Calling all Vancouver Artist's

[Warhead82]

CALLING ALL VANCOUVER ARTISTS!!!


Ok considering the other Vancouver group thread seems dead. I thought i would create a new one.

I think we should all seriously make this real and start up a art group. I live in Vancouver, and it would be really cool, having a group. To go draw with. Drawings my life so i will have no problems.

-- Firstly, everyone that is from Vancouver or really close and can make it there for a meeting spot should state, where they are.

-- And times they are available.

Lets get this going.

Im in North Delta, B.C. and can easily get to Vancouver.

[MrFrost]

I'm on the border of Vancouver and Burnaby...Weekends are always good. I work on the N.Shore and off at 3:30 usually. So heading downtown is always an option.

warhead - I would like to MAKE drawings my life...:)

[Warhead82]

Excellent, once we find out where everyone else lives, etc.. We will talk about, a meeting point, some where, where everyone can get to. :D

This is gonna be fun. :D

[gitch]

I'm moving downtown next week, which is also where I currently work.

[angel of light]

i live in surrey but could easily get downtown as i will b starting school soon again at sfu. i wish art were my life :nohope:

[Warhead82]

Sweet, keep on coming people. Guys make sure you keep track of the thread, cause we aren't going to make this a go until we have a little more people.

This is awsome :D

Come on Vancouver Artists, where are you.

[Bojee]

If you guys ever make it down to Seattle you should stop in. :rendered:

[Warhead82]

Bojee will do, why you have a group?

Anyways,

[Bojee]

Bojee will do, why you have a group?


Yeah sorry dude, I'm a part of the Seattle sketch group. There's a lot of cool people, and until you guys get your group off and running I thought I'd put out there to the neighbors of Seattle.
:rendered:

[Warhead82]

That's cool man. :D I'm Pretty close to seattle.

Well once it gets running, we go from there.

[Bojee]

That's cool man. :D I'm Pretty close to seattle.

[J May]

Great idea Warhead, drop me on that list! If we meet regularly even once every month that'd be great.

Cheers,
jm

[MrFrost]

another recruit!!! :) :) :) :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader::up: :up: :up: :up: :up: :cheerleader: :cheerleader: :cheerleader:

[Warhead82]

Yeah it tis lookn good.

-- The time has almost come, we have lots of people now. But even though we do, anyone is aloud to join, that can make it to the meeting spot.

I thought since we are waiting for more people, but if they don't show we will still meet. But, where do you guys, think a good spot to meet is.

Me and a few others, were thinking Downtown Vancouver, cause that is pretty much the most popular part of Vancouver. And everyone mostly knows there way around there, better than other parts of Vancouver.

Downtown Alright??

Also, i am going to go Downtown, soon, to check for a place where we can all meet, and i will take pictures of it so we can all see. And post them on here.

First, what is a good day for everyone to meet?? I and some others were thinking a Sunday? Also, if everything works out by this weekend, would everyone be up for meeting this weekend? Or Next Weekend??

Also i emailed Brasshorsekiller again, so hopefully he gets it.

Oh yeah and JMAY - we will hopefully meet once a week. Your in :D

[MrFrost]

Sunday sounds good to me. though it be better next weekend.

As for location, well depending on the weather, we might want to consider making sure we have a back up plan in case it rains. if you were thinkin about outside initially.

Now The Gallery is always a good spot....lots of things going on there....

[Kryaus]

Sunday would be good. I am not sure if I could do every week but biweekly would be ok. If the weather is good Kits beach has lots of subject matter & a pretty cool comic shop on 4th. MetroTown is a good for the people watching as well & lots of open spaces. Can't beleive I almost forgot False Creek/ Granville island..

[Warhead82]

Ok good.

I was thinking inside though, in like a internet cafee sort of thing, like a cofee shop. Where there is tables and stuff. But that is up to everyone.

[Spartan]

I'm more into the inside thing - at least until we get this thing rolling, anyway. That said, Metrotown is a bad, bad place to do this. Its loud, there's mallrats everywhere and no place to relax and draw...unless you count the food court which is arguably even louder and more crowded than the rest pf the mall. How about the Soho Cafe on Homer St.? Its downtown, cool music and nice laid back atmosphere...?
Just my 2 cents
Spartan

[MrFrost]

yeah either soho cafe, or subeez even.

[rubygenesis]

Cool, my msn is rubygenesis@hotmail.com

[Kryaus]

That said, Metrotown is a bad, bad place to do this.

That plaza they have where Skytrain connects to mall is not that bad. For an indoor thing ... ya that is al kinds of badness

for msn mcwhyte@uniserve.com

If I don't answer it prolly is my wife online so be nice eh :P

[Sketch]

That soho cafe sounds alright. Subeez wouldn't be that bad either. I've told Warhead that Sunday would be the best for me.

[Warhead82]

Sweet, guys, the soho cafe sounds good. I have to find it though. Where is it from Granville skytrain station?

Also subeez sounds good or even, Granville Island False Creek Somewhere is cool. Im down for any of these. But if people can tell me where Soho and Subeez is i will go down and check them out.

Justin.

[Spartan]

Soho is on Homer St. - directly accross from 1111 Homer. I don't know where Subeez is, but I know its a big IGDA hangout :P. To get to Soho from the granville skytrain station, just walk down granville till you hit Davie, then take a left onto Davie and walk till you get to Homer, then take another left, and it should be on the right hand side fo the street, when you are facing north.

OR - use mapquest and figure a faster way ! ;)

[Warhead82]

Thanks d00d i will check it out, if i find it :D

I've also asked a couple of my friends who are looking for a practice outlet - so maybe 2 more...:D

[Warhead82]

Excellent Good job man!! Wooooooooo :D

[MrFrost]

Subeez is also on Homer and Smithe - 861 Homer, I believe.

[Warhead82]

k im going downtown tommorow, to check out these cafe's, then i will post some pics.

Also, i guess sunday is a good date for everyone?? What time on sunday is everyone available, i was thinking in the morning sometime??

[MrFrost]

mornings would be good for me.

[Kryaus]

Sunday morning would be OK. Is anyone inthe Langley/ Cloverdale area that I could hitch a ride with? :bashful:

[Warhead82]

ok, so far sounds good. But we need to know from more people???

People?

Morning good for everyone??

[Spartan]

Uhm - I don't think many places will be open on Sunday morning, guys. If we want to do it at a Starbucks, maybe, but beyond that, I don't think Soho or Subeez or any equivalent will be available...

[Warhead82]

When is Soho and Subeez open?? Shouldn't they be open at like 11 am or something??

[MrFrost]

subeez is open at 11am on sundays.
Soho is open at 12noon.
http://www.sohocafe.ca/

[Spartan]

heheh - that's cool - I guess by 'morning' I was thinking you meant like 9:30 or something...I need sleep, dammit! ;)

[Sketch]

11 on Sunday morning is good for me

[angel of light]

i'm not free sunday mornings :nohope: :( but i can make it in the afternoon, and kryaus if you're willing to wait u can hitcha ride with me.

oh and i'm up for something this sunday if everyone else is

real name: Orion

[Warhead82]

Ok guys this is it. I went downtown today, but i couldn't really find that soho place well, cause i am walking and, it was supposively so damn far away from where i was. So i found a different place. But it seems pretty good, i have pictures.

- Ok the place is called -- BLENZ COFFEE BLENZ

- It is located on the corner of Granville and Nelson street.

- The girl working there said it was cool if we come in there, if we buy a couple drinks or something, like cofee, pop, juice, muffins and shit, whatever you want...

They are open at 8am to 4 pm.

One of the reason's i chose this place was because there wasn't very many people in there. So lots more room for us. And there was tables close together, and fit 6 people on each. and there is 2 rows, therefore 12. Plus more scattered around. If we don't like it, we can always move somewhere else together.

If you are taking the bus and skytrain, how to get there on skytrain. When you get to Granville Skytrain station, when you are coming out of the skytrain station, take a left, and get on the otherside of the road, and walk all the way down the street, until you see BLENZ COFFEE BLENZ, and thats the place, it is really close to the skytrain station. It will be on your right side.

Here are a few pictures of the place.

If i missed anything, tell me.

Now also, what would be a good time for everyone to meet?????
Also, do you guys want to meet this sunday or next?????

Everyone please respond to the above questions.

Thanks.

Justin.

[Spartan]

Wow - you've done your homework! Looks good...
I'm down for this sunday. I think making it bi-weekly would be good though. The morning works for me, but can we have the decency to wait till 10:00 ;)

[Kryaus]

If we can make it a little later that would be great. I have to try & get a babysitter & catch a ride with Orion so it should be do-able then.

[Warhead82]

How about, we make the meeting time 11:00 Am, and if people are a little late, thats fine, i will be there at 11:00am ish

Also, kryaus and orion thats fine if you get there around 11 or 1130 or w.e we will be there, but try not to be to long, the place closes at 4 pm

OK so everyone that is going, go to the meeting place this sunday then.

And we will make it a regular thing, every sunday same time we can meet. Also i will post reminders, some.

Bring, all the drawing supplies, you want. Tria markers, pencils, pens, erasers, rulers, etc.. Your imagination. :D A note book, if you want, incase you learn something from others, and want to right it down.

k, See ya all sunday??

[MrFrost]

so we're talkin this sunday as in tomorrow?? I'm not sure if ill be able to make this one....:(

[Sketch]

I'll be there. Looking forward to some muffin.

[Spartan]

Me too...11:00am sounds good.

[JackalAnubis]

hey is it cool if I join up too? I just moved to burnaby

[Kryaus]

Looks like I am able to get make it in as well. : )

[Sketch]

Great to have you, JackalAnubis.

