaving the house at around 11 am. Call me if you plan on showing up, as I will be also going for some Sushi later.

>"don't you realize that I have had diareah since easters?"

R'John, you always have diareah, even when there wasn't an Easters holiday.

>recognize that line sunny...it makes me laugh just thinking about it...

Dot,dot, dot. I'm just waiting for instructions.

>oh yeah,cool pics guys...just post anything anywhere,its all cool with >me...gnight,good luck with all your school projects and interviews...

Same here. Nice speed paint.

Dude you work for the film industry.................................

[Raizor]

I do. However, we have a No Cellphone policy at work. We have to turn them on rumble or off.

Besides, a lot of "Fanboys" don't bathe. Some of them will expire within half an hour.

[R'john]

wha? come on dude! fanboys aren't all bad...hehe,ok,I'm going to blenz too,but I might just pass by the con for a bit. anyways,about tomorrow,I'm not too sure if I can make it sunny. I'm gonna go to life drawing in the morning and then home to clean my place...it's getting pretty bad. If I do join you it might be for an hour or two. I'll give you a call if I'm coming...I really want to get another of those spice cookies they have at waves...

anyways,today,I picked up ashley wood's sparrow...even though I didn't get it during the comicshops sale,its still worth every cent. When the guy does good stuff,its excellent...

holla-a-a-a-a-a

plus I did a drawing today at work,I'll post it in our sketchbook...

[asahi]

I'm absolutely going to the Comicon on Sunday - woe be the fanboy that tries to hit on me. ;) I'll stop by Blenz for a little while, though, first.

R'John - Which Sparrow is it? I picked up #1, but I know there's others...

Sunny - I can't make it tomorrow, either. Too much homework. (It's depressing.) Have a good time sketching and eating sushi.

[Raizor]

I might as well stay home too. I gotta go but some groceries.

See you Sunday at Blenz.

[R'john]

hey sarah,

it's the one that you got. after I saw it that time you brought it in,I've been wanting it ever since. I know that there will be two more in this series. I'm not sure when they'll be coming out,but when they do,I'll pick em up...you're gonna go sarah? I'll call the old guy and make sure he's there to protect you from the fanboys.hehe...oh yeah,I forgot,you know tae kwon do...

Hey sunny,I'll just see you at blenz on sunday...I might pass by waves for a minute though...the cookies are good...

later y'all

[Raizor]

Don't worry about me, guys. I will be doing some research at Chapters as in looking at some more styles. Call me if you manage to make it to Blenz.

I know a ComicCon is a good place to pick up inspiration.

Take your time and see if you can snag some sketches, from the artists that will be there in attendance. Those will make you all happy. :)

[sylver]

sorry dudes(and dudette) i wont be makin' it this time 'round, work stuff(2nd time in a week, F'ing yes)

[R'john]

grrrrrrr sylver...hehe,see you next time dude...no worries.
As for me,I'll be there tomorrow at blenz,I'm not going to the con after all. Well...maybe...we'll see if I'm too lazy or not...

I went to loomis and bought some new china markers and a few watercolor pencils...I'll try em tomorrow. I could have been there for another hour just looking at the art supplies,but I felt I browsed too long,so I was on my way.

I went to life drawing this morning...it's so awsome. Hey sunny,if you can't afford to go weekly to the basic inquiry sessions(which are 12 drop in),how about joining me for life drawing 2 weeks of the month,or even just once a month...I'm feeling some benifits from going to life drawing...that invitation goes for everybody else...I know it's early on saturday morning,but if you feel up to it,come and join me in some life drawing sessions at basic inquiry...

later y'all(time to clean and do laundry)

[Raizor]

2100?

I forgot to ask who your instructor is and what style of art she/he does?

As for the Basic Inquiry, I may be able to do it, but I will have to budget for it. I got student loan to worry about now. My grace is period for the loan is over.

[JustinBeckett]

Rjohn: What time on sat do you go to life drawing, i wouldn't mind going with you, i already attend life drawing but the more the better right...And i will try and go with you on a regular basis, but not yet... I need more work first.

Raizor: Wtf? A student loan, you going to school now or what?? What did you do to yourself...

Peace G's.

~JB

[R'john]

yes...the more the better.

I would go at least two times a week if it wasn't for the awesomest show ever,Lost,which is on wednesday,which would be the other day I would go. Luckily,Lost is going on hiatus after this weeks episode,and then I might go two times a week if I'm not exhausted...

Didn't you hear Justin,Sunny is enrolled in John Casablancas school for hair design. He decided to quit the movies,and be a stylist to the stars instead...

As for life drawing,I go at 10am-1pm. That's pretty hard to wake up for,even for me,who lives really close. If you can make it though Justin,that would be cool...are you still going to school at vanarts?

[Raizor]

I studied Graphic Design at The Art Institute of Vancouver

(Meh, not worth the money, honestly. Better to goto Langara or Capilano, or a school that offers a minimum of 4 years for a really good education, trust me).

Still gotta find work so I can attend the Life Draring classes. Drawing naked pictures of me isn't all that fun anymore.

See ya'll at Blenz today.

[JustinBeckett]

John Casablancas, ah yes, i heard he was going there, just kicked into my memory...You would fit in quite nice Sunny. :bashful:

Rjohn, yeah dude, i would go everyday if i could haha! I will let you know when i can start going with you.

Vanarts, nah, that shits over! I did learn alot of basic stuff though that could definitely come in handy. And met some cool people, as well as some dudes who worked for EA. The teacher there was really great...It definitely helped me improve on life drawing...

hey whats up yo...

I had a great time again with sunny and sarah...See you guys in two weeks. sunny have fun with mudbox,and sarah,hope you had fun at the con...So,how many times did you get hit on by fanboys there? Hehe,just teasing...

Just found out about this thread from John (how convenient!).

Sorry I couldn't make it the last two weeks. Was bout to leave for Blenz this morning when I realized I had to color a comic for my sis that was due today. :spam:
no fun

Anyways I'll prob be able to come next weekend. Don't give up on my yet!

To make up for my absence I'll upload some of my recent sketches. (yehaw)

Thats Jonny not Johnny Jonny O fo sho.

[R'john]

oh no! catwoman is on tv...I heard it was bad,but I gotta see for myself. Is halle berry that hot? I don't think so,but maybe thats just me...

yo jonny o,no worries dude...I'll see you in a few weeks...I won't make this coming weeks meet. I'm going back to Calgary...

[Raizor]

I hope everyone had a good time at their various tasks today.

As for the sketch group session next week (Rememberance Day), November 12, R'John will not be with us. He is taking off to visit family. (Momma's boy) :)

I'm a mamma's boy too, so feel free to taunt me. ;)

Does anyone else plan on skipping this session?

If so, I would like to suggest that we hold a Sketch Session at Waves (45? West Hasting - Next to Sophia Books and Blenz). On Saturaday, November 11, 2006, if Waves is open.

I would also like to suggest that another idea.

If John and Sarah are swamped with homework from school, would you all like to meet in Saturaday's instead of Sunday's? It may help from burning out creatively or it may help with creativitey!

Please let me know A.S.A.P.

>Congrats on your new job though. I just came back from my interview at >Loomis, I can't wait to hear back them either.

Hopefully you do. I believe you'll be working at the W. Broadway location. At least travelling won't be as painful for you.

>Hello zenmaster, I hope you make it tomorrow. NEW FLESH <:

We do drarings on Sundays, sometimes Saturadays. I usually go drawing and shoot photos on Saturdays. However, the weather hasen't co-operated these past weeks.

---Sunny's Saturday Sketch Sessions are as follows, thought plans change due to work---

Meeting locations:

[R'john]

[R'john]

nobody's going?
Aww,ok,next saturday then. Is that the new agreed day? Some one let me know please. I'm outta the loop here...

peace...

[2100]

I'm still going today.

[2100]

and im back :)

too bad you weren't there rjohn, would've been like old times.

[R'john]

whaaaaat?

You guys met up?
booooooo!
I'll be there next week...when exactly is the sketchgroup meeting?
Saturday or Sunday?

[2100]

nah, it was just me and the blenz girls. The cafe was virtually empty all afternoon, so we chilled and munched on samples.

Jonny didn't wake up, I dunno about Asahi and Zenman didn't come either~

[R'john]

wow,sorry dude...I'll be there next weekend...are you coming to saturdays meet?

[Raizor]

I will see if I can make it next week. I have to change my hours/days. I do have Friday off.

[R'john]

what up yizz'all?

[Raizor]

Yeah.

Where is everyone?

Are we dying as a group?

Anyways, I am getting Clustterforked at work. Wheee.

Clustterfork - Term orginally made up after witnessing a friend defend his fries and gravy with a fork. He proceeds to stab your knuckles and hand very hard with a fork or multiple forks. Sometimes knifes are involved. You eventually become a frie ninja after several months of training. Mister Miyagi (Karate Kid) would be proud.

I don't even have time to model, let alone sketch.

Sunny SMASH puny cars who ask for gas. (Rips off shirts, flexes vigoriusly, people are vomitting (or laughing or both), Sunny dies of hypothermia).

Anyways, who else is still around?

Damn, if I can't get the weekend off, I can only do a sketch session on Friday, even if I have to go alone. I might be able to do this Sunday. About 50% sure about availability.

I might not make Saturday, since I got a call from Superstore, saying they would like to set up a interview. I am tempted by their offer, but I can run on auto-pilot at PetroCanada, with two-three hours sleep.

[Raizor]

It's filtered?

I believe it is.

I laugh/fart in the general direction of Starbucks. (from a Monty Pyton skit)

I miss their cakes of nummyness.

By the way, I got tipped by a East Indian. Oh my, what is the world coming to.

And, Alien Vs. Predator 2 is filming really close to our gas station. Damn, I am tempted to run away with the Teamsters.

[2100]

the semester's wrapping up at EC: chaos.

[Raizor]

I going to Waves Wireless Coffee Shop, not cellphone shop. (450 West Hastings, inbetween Sophia Books and Blenz).

I will not be able to make Sunday. No one at work is able to trade shifts for Sunday. Oh well, at least I can meet someone for the sketchgroup.

I will leave the house around 11:00 am. Call me at 778-235-4445 if you are able to come, or show up, naked optional.

[R'john]

saturday...I'll see you there dude...so is it saturdays then? or still sundays?
whats the official day? I can probably go on sunday too...

No...the group won't die...I'll still be there...

[JustinBeckett]

Alien vs predator 2, wth, why they makin that shit, they already ruined the aliens series with the first avp.

Gad damn.

[Raizor]

I'll be going because I only have that day off. My work days/times change weekly, since I work full-time. I will just have to go when I get a chance and a day off.

So I will be at Waves this Saturday. I will be working 2 pm - 10 pm on Sunday, Nov 26.

As for Alien Vs Preadator 2, it might be better. I got to see one of the cars that will be destroyed in one of the scenes. I also get to talk to the Teamsters from the show when they come to gas up. They most likely shoot at Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam soon. It's aboot money, Fox is desperate.

[Raizor]

Woot.

Nice to get back together to draw. I missed it.

Thank goodness Justin showed up again. He must be getting a little rusty, since we rarely see him.

He's getting better at drawing people before they run away.

I won't be able to make the Sunday session at Blenz tommorow. I will try to get at Saturday off or Sunday every week.

[Raizor]

http://www.tttc.ca/

For R'john to pass on to the people he works with.

[R'john]

Man,Justin,you got alot better. I thought.

Anyways,were you and that dude you came with feeling ok? You kept getting up every now and then,going to the bathroom together. Maybe,you both just caught a cold or something I guess...hehe,jokes jokes...but you did get better.

Anyways,I went to lifedrawing(Oh my dad! I can start to see a difference in my drawings),and then met up with sunny at waves...y'all should have came. It's really easy there to draw people. They don't move as much.

Who's going tomorrow? Anyone? Lemme know...

Hey Sunny,I decided that nobody deserves that open season book more than me,so I'm keeping it...its the best art of book I ever dun seen. You guys would love it...it's about 60bucks,but so-o-o-o worth the money.

yehyi-yehyi...

[Raizor]

Good to hear you are keeping it. It was worth it.

I loved the old school Disney style drawings.

I can't wait to get the Daphne 101 book and Ben Caldwell books. I still love the the GunGrave sketchbook. WOOT.

I will hopefully see you next week, my peeps.

[R'john]

boo that daphne book cuz of the faces...but yay cuz of the rest...
ben caldwell...I had the first one back in calgary,it was very helpful
gungrave book...was very cool...

[2100]

I'm glad you guys had a productive session!

I'm not going tomorrow, and probably skip out next weekend too. Afterwards we're on break.

[R'john]

but in the new year you're gonna come to the meets right John? We gotsta keep the group alive yo!

anyways,ok tomorrow is cancelled...for all who want to...lets try to meet at waves next saturday...whadda ya say?

good luck with the school stuff ecad members...

[Raizor]

Well. That is the life of a student.

Anyways, R'John, I guess it's me and you from now on. I will try to get Saturday off again. I have to check my schedual today.

I don't want this fun to end again. If possible, would you be able to travel somewhere in the middle on Skytrain so we can both try a new area for drawing?

[R'john]

Yeah,no prob...like I said before,as long as it's close to a sky train,we can meet somewhere closer to you if you like...
I'm just a little scared of surrey though...I heard wally can get a bit scary...that's just what I heard...doesn't mean it's true though...I don't really know.

But if we don't go to waves man,we'll miss the scientologist and her views on Tom and Michael. Tom,I can understand,I'm not against him...but Michael,even though I feel sorry for how he grew up...I think he's crazy. But I still love the Thriller album...It's a classic...

yehyi-yehyi

[Raizor]

I know, I like talking to the staff there too. I felt sorry for her when her boss yelled at her for trying to make the customers feel welcome.

I can go to Waves. I like the tea. MMMM, African Nector.

Along the Skytrain route, I would have to say Metrotown. It's in the middle and we have really easy access to resources.

Chapters, people, Staples,Futureshop, toystores.

Crystal Mall (with anime and manga).

Everyone else is welcome to join. (Hint, hint: Jared, Sarah and John, anyone else)

As for Micheal, I like the Thriller album too, he is still creepy otherwise.

Tom is crazy, I don't really like his movies, except Top Gun.

[Raizor]

I got this weekend off, for now. I plan on partying with R'john.

We sketch at Waves twice.

[R'john]

yehyi-yehyi...

thats good news dude...
you know,I was thinking...they have a library around the metrotown area in between metrotown mall and crystal mall right? We could set up and draw there if you're ok with that. Theres alot of ref there.

[Raizor]

Sounds good. I just don't know where that is.

I would like to draw a coffee shop while we can, since we get more colorful characters coming in.

I will keep posting my availability, I have a feeling that I may not be able to make one of my days off.

[R'john]

Hey Justin...

do you know stephen silver?
He's the Kim Possible character designer...
anyways,he did a podcast regarding the issue of art school vs.no art school...

check it out...it's his 8th episode. He gives alot of tips on how to be successful as an artist.

Check it out also everybody.

It's called Stephen Silver's Artcast

I got it off Itunes...

\w/

[JustinBeckett]

Rjohn, Naw dude, i don't know him.

Oh and sorry everyone, i have no idea when i will ever be able to meet up with you guys, its just really hard cause i am working and only have a couple days off a week, and those couple days are used for painting and my girfriend and my friends... So its really hard to get a completely free day off. I wish i could meet up with you lads again, i just don't think its gonna happen for a long while. When i originally said i could meet up regularily that was when i wasn't workin and shit...So yeah.

I'll keep postin in the thread though and harassing you guys.

Peace.

[R'john]

Hey Justin,

I'm not actually asking if you know him personally. I'm just telling you to listen to his podcast about the topic whether an artist needs to go to school or not. You asked this exact question one time at a meet. So I thought I'd let you know about this podcast he did on the topic. Really interesting stuff.

No worries justin,just come whenever you get a free day...

[Raizor]

I would like to go to Basic Inquiry with you, R'john. I could meet you somewhere.

The closest location for me is to go to Main Street/Science World and then walk from there to 1st Ave.

As for Justin, he's a lost cause. Sniff, I knew him well.

[Raizor]

I want to meet an old lady too :3

[Raizor]

I plan on taking on people like that who display an "attitude" when I get old. I will wield my cane with deadly accuracy. Asskickings for everyone!

[R'john]

Hey Sunny,

The best way,I think,is to meet me at stadium,then we'll walk up a block and take the 15 or 17,and it will take us pretty close to basic inquiry. You still coming? I think we should meet there by 9:30am at the most,as the session starts at 10am...I went tonight,and it was cool. I talked a bit with Daryl Mandryk and learned some tips from the awesome artist(and really nice guy too). Well,I'm off to eat,and then read some imaginefx,and then draw...then...zzzzzzzzzz.

I don't know what it is,but I'm so passionate about art again,and I love it...peace all

[Raizor]

Aight. Nakedness.

I will meet you at Stadium. I will leave my house to catch the 8:30 bus. It should take only about 45 minutes.

Call my cell tonight so I can register your cell number. I won't be taking the cell to work, but I will check it tonight when I come home.

Cell: 778-235-4445

As for loving "art", please keep it in your pants. I will have to press charges if you whip it out in public and expose yourself to women. :3

[R'john]

yo yo yo,

cool meeting up with you today sunny. It was fun as usual...Hope you have a good time tonight with the amazon...

anyways,who's meeting tomorrow?

peace

[Raizor]

We made sweet love. She was quite bossy, and scared me throught the whole ordeal. ;)

She said she wants to make love to the asian guy named R'john, also the fellow who looks like your co-worker (the dwarf/little person).

I will leave my place at 11:30 am, arrive at 12:30 pm at Blenz. If no is around by 1:00 pm, I am going straight for Waves. The leather chairs are a little easier on my hiney.

Waves Coffee Wireless (492 West Hastings, next to Sophia Books and Blenz).

[Raizor]

It was sweet. I learned and improved again.

As for our session today, Justin impressed R'John with a couple of magic tricks. It seems R'John was smitten and then Justin asked for a tip.

As for next week's World SketchCrawl, R'John and I would like to suggest Chinatown or a crawl involving old architecture around Vancouver.

This can change due to weather, which I believe will be wet and cold.

I plan on possibly going to Basic Inquiry on Sunday, from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm, if I have money. It will be gesture drawing, so Animators will benefit.

The session on Saturday is too early for me and I wasn't interested in drawing 30 minute poses. It bored me too much, due to my short attention span.

It was also a little noisey for my tastes but I love the room. It is so industrial and old.

Feedback for the World Sketch Crawl is needed ASAP. So please reply.

If it is myself and R'John from now on, for a while, we most likely with go sketch at Waves from now on.

[R'john]

Hey yo Sunny,

great meet as usual. Yeah,Justin did do a great trick. I really was amazed and had to tip. Luckily,I didn't have any bills on me,cuz I may have tipped Justin with those bills.

