Main Street Fair

Thanks to everyone who stopped by our table at the Sustainable September Main Street Fair on Saturday! We had a good time sketching and telling folks about the upcoming 24 Hour Challenge.

We didn't get many photos of the sketches we did, but here's a pic of Otto, the mascot for the Spokane Indians, with a sketch I drew for him:

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:

Spokane Street Fair!

Members of the Spokane Comicsmiths' Guild will be at Merlyns tomorrow (Saturday the 12th) after 3pm as part of the Sustainable September Main Street Fair!

We'll be drawing free sketches for kids between 4-6 and taking sketch commissions for others. There should also be a variety of prints and original artwork for sale as well. If you're a Spokane local, swing by and say Hi, meet the Guild and pick up some art!

In addition to the Guild, Merlyns will also be host to local members of the 501st Legion from 2-4pm. Get photos of yourself with stormtroopers and more of the Galactic Empire's finest!

The Street Fair will also feature live music, entertainment, sustainabilty info, kids activities, bike tune-ups, food and fun! In the street - 0 block of West Main, 3-8pm.