Blackarts won't be able to make it tommorow... too busy

Everyone else, are you going to be able to make it tommorow?

[Warhead82]

Hey, im good to go for 11, also, JackalAnubis -- you can definetly join.

Go back abit in the thread, and all the meeting information is there, so hope to see you tom. :D

And if others that haven't posted before we see, and you see before the meeting time and want to go, just show up.

[Spartan]

Sup guys -
Nice to meet you all - sorry I had to bail a bit early, but I am down for next week. Its refreshing to just shoot the s#it and draw with other art geeks. If we keep this up, we'll need a name for our crew ;)
Cheers

[Warhead82]

Sup spartan, and everyone, nice to meet you guys too. It was alot of fun, i thought, i just had fun sitting and talking with everyone let alone drawing :D im down for next weekend also :D Hope you guys can stay longer. Well atleast till 4 or a little earlier.

Well it was a good time.

Anyways, gtg draw somemore!

And for sure we should name are group.

Everyone that missed it, should come down for next time!!

[Sketch]

That was a lot of fun! I wish I could have stayed longer. Next week for sure. It gave me a lot of motivation to draw and fill my book so I can start a new one.

Cheers guys

[Warhead82]

For sure :D

[Bojee]

Congrats on your first meeting. :}

[Kryaus]

Definitely a good time :} Not sure if I will make next Sunday but I will try

[Tak]

K, I've migrated from the Sijun forums and would like to introduce myself. My name is Tak (Shadow-X-), I just moved to Vancouver to attend college. Since my life is lacking in the social aspect due to having no connections in Vancouver, it'd be awesome to meet some fellow artists. It's too bad that I missed the first meeting, if only I had checked the forums a few days earlier.
Anyhoo, Nice to meet you all, and I've added a few of you to my MSN so I can stay in the loop about these meetings.
My MSN is Tak_Narusawa@Hotmail.com.

Looking forward to the next meeting,
Tak

[angel of light]

i'm not sure if i can make it next sunday, but i'll try, it was a great time yesterday :confident

Edit: I started a thread in the sketches section for our group. post the work u do on our meets there.

[rubygenesis]

woopsie doodles i totally missed the first meeting how lame of me. :dead:

[MrFrost]

Its ok Ruby I missed it as well. But I am there 100% for next weeks meet...Glad to hear it was successful. :) :) :)

[Sketch]

Both of you better be there next week... otherwise the rest of us comming over to your places to draw on the walls!

[angel of light]

k people, u should seriously post your sketches.... that thread is dying supah quick! :nohope:

[goflamesgo]

Hey guys,

This sketch group you have going sounds great. I just moved back to vancouver,and just found out about the group today. Can I join in? I'm not sure for this weekend,but for future weekends I can make time to join. Anyways,you can see my stuff here...my stuff (http://photobucket.com/albums/v53/jongnyb/)

cheers,
R'john :}

[Spartan]

Damn - your stuff is awesome!
Can't wait to see you in action...

What do you guys think of picking a theme this weekend, and just going nuts on it. hen, when we revive the sketch thread, we'll dump in all our interpretations of the same theme...might look cool.

[MrFrost]

hmmm a theme eh?? what did you have in mind??

goflamesgo - Welcome aboard partner. :) The more the merrier....

[angel of light]

hmm a theme eh??? would be interesting, i hope it doesn't end up being something i really suck ass at drawing.

[Spartan]

Dunno - Something broad enough so we can get a ton of different interpretations, but that focuses us enough fo rus to produce cool stuff. Not like "The power of love and loss of innocence", but maybe some type of 'world' (deserty, icy, whatever) and we all design characters or creatures or plants that exist in it ..? Anything goes - you guys got any good ideas?

[Kryaus]

I am likin this idea. Mostly 'cause I don't know if I can make it down but I would still get to play :confident How about something like toxic swamp critters. You got your bugs, lizards birds & all kinds of glowing goo

[Sketch]

Hey Spartan, great idea. How bout 'cyberpunk'?

[Spartan]

Sure dude - It'd be cool if we all kicked out either some toxic swamp or cyber punk action. We can decide as a group when we meet on Sunday maybe...?

[goflamesgo]

Spartan and MrFrost,Thank you very much guys,I can't wait to see you guys in action also. I'll try to make this weeks meeting,but for sure next week I'll make it.

Anyways,I like the idea of picking a theme,it will force some of us to draw something different than we would usually draw. Which is a good thing every once in a while. :teeth:

cheers,
R'john

[Warhead82]

goflamesgo, your work is very good. :D Welcome aboard mate, i hope you saw the meeting post, in this thread, if not it is back more, also add me to msn chronic_candy69@hotmail.com

Spartan" i think it is a great idea to have a theme. Even though some of us are poor in some areas. But thats no prob, we will strive to do are best :D

So everyone that is coming, just show up, same time 11 am. Also for people that are new, if you are taking the skytrain just remember it is not the one, right across the street from the station. Just follow the instructions provided.