I was amazed cuz he threw the cards on the ground,and the only one facing up was my card. Man,go back and draw,your magic tricks are cool,but isn't your first love art? Anyways,then later,Justin and a guy wearing shorts,tried to save a bird that had flown in to blenz...it was kinda chaotic there for a moment...

Anyways,great meet,got some cool drawings done. Will do again next week.
Anybody else gonna come? Hope you guys can make it. Were getting some cool drawings in.

As for the program,I might install it tonight...I might...

yo...

[Raizor]

Yeah, I forgot about the birdy. Justin sweet talked it out of Blenz.

Justin did his Barry White (musician) accent and made sweet love to the bird. It panicked and flew out the sliding door.

[2100]

Rawr!

[Raizor]

Please check out the Revised Vancouver sketchbook.

If no one else is going to post, I will most likely start my own, possibly with R'john as my co-pilot.

[2100]

Meh, you might as well start your own at the rate you are posting! We'll reserve the Vancouver SB for the meets.

[Raizor]

Sweet. I will start my own.

[Raizor]

I will be staying home, as I need to do some housework. I will be going on Saturday for the Sketchcrawl with R'John.

R'John, if you still want to attend the Basic Inquiry on Saturday or Sunday, let me know.

I will try to make it to the Basic Inquiry the following Sunday (Dec 17, 2005)

I need to apply for another job, I am about to strangle the people I work with.

[R'john]

great sale at the new loomis...I got a pack of acrylics for about 3bucks...down from 50...thats awesome...it's windsor and newton...I guess thats a decent brand...what happened at work Sunny? I thought it was going well? Has anybody from the sketchcrawl contacted you?...

peace...off to watch scott robertson...than pass out

[Raizor]

Lazy asses at work toke up and piss off people who need gas. Goddam 4:20's.

They take so many breaks, I can't have one. I plan on going back to the movies, if I can. If not, I will try other places.

>got a pack of acrylics for about 3bucks...down from 50...thats awesome...it's >windsor and newton...I guess thats a decent brand...

A great brand. Always stick with name brand paints/watercolors. They are the best when it comes to consistancy and quality. Windsor & Newton was my first set of watercolors. I still have them.

>as anybody from the sketchcrawl contacted you?...

No one has. Oh well.

Do you want to cancel the Saturday instead of the Sunday, I can meet you for the Basic Inquiry from 2 - 5 pm on Sunday?

[JustinBeckett]

Rjohn, how did you get that deal dude?

Windsor and Newton are good i have heard, but i heard for oils. Also they are a student brand not a professional grade quality. But, if you are just startin with them they can be good...Nothing matters at this point, you paid 3 bucks for em!

hah!

:xpld:

~JB

[2100]

You guys can come this Sunday? That's great.

Hey Sunny, do you have a Os X bootdisc I could borrow?

[Raizor]

I will not be able to make it due to washing clothes. Food also needs to be comsumed in mass quantities after I buy some.

As for OS X, I do not have any disc's with that software. I am sorry.

[Raizor]

[R'john]

apply now sunny...you'll regret it if you don't

[2100]

yeah Sunny, you'll regret it if you don't :]

[Raizor]

I don't want to. I can't stand the D&D crowd and fanboys. They don't bathe very often.

As for the Sketch Crawl, who is able to make it?

I need to know. I plan on taking either Saturday or Sunday off and some other artists from Sketchcrawl want to join.

[2100]

I can make it sunday. What's the plan anyways?

BTW, I got my laptop now. I can borrow those gnomon dvd's and bring em to Sunday.

I occasionally go on Saturdays to Waves, however we as a group meet on Sundays. It really depends on everyone's plans.

As for R'John, keep him away from microphones.

Filipinos love karaoke. (Peter Russels: Outsourced.)

[R'john]

karaoke...what's that?

Jun,go show your tito Rey how you sing...haha,that funny bombay...he's one of my fave comedians

[Raizor]

Karaoke. We must do that one day. I would creep people out really easily.
