If you're going to be near Portland, OR this weekend, be sure to check out the Rose City ComiCon! This two day show is co-produced by the fine folks responsible for Seattle's Emerald City ComiCon, and is already a healthy size for this being only its second year.
The Spokane area will have it's own representatives in attendance, of course, including: Joshua Covey, Manny Trembley, Matt Nelson, and the creators of Transolar Galactica!
Both Manny and Matt will have the first copies of their newest books (RGB & Catbeard Book 2, respectively) available for purchase at the show, and Joshua will have merchandise from his recently Kickstarted graphic novel Baako, along with preview pages for the book to check out.
For more information about the show, head to the RCCC site: Rose City ComiCon!

Emerald City Update - Drink & Draw!
Thanks to everyone who made it out to the Drink & Draw on Saturday night! We had a full house, including some new faces, and everyone seemed to have a lot of fun. The plan is to have the next D&D at the end of March or beginning of April - we'll update here when the specifics are nailed down, and you can join the Facebook Group for more updates, like these photos taken by event organizer Nathan O'Brien.
A reminder that this coming weekend (March 1-3) is the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle. You can see the big list of local creators who will be exhibiting there in our last update: CSG at ECCC!
Also, ECCC will be having their own pre-Con Drink & Draw the night before the show, which is a great opportunity to meet and socialize with con-goers, both fans and pros. It'll be at the Daily Grill, across the street from the Convention Center, and will start at 7 pm. This is a free event to enter, but is restricted to 21 and up attendees.
You can see more information about this, and other great convention sponsored events going on over the weekend, at the ECCC Website. Hope to see you there!

He'll be providing burgers and hot dogs, so if you're planning to attend please bring a side and drinks. If you need directions or have questions, please contact the Guild - you can email us through the link found at the upper right of this page.
Next week will also see our third Spokane Drink & Draw of the year, brought to you by Cyrus O'Leary's and the Spokane Comicon! The event will be on Thursday evening (the 25th), from 7 - 11pm, and everyone is welcome. This will be in the regular restaurant area as opposed to the bar, so it will also our first all-ages Drink & Draw! You can RSVP at the Facebook event page: Spokane Drink & Draw Part Tres
Members are hard at work on their contributions to the Guild's second anthology comic, which we hope to release later this year. This will be a themed book, with a collection of scary and spooky tales. When we get closer to a firm release date, we'll have more information about it available here.
The Jet City Comic Show is coming up on September 24th in Seattle, and several Guild members will be in attendance as exhibitors. Confirmed so far are: Levi Skeen, Nathan O'Brian, Mike Lail and Erik Thompson.
And we are also happy to announce that the Guild will once again be present at the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle! The convention is March 30 - April 1 2012, and we'll have a table in Artist Alley. ECCC is always a great event, and we're excited to be back!
Last, but certainly not least... a while back we decided to do a jam piece, with different people drawing various Green Lantern Corps members. They were pencilled separately by Guild members, and then assembled and finished by our resident inker extraordinaire, Levi Skeen. This was a lot of fun and everyone's really happy with how it came together. We hope to get this colored and available as a Guild-exclusive print, and also want to do more of these type of jam pieces in the future.

Emerald City Wrap-Up!
Emerald City ComiCon was awesome! And we wanted to say thanks to everyone who came by the Spokane Comicsmiths' Guild table, whether it was to buy something, commission a sketch or just hang out and chat. We met a lot of cool people, and ECCC always has such a fun and friendly atmosphere.
The Guild sold a bunch of sketches, sketch cards and prints, and a few books as well. You can see some of the sketches that artists did over on their deviantArt pages, as well as some photos from the weekend over on Jesse Acosta's deviantArt Journal.
We've got a ton of photos from the events, taken by different people, and once we get them all sorted and in one place we should have them posted up here along with everyone's sketches (the one's we were able to get pics of). Right now I think everyone's a bit exhausted from the event and just recuperating, but hopefully we'll get those up soon.
The next convention we'll be at is the Spokane ComiCon in May, and we'll have some other Guild events coming up as well, including sketching for Free Comic Book Day on May 1st at a couple of local comic stores.
If you're interested in learning more about the Guild, our next meeting is this Sunday at Merlyns from 3-6 pm, and we'll be discussing a lot of the plans for upcoming events. Any local artists and writers are welcome!

The Spokane ComiCon website has been overhauled and updates are beginning to be posted for the 2010 convention - check out the website for more information: SpokaneComiCon.com
You can also follow the Spokane ComiCon on Facebook and Twitter so you'll be sure to get any future updates!
Our next regular meeting will be on January 17th, from 3 pm to 6 pm and will be at Merlyns. Anyone is welcome! We're also gearing up for the Emerald City ComiCon in March, and may have some extra meetings between now and then to get ready. More info will be posted if this is the case.
A couple notes of import:
The latest volume (Book 3) of Northworld, by Guild member Lars Brown, has just been released from Oni Press! It's available through local & on-line retailers, and can be purchased directly from Lars at his website: North-World.com