See you all soon!!! :D

[MrFrost]

ill be a little late myself, but ill be there regardless.....great day for it!!!! see you all soon.

[goflamesgo]

Hey Guys,

It was really great meeting all of you today. I really enjoyed drawing and chatting with you guys. I got really inspired seeing all of your sketches. Sorry I had to leave a bit early. Anyways,see you all next week...

Cheers,
:) R'John

:(
But I did see some crazy people on the SkyTrain.

[Warhead82]

tak your suppose to wait around a bit lol, people show dif times.

[Sketch]

I think most of us got there at around 11:15. We had a blast. Went with the theme of Pirates. Wich worked really well. Check my daily skethbook for my pics.

All the peeps that weren't at this one :nohope: ... better be at the next one.

[goflamesgo]

Hey guys,

glad to hear you had a great time. I couldn't make it today,I had some stuff to attend to. For sure I'll be there next week...I'll try to get my scanner going in a day or two and post my sketches from last week...

cheers all,
R'john

[Sketch]

Yeah we missed you guys. Would love to see everyone there next week. And we have to come up with another theme. Or maybe it's better if we just come up with it when we're there?

[MrFrost]

unfortunately i was feeling under the weather. so i couldnt make it. im there 100% this next one...Im thinking we should think of a theme before hand....get some ideas going, and then pick on the day of.

[Sketch]

Here's some ideas for the next subject:

Bodyguards

portraits of each other

getting someone else to do a random scribble in your sketchbook and you making something from that scribble

Witch Doctors

K, hurry and add yours. And then we can pick one on Sunday. Hope everyone can come.

Cheers

Matt

[JackalAnubis]

ooh I like witch doctors. how about "fringe of the riot" for a topic. hopefully I will be able to make it on sunday, which means I'll have to work extra hard on saturday getting my business takin care of

[MrFrost]

Im likin the portraits of each other...and the scribblin in other peoples books too :) :) great ideas sketch.

How about a shoot off from the portraits - make them mechanical ai's. robots if you wish....

are we going for the same time?? im kind hopin to do it earlier...i might be there earlier....what about everyone else??

[angel of light]

umm i'm pretty sure the place only opens at 11, so don't plan on getting there any earlier than that. i'll probably be there around the usual time 12:30ish

[Kryaus]

Is it still @ the Blenz or are we changing it up this week?

[Sketch]

Yeah, we'll still do it at Blendz

[MrFrost]

we should also maybe try out some days of the week perhaps. early evening for a few hours....my weekends are always so crazy. im not going to be able to stay long tomorrow :(

[Tak]

My bad. I thought the store opened up at 10, and that was when people were meeting. So all this time, I thought I was getting to the coffee place an hour after the "sceduled" meeting.

I'll be there tomorrow and make sure that my A.D.D doesn't kick in.... Hey, let's go ride bikes!

-Tak

[angel of light]

hmmm i may be slightly later than usual :S 1, but i'm still goina come

[Warhead82]

Hey, guys, sorry i didn't make it this sunday. I will be there next time. I had to deal with personal stuff. Sorry, sounds like it was fun.

Also for those who want to know. The place actually is open from 8am to 4pm. We just chose 11am for the time, to meet, because, then everyone can sleep :D

Later. Post the sketches :D

[angel of light]

sorry i couldn't make it guys, couldn't get free till 2 o'clcok! :$ so i didn't come down, hope yall had fun tho.

[Sketch]

Sorry, I couldn't make it today. Something at the last moment came up. Who all went?

[JackalAnubis]

I couldn't make it either, I've been practically at the fucking lab all weekend, hope to go next week

[Warhead82]

I am working at a store right now on 4th, we are getting a new plasma screen in, the whole 9 yards, I will talk with the owners next week and see if maybe we can arrange to have the group meet there on Sundays, it has awesome seating as well.

full coffee bar, lunch, dinner, you name it we can get it there as well as I am sure we can set up a special pricing for the group.

[MrFrost]

that would be tight bro. :)

[Sketch]

that sounds cool presence... but I like it downtown(closer to my place). Also, I know some people are comming from the skytrain and that would take an extra bus. What does everyone else think?

[angel of light]

hmm ya, i'm not such a big fan of taking an extra bus from the skytrain, but if everyone else wants to then i'll still come.

[MrFrost]

i hadnt thought about that....maybe we should just stick with downtown for now.

[zenmaster]

I just relocated here.

I'll be going to VFS in 2d animation.

Actually, i am looking for roomie now.

[MrFrost]

you're lookin for a roomie eh?? whereabouts??

[zenmaster]

Right now, I am looking for apartment close to the school. The campus is on Pacific Street and Burrard. I am looking at a 1 bedroom to share. Therefore, I'll avoid paying the transport fare. Otherwise, if theres an apartment less expensive in Kits or around that neighborhood, that's good too. If its a 20 minutes walk to school that's fine by me.

I saw a few apartments in the WestEnd that want for 750$ to 850$ which would be great. I don't want to pay more than 440$ for rent/month.

Here's the main thread I started about the subject:

[Presence]

guys I am super cool with downtown too, no problems there at all.

[JackalAnubis]

imah thinkin we might need a bigger place, how many people are planning to go this weekend? I'm really going to try to make it this time, I'm hoping I won't have as much workload as I did last weekend.

[Spartan]

Hey Guys -
Unfortunately, I won't be able to make this sunday - I'm heading to the island for some R&R :)
Good to see a new member, Presence - welcome!
Anyway - have a great time...catch all you fools next weekend!
Peace

[Warhead82]

Hey guys, yeah i will be there this sunday, so hope to see lots of you. Also yeah, we might need a new place soon, well if we get that one spot, with no sitting there, it fits 12 people, six at each table section.

If we do get something else, we should get something really cool, somehow.

[goflamesgo]

Hey Chris(Spartan),

See you next week man. Remember when we were talking about genetic grunge and I mentioned the comic Skydoll? Check it out man,I found a link to some artwork from a skydoll book...http://www.skydoll.com/gallery.html
I think the art is cool...

R'john

[Spartan]

Thanks man!
Looks awesome - gotta order me up this shit!

[J May]

Sorry guys (and gals), I wont be able to attend till Sunday the 17th of October. Curse you succulent turkey dinner!

See ya then!

jmay

[Warhead82]

k, everyone that is going please post ??

[goflamesgo]

I will be there for sure man... :teeth:

hey spartan,no problem man,glad you liked the link. The artist is awesome,like many other european artists. by the way Chris,you mentioned that you could lend me the maya 4 book. Could I borrow it next time you come to the sketch group? Only if its no trouble. Thanks...

R'john

[Kryaus]

I am afraid I won't be making the next couple of meetings. :frustrated:
I have to take care of some family stuff

[goflamesgo]

Thats ok kryaus,Just take care of that family stuff. Family is most important. Hope to see you again some other time,you had some cool stuff in your sketchbook.

Anyways,Spartan,you mentioned you like Jason Pearson right?

[Warhead82]

so its only me and goflames go this time?

If thats the only people, i dont think we should meet up this time. But if theres more then :D

[Sketch]

I want to go this week but I should be really getting some work done. So I say we cancel this week or just have a few people there, and make next week HUGE. Everyone be there next week!!! We can't let this die, it's too fun!

Cheers

Sketch

[goflamesgo]

yeah,if theres not gonna be many people coming tomorrow,I agree with Warhead82,maybe this week should be cancelled,and next week start up again.

R'john :^^;:

[Warhead82]

K yeah i say we just cancel it. So no one go tommorow. But we have to have it next weekend for sure. Lets talk about it through the week.

[JackalAnubis]

damn! I spent like 11 hours in the lab today so I could go tomorrow. oh well whatever, hopefully I can make time for next weekend

[Presence]

Hey guys, sorry about the late response but I lost an assistant manager at work this week so I have been solo for the past five days! :nohope:

I am totally up for something next week, the plasma screen will be mounted in about two weeks which is pretty sweet and there should be no problem in having everyone at the store, I know it is in Kits, and everyone seems to want down town but maybe this could be a nice second option!

[Warhead82]

Have pictures or anything?

[goflamesgo]

Hey All,

I was just thinking...what would you say to the idea of recruiting people for our sketch group from other art forums like...

http://www.boltcity.net/forum/index.php

http://www.sketchbooksessions.com/thedrawingboard/

http://artxilla.com/forum/

http://www.eatpoo.com/phpBB2/index.php

and so on...



:confident
R'john

[Sketch]

I think that's a great idea. We need a few more people so that what happened last week doesn't happen anymore. Oh yeah, I can't friggin make next week either... I'm going to Merit that night to stay at a cabin. :nohope:

[angel of light]

i can't make this week either. :\ going to a friends wedding, and then turkey dinner :nohope:

[Warhead82]

I should be able to make it.

[goflamesgo]

Me too,I can make it. Hehe,so far,it looks like its just you and me again Warhead... :teeth:

Hope some more of you can make it this week...
R'john

[Warhead82]

Yeah it does look like that. lol. well i hope more can go, so we don't have to cancel it again. :(

Justin.

[MrFrost]

Hey MrFrost,

Hey man,I'm also interested in going to the life drawing class,but it says on the website that its $10 drop-in fee for non-members. Did they drop the prices to $5 lately? Cuz if they did,I'd definitely go for $5,I really need to get into life drawing again... :}

Thanks for the info man,
R'john

[Presence]

Hey guys, just wanted to wish ya good times this Sunday, I am solo at the shop so I can't make it there but next week may be a whole different story (depending on if I leave the company)

I am so psyched for this I might just go and buy a new sketchpad for it, lol.

Happy thanksgiving guys.

And could someone please turn of the rain!! wow, just wow.

[Sketch]

Have a great time guys! I'll be there next week.

[Tak]

I'm always posting late, but I'm in for tomorrow (Oct 10th).
I gotta drop by a potential employment place anyhoo.

See you all there!

[Warhead82]

I actually can't make it tom, but seriously, lets make everyone go next weekend. :(

And Frost, man i am soo god damn wanting to go to this, life drawing shit, i really need to practise at figure drawing, i blow at it.

I would go to that at all those days.

[adien]

wow, you guys are meeting a block from my place. If you go out onto granville and nelson, look west up nelson, the brick building is where I live. :)

I haven't been drawing much in the last 6 months or so, and haven't posted to CA in a looong time, but man, this might be what I need to get motivated. too bad I missed your session today, but will see if I can make next week. Might drag a friend of mine along too. :)

[Warhead82]

awsome :D can;t wait to meet u

[Warhead82]

Yo guys -
Unfortunately, I can't make this coming one - Sketch, it looks like you and I are on opposite scheds dude! Anyway, it was cool chilling with Tak and RJohn. I hope all you guys make an effort to show up sunday - we really have to keep this thing going. Come winter it'll be awesome to draw a rainy sunday away...!

[Kryaus]

I'll be able to make it for this one. :} It will be good to see ya all again

[Warhead82]

i will be there :D

[J May]

I'm in! If we want a different place to hang we can drop in on Drexoll Games in West Van.

Drexoll (http://www.drexollgames.com) is an awesome place, with a number of booths and tons of inspirational material on the shelves. The owners (Darcy and Tamara) are cool with us being there.

I'm good either way, but this may be as sweet a venue as we'll find.

Cheers!
jm

[MrFrost]

goflamesgo - Hey bud - its 5 bucks if you buy a membership. otherwise its a 10.00 drop in fee, any time. Sorry i think i neglected to mention that.

Sorry i couldnt make it sunday, had thanksgiving dinner and all that....I havent even been able to draw on my own time. I just found out my cat has brought home some unwelcomed guests (fleas), and now i have to take care of that. if its not one thing its another.

adien - would be nice to see more people come. :) welcome to the vancouver posse.
If any of you are interested in going to the lifestudies classes during the week. pm me, and let me know what days you'd want to go. I would like to go during the week as well, as sometimes my weekends are way too crazy.

Nice to see some people went out on sunday though!! :)

[goflamesgo]

Hey MrFrost,thats cool man. I'll have to look into getting a membership. I really want to start life drawing again,I find it really helps with my figure drawing.

Spartan(Chris),dude,I just saw a bunch of skydoll books at sophies books on seymour and west pender. I think that is the right address,you might want to check the phonebook before you go,if you decide to go. The making of sky doll,is $40 and has pencils and concept sketchesd,and the two skydoll comics,are around $20. I wanted to get them,but I'm a little short on cash,so maybe next month. For the making of book,I think there are two left,skydoll 1,I think there is one left,and there are alot of skydoll 2. I think its pretty new,and thats why theres alot. All of the books are pretty nice,european style hard covers...

Welcome new guys!!!

R'john

[themovement]

I saw this thread over a week ago but I couldnt make it to the last one cuz of family stuff... but this one for sure and Im gonna bring a buddy of mine as well (I dont think hes registered for conceptart yet)

And btw on the website it says the life drawing classes are $10 for non-members and $8 for members - with membership @ $40/year

Im going to check it out on Saturday - maybe it could be like a warm up for Sunday? Anyways my life-drawing skills are lacking so Ill be there

I might also bring another friend down but Im trying to get them to register and get involved in the site, they are both talented

See you guys Sunday!

[IKARUGA94]

Hey guys...N00b here.....cool thread you got going- actually saw the thread over on Artxilla.com....whats this sketch group all about?

[MrFrost]

themovement - Hey!!! Very cool, I will definately be there on saturday. so we'll see you there. My names Dave. Who would you be going as??

IKARUGA94 - Welcome to CA, we set this group up, just for a chill session. All we do is get together, and draw up a storm for a few hours. The more the merrier!! Be sure to come!!

[Warhead82]

IKARUGA94 and the movement come down and check it out its fun!

[IKARUGA94]

Sorry Its kinda short notice before tomorrow........still not sure where your meetings exactly take place.... Blendz coffee shop..... what part downtown? does it change every week or so?...sorry for the confusion, just wanted to clarify things a bit......:^^;:

[MrFrost]

every sunday same place. nelson and granville. the blenz coffe shop there :)

[J May]

Kryaus, RubyGenesis, you two showing up this Sunday? Meeting any particular time or just any time after 1 pm?

Cheers,
jm

[Warhead82]

Are we still meeting at 11am?

And ikaru, the directions are in this thread, but here i will repost them

Ok guys this is it. I went downtown today, but i couldn't really find that soho place well, cause i am walking and, it was supposively so damn far away from where i was. So i found a different place. But it seems pretty good, i have pictures.

- Ok the place is called -- BLENZ COFFEE BLENZ

- It is located on the corner of Granville and Nelson street.

- The girl working there said it was cool if we come in there, if we buy a couple drinks or something, like cofee, pop, juice, muffins and shit, whatever you want...

They are open at 8am to 4 pm.

One of the reason's i chose this place was because there wasn't very many people in there. So lots more room for us. And there was tables close together, and fit 6 people on each. and there is 2 rows, therefore 12. Plus more scattered around. If we don't like it, we can always move somewhere else together.

If you are taking the bus and skytrain, how to get there on skytrain. When you get to Granville Skytrain station, when you are coming out of the skytrain station, take a left, and get on the otherside of the road, and walk all the way down the street, until you see BLENZ COFFEE BLENZ, and thats the place, it is really close to the skytrain station. It will be on your right side.

Here are a few pictures of the place.

These were the tables i was talking about, harder to tell in pic, but they are good.

They fit 2 people table.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Warhead82/inside.jpg

Also here is a view of sort of some more of the place. There is more to the right, plus outside and a bit in the back of the place.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v...d82/inside2.jpg

And so you know what the place looks like, here is a pic of the outside.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v158/Warhead82/outside.jpg

If i missed anything, tell me.

Now also, what would be a good time for everyone to meet?????
Also, do you guys want to meet this sunday or next?????

Everyone please respond to the above questions.

Thanks.

Justin.

[Tak]

Sorry Its kinda short notice before tomorrow........still not sure where your meetings exactly take place.... Blendz coffee shop..... what part downtown? does it change every week or so?...sorry for the confusion, just wanted to clarify things a bit......:^^;:

Just look for Kripps Convenience store at Nelson & Granville, and we're right across from that store. I was sitting in the coffe shop last week sketching the front of the Kripps place. It's right at the corner of the intersection.

I'll be there for Tomorrow (Oct. 17th), are people still planning on showing up ?

[Kryaus]

Yup. Looking forward to it. be there about 11 am or so

[Warhead82]

i will be there for sure, about 11am or latest 12

[goflamesgo]

I'll be there,looking forward to seeing you guys and the new guys too... 8)

R'john

[themovement]

I just got home - its 3:20 am - I'll try to be there at 11

Now I zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz :$

[adien]

umm.. sorry i didn't make it this week guys. was looking forward to meeting you all.

Went out to see Max Graham last night at the Drink... lots of alcohol.. party moved to my place after the club (perils of living downtown)... lots more alcohol... got to bed around 8am..

woke up at 12:30 and faced the choice of sleeping off the massive hangover or going to draw with a massive hangover. :-D

I'll come out next week for sure.

[IKARUGA94]

[Warhead82]

Everyone that didnt go, i would have to say missed out on the best sketch group meeting of all time! It was nuts.

And everyone that did go, it was great great times, had so much fun didnt want to leave. And welcome to so many of the new members that showed up. :D looking forward to seeing the other new members also, and everyone else that missed it. I guarantee, if we have everyone there at once we will definetely need a new meeting place"bigger" place. But blendz is still working out for now...

Dope times guys, and pablo, or "paul" - it was awsome meeting you man, your an awsome guy, and made it alot of fun, good luck with the trip back to LA and hope you come down again, if your in the area :P and if you see this :P

PEACE.

Justin.

[themovement]

Yea good times guys - I wanted to ditch my gfs 25th anniversary to stay home and draw! It was definately inspirational, as well as informative - I'll be there next week for sure!!! :canadian:

[Presence]

Hey guys, well I have to say I am choked I missed out on the group this weekend BUT I confirmed it with the owners and we are more than welcome to have the group in on a permanent basis, now I know everyone has been meeting on granville but the shop is in kits.

You can either take the burrard st or granville st bus across the bridge, we are two blocks up from Westbeach and Pacific Boarder.

Plus, the plasma screen is going in on Tuesday and I just got surround sound wired into the store lol. We have a full coffee bar, lunch, muffins, cookies, you name it.

Let me know if Kits will work for everyone!

[MrFrost]

god, i knew id be kicking myself for not going....the weather was so univiting...turned into a bad excuse for not going...I think i need a slap from everyone that went...so please slap me. :nohope:

another thing. I would like to see what everyone thinks about also making a day during the week, where we could all meet up as well. Kind of like an alternative if sunday is no good. What do you guys think??

[J May]

Hey Presence, no probs making Kits for me. Great meeting you all, some pretty inspirational stuff was passed around...sketchbooks full-o-goodness!

Thanks again, see you in a couple of weeks.

Cheers,
jm

[Spartan]

Hey Guys - sorry I missed out, apparently, I REALLY missed out!

So whats the deal with next week, we're changing venues?!

[Warhead82]

We shouldn't change places yet, but presence, is this place, like really good, can you get pictures or something?? And is there tables like all bunched together, so we can all sit together??


If so good, and i mean about 20 seats, with drawing room on a table?? Cause we have about, 15 or more if everyone shows. Plus all the new comers, that will probably eventually join. Think you can get a pic, or a few, so that we, know what this place looks like, and we don't get screwed going there, cause blendz is going good right now. But if you have a better place and can prove it to us hehe, well then, dope.

Also blendz is really good for new people, and people that don't really know the area too well, because it is really easy to find, especially if you are taking, bus. We don't want people not coming, cause they can't find the place or some silly reason. So if you can get balling out of control directions, i mean good.

:D

Yeah you guys missed out big time! It should be kickass the next too if people show.

Well just to start it off now, im totally down for this weekend.

[JackalAnubis]

I am 100% availible for this sunday, saturday for life drawing too probably. finally some free time!

[goflamesgo]

Hey guys,

Yeah,you guys who couldn't come definitely missed out on a good one. I had alot of fun sketching and chatting with all of you,old and new members...

See you all this sunday,

R'john


ps.thanks prescence,that sounds awesome,but I have to agree with justin that we should stay at blendz for now. When were more established and larger as a group,then we should move,possibly to kits...thats just my take on the issue...

[Presence]

Yeah War if everyone wants to keep it going at Blenz it is probably a good idea.

I only have seating for about 10 people and half of that is front counter bar style seating.

The directions are super simple though, if you are downtown just take the burrard street bus across the bridge to West4th get off and walk west two blocks.

We have a full late/cap bar, cookies, muffins, etc.

War if ya want stop by, coffee is on me man.

[Warhead82]

Heh, i think we should just stick with blendz for now. We have more seats then the place you have anyhow.

Anyway presence come down to blendz this weekend, this sunday, and meet us, and draw :D

[Warhead82]

People lets start discussing now, who is all going on sunday, i am going. :D

Others ?

[goflamesgo]

I'll be there on Sunday...come on guys,lets have a great turn out like last sunday :canadian: :canadian: :^^:

R'john

[themovement]

[MrFrost]

i swear on my kneaded eraser and most favorite mechancial pencil that i will be there....if I'm not I will give it away ($15.00 value) ;)

[J May]

Hello eveyone. I just heard about this group the other day. I'm intrested in coming execpt for the fact that I'm booked for the comming sundays and wont be able to make it till the... *checks agenda* The 14th. I'll be sure to come that day, but I might just end up poping in earlyer.
I've never done anything like this before and I know I'll feel out of place. I'm 19 and I'm just getting back into drawing, so I bet I'll be the youngest and most inexperianced there. :S

[MrFrost]

welcome to the group zhat, we welcome you with open arms.

[Sketch]

[adien]

hey guys, sorry for missing out on the sketch group this week. Went to Halloween parties both saturday and sunday night.. ow my head still hurts.

Anyways, I should have no problem making next week, i think, except a friend from Montreal is in town...

I'll try to make it. Even though I didn't draw much last time (i talk to much!), it got me drawing again, and have been doodling at work and drawing at home. Great group! btw, my msn is ohms123@hotmail.com

[MrFrost]

like most here....haloween parties left me, for lack of better terms. exhausted. sorry i couldnt go.

It was totally fun - some homeless dude wandered in and put a painting down aginst the wall. Then, an hour later, he comes running back in, picks up the painting, NAILS IT TO THE WALL, and starts to run out. Now get this: HE DOUBLES BACK TO STRAIGHTEN IT! Once its satisfactory, he sorta shambles out the door, leaving everyone either laughing or looking completely puzzled. ahh - good times.


Oh yeah, and their coffee bar was busted too.

How about some kind of redesigns?game,comics,cartoons,movie characters,previous character you designed, etc... :android:

clothing designs of people from different worlds,universes? Like designs for garbage men,police,postal workers,sushi chefs from the future or something like that...


Environments?

animals?

It would be great to have a set theme for each week,it will force us to do something outside of our usual stuff

I had a great time as usual everybody. I look forward to next week. Maybe we should suggest themes during the week,and then choose a theme by saturday. What do you think? Also,me and spartan were talking yesterday,and discussed a possibliity of a group project. Maybe creating a whole new world or environment. Would you guys be interested in something like that? It would allow us to hone our concept design skills. Anyways,if we decided to do something like that,people who are not interested in the idea of a project could just sketch anything like they usually do...

Hey adien,it was cool seeing you again man.hope to see you regularly. The new drawing in your sketchbook looks good man. The only suggestion I could make is just to add hands and a head ;),but seriously,I suggest you try sketching out the body shape first,then go into the details,I found it is the best approach for me... :^^:

[goflamesgo]

hey sketch and warhead,no problem guys,its totally understandable...hope to see you next week though :teeth:
