Seattle Sketch Group: Friday, Oct 8, 7 pm Caffe Vita, Capitol Hill

**donm** · October 27th, 2010, 04:22 PM

i could come once a week as of now, but i couldn't find any parking in front of vita...it was super crowded and im new to the seattle area (5months). any parking info? im very poor at the moment.

**Hawkswift** · October 27th, 2010, 09:43 PM

I can usually do once a week. I think I'd prefer every other week or monthly just so I have to make fewer choices between this and other activities.

**Earendil** · October 27th, 2010, 10:25 PM

I'd recommend the bus. There are about 3 or 4 lines from downtown that will drop you off within 2 blocks of Cafe Vita. Saves on parking and time.

**Undertow** · October 28th, 2010, 01:58 PM

I can't do weekly. I'm busy this week.

**Lou Holsten** · October 29th, 2010, 01:24 AM

Ditto. I'm jam-packed busy until at least the end of the year. So when things settle down a bit I'll try to join in on the fun every now and then.

**Hawkswift** · November 2nd, 2010, 09:10 PM

Do we want to try every other week? How's this Friday?

**bbrian21** · November 2nd, 2010, 11:06 PM

Is it still this Friday? @8? Cap hill? Cafe Vita?

**Hawkswift** · November 3rd, 2010, 12:33 AM

Well, I can make friday at 8 at cafe vita...

Let's see how many responses we get

**Undertow** · November 3rd, 2010, 12:43 PM

Staying at home this week to get work done.

**silvestri99** · November 3rd, 2010, 07:58 PM

I can't make it this week either... school auction. Perhaps next week?

**Hawkswift** · November 7th, 2010, 05:35 PM

So were scheduling for Cafe Vita at 8PM friday the 12th?

I can make it.

**Undertow** · November 9th, 2010, 12:33 PM

I'm leaving for Illuxcon and other business tomorrow. I'll be back next Monday.

**jetpack42** · November 10th, 2010, 11:51 PM

What this Seattle Sketch Group really needs is some naive but well-meaning kid, fresh outta art school who posts on CA more than he does his own work to organize this stuff, email people, and get this shit together.

Surely the Art Institute is still churning them out?

lol

**Hawkswift** · November 11th, 2010, 04:38 PM

heh

Anyway, I figure if we get three other people saying they'll be there I'll show up tomorrow at 8. Otherwise I'll find something else to do.

**Undertow** · November 16th, 2010, 01:07 PM

Back from Illuxcon and playing catch up. It was an amazing convention. The down side is that I caught a cold the day I flew back. Yay.

**silvestri99** · November 17th, 2010, 09:48 PM

I can't make Friday night.. it's date night with the miss. I am opennext Friday tho.

**M.K.Koontz** · November 20th, 2010, 09:09 AM

Not trying to be off topic, just hopeful. Does anyone out here do Tacoma?

**The Incredible Sok** · November 20th, 2010, 03:06 PM

I'm in Tacoma, dude love your portrait stuff nice use of color!

**jetpack42** · November 21st, 2010, 11:15 PM

Hey Peeps, I'll be doing a demo at the downtown Seattle Utrecht Art Store January 8th. Demo will be on the fundamentals of drawing from life (as demonstrated through a portrait drawing). Demo will be about 2.5 hours or so, 2pm. Store is located on Pike and Melrose.

**Syle** · December 3rd, 2010, 09:58 AM

hey all, just throwing my name in the hat for Seattle peeps. it seems that things are a bit cluster-f'ed around here about scheduling. maybe we should start a new thread so that people aren't discouraged from reading a 200+ page thread?

also, jetpack42, i got that date and location marked on my calendar, i'll be there!

**M.K.Koontz** · December 28th, 2010, 03:28 PM

Do any of you guys facebook or something? no one has posted in this thread for awhile. I wanna do a meetup in Tacoma, I got three weekends off in January

btw Michael, love your portraits

would be fun to drive up there and see the demo

**donm** · December 29th, 2010, 03:23 PM

yeah, i wish we had a more common meetup here.

**jetpack42** · December 31st, 2010, 05:04 AM

Koontz, Thanks homie. If you make the drive out, be sure to say hello.

**donm** · January 25th, 2011, 12:14 AM

They're only on 520. You can still take 90 across without paying.

**jetpack42** · February 3rd, 2011, 07:02 PM

Peeps,

I'm running another drawing class, the fundamentals of drawing from life, down in Maple Valley, for any of you down in South King County. Class will run for 6 Wednesday nights and will begin once 6 people are signed up. For more info, shoot me an email and check out the website. http://www.maplevalleyarts.com/conte...odule_id=53680

**jetpack42** · April 2nd, 2011, 01:52 AM

Sup peeps.

If anyone is up on Capitol Hill, swing in to Bauhaus Coffee Shop, my work is hanging on the wall this month. http://www.bauhauscoffee.net/bulletin.cfm

99 ink portraits and 20 landscape oil paintings. If you check it out, let me know what you think. Constructive criticism always welcome.

**jetpack42** · April 20th, 2011, 06:57 PM

Whew, it's getting crazy in this thread.

If anyone is interested, I'll be giving a few FREE drawing demos in the Seattle area in a week, and in a month. Check out my blog for exact details.
