24 Hour Comic Wrap-Up
A big thanks to everyone that came out and supported the 3rd year of this event! It was our biggest turn out yet. By mid-afternoon, we had 24 people participating.
Thank you to our sponsors - without you guys we would not have had:
1. A place for the event
2. Supplies on hand
3. Full bellies and caffeine buzzes
4. Prizes to give away
Speaking of the prizes, you can come down and pick up your raffle prizes at Merlyn's on the 18th. Why the 18th you ask? Because that is the next meeting for the Comicsmiths' Guild! The Guild was spawned out of last year's 24hr challenge, and meets every 3rd Sunday at Merlyns from 3-6 pm.
We do a lot more than just hangout and talk shop. If you've caught us at different store functions or conventions, and wondered how are they doing that and can I get in on the action, come down to the meetings and learn how. All artists and writers are welcome.
There were a lot of pictures taken over the 24 hours of the challenge - they're up on members' Facebook pages, and we'll be re-posting a bunch of them on our deviantArt page as well. Several members have already posted up their 24 Hour Comics - they're posted below and we'll be adding links to them here as more become available. If you participated and your comic is posted on-line, please send us a link!

Street Fair Wrap-Up
The Comicsmiths' Guild wants to extend a big thank you to everyone who came down to the Main Street Fair on Saturday! A big thanks also to John and the crew from Merlyns for hosting us for the fair, as well as the upcoming 24 Hour Comic Book Challenge.
We were there talking up the 24 Hour Challenge, which seemed to generate quite a bit of interest, and this year will hopefully have our biggest turn-out yet! If you are interested in participating, please check the links to the right for more info and let us know. We're trying to get an approximate head count beforehand, so we can determine the amount of space we'll need. Thanks!
Below you'll find some pictures of the Guild at the Main Street Fair, and also a few of the sketches done by members:
