The next one?

[Ra Havok]

Maybe this isn't the right place to ask this, but is there going to be another workshop this year?
If so, where and when?

[Profil]

with the information I have obtained.
Place: Prauge
When: Early summer/late spring.

But DONT take that as correct information.

[Ra Havok]

Oh hell yeah.

[Layil]

Id heard prague septemberish, but again, dont take my word for it. Putting these things together is a retarded amount of work, and these guys deserve a nice long break before they do it again. Cant wait!! and all of you who couldnt make it to the last three (four counting berlin) DONT miss the next one!!!! Youll regret it if you do!

[arghmisfit]

A prague workshop would kik @ss! i'd like to see the workshop being held during the summer of 2006 so i can get really good b4 it :P

[Sanby]

Yeah, I can't wait to see when the next one is. I'd rather have in summer cause then it's easier for me to make it, but whenever it is, I am gonna try so hard to get there. Man, I really want to go to one. Guess I need a job so I can save up some money.

Sanby

[Jason Manley]

see you in prague folks! It's the Europeans turn!

sept 05 here we come!

[|NTeRN]

[dadamafia]

[jetpack42]

Seattle in 06.

[Fipse]

So September in Prague? Great news, Jason! I envied all of you in SF (and Austin before) but my wife thought paying the loans for our house would be more important than going to a workshop :P.

Good to know and I hope I will get a bit better before meeting you guys again.

Fipse
(who just checked the prices for flights to Prague - 25 Euro from my hometown!)

[bosquejo]

i'll seriously try to go to Prague. One thing it's true; it not as expensive for me as traveling to America. I wanna go and visit Prague. It seems a wonderful city..

but eh! people..
what about the next european workshop getting place in Spain? Madrid or Barcelona for example. Nice cities and you know.. (Spain) land of Velazquez, Goya, Sorolla, Murillo, Gaudí, Picasso, Dalí, Miró.. and many others!

come'on! ;)

[Miau]

YESS! :)...
i will not miss another one! see you there :perv:

[ArtbyWard]

Hell yeah!

As an European i won't miss this!

If i'm not there i'm dead

[USER777]

oh noes.. i so wanna come but i dont have any money yet.. and i also have to pay for a new car, holidays, driving license and stuff... i'm so fucked up.. GOTTA GET SOME CASH

hope to see y'all in prague. at least i dont have to go there by plane..

:^^;:

[Skuli]

man.. I wanna go :O
but one question.. is this gonna be as big as austin or sf ?

[USER777]

man.. I wanna go :O
but one question.. is this gonna be as big as austin or sf ?

let's hope it's even BIGGER!
:confident

[Steph Laberis]

September 05 in Prague? SO SOON?! Ugh, how can you tempt me with such choices while my checking account lies wounded in a ditch?

...if by some miracle I have an extra $1500 kickin' around in 9 months... I'll be there. I met too many awesome Euro-CAers not to. Hear that, Res, Richie and Dirty C? Y'all better take an extra day to show me around London!

[-MonkeyBoy-]

Mad props for picking Prague - it's a fantastic city, and the beer is the best in the world (and cheaper than water - literally). Can't wait - I'll be there with my hair in a braid (gotta start saving now). :bounce:

[donkeyslayer]

guys in the states, if you can save 200 bucks per month til september, you can have enough money to go
i'm budgeting aalready :donk:

[nova]

Seattle in 06.

seattle in 06, indeed! >:D

[Wazzz]

I will totally be there! I have visited Prague last month, but I dont think I've seen even the top of the beautiful Iceberg that is Prague.

-PS-
I think I've heard Marko and Andrew talk about Mucha's Slav Epic in Berlin. So I was very excited to go see it when I was in Prague. Imagine my disappointment when I learned that the Epic is not IN Prague at all!
word of warning guys: the epic is NOT in Prague, but somewhere in Moravia, near where Mucha was born, close to the Austrian border. FYI.

[Carnifex]

ohh prague...sweeeeet...that's like a 2(?) hours drive from where i live-so it would definately come off less cost-intensive.
the only worry i have is that i need to get enough holidays from my bosses. :$
otherwise i'm so fucking there.

[AngryScientist]

Prague?! Finally us european folks will get a workshop! The US is just too far away, and SF and Seattle are in the faaaaaar west :/ So yeah, Prague, here I come!! :teeth: :teeth: :teeth: >:D

[maxetormer]

I missed the last one but I am definitly going to this one
(no matter what, cant wait for it!) :D see ya there !!!

[arghmisfit]

somewhere in canada 06!!!! :^^:

i already applied for jobs, to save up for prague.

[adraude]

I am saving, too. Prague in September? I'll be there!

[nmcleod]

ooohhh yea, i'll definitely be at this one, i've missed too many of these. already started saving, so i'll be there for sure.

somewhere in canada 06!!!! :^^:

i already applied for jobs, to save up for prague.

haha yes, a canadian WS would be great, maybe in BC somewhere, that would be niice.

peace
-nate

[0kelvin]

Prague, I am so there. I'm already saving up.


haha yes, a canadian WS would be great, maybe in BC somewhere, that would be niice.

It's got my vote, whatever that might count for! You can all stay at my house!

[MoP]

Mmmm, Prague sounds do-able ... flights there from the UK are pretty damn cheap!

One word of advice to the organisers, though - I'd seriously consider making it the first week of September, preferably the first few days.
I know there are many students in Europe (I'm one of them!) who would love to attend, but our school terms start early in September, and therefore it might be tricky getting time off school/university to get there in the middle of the month, especially at the start of a new academic year.
A few days at the very beginning of September for the workshop would be ideal, since it would make the workshop accessible to a much larger potential audience...

Just a thought!

MoP

[Brall]

How about Toronto in 06? Give us igloo builders up here a break too! :P

[Tenelaus]

I second what MoP says, it's really an arse to miss the first few days of the school or college year, especially if you're starting at a new college.

[Floris Didden]

September the 5th, that's the exact date the new semester starts, ha!, bloody brilliant. I'll start trying to convince em this is more important for my development then the 1st week in school :yayca: .

[Art_Addict]

I'm there , no doubt about it!! 8)

Don't you dare say that!! BELGIUM is THE land for beer!! You can even ask all the dutchies in here :confident

[Hanuka]

Prague is absolutely awesome. Wasnt it already considered for a workshop in september 04? I remember those rumors at the A'dam WS.
I'll sooo be there. :D Just keep the tuitions payable ;) How much was it for the one in SF?

[goflamesgo]

Vancouver Please!!!
It's Canada's turn next after europe right?
Will there ever be one in Asia? That would be really cool. :)

Prague here i come!

[nicolas]

Prague?! Why that's practically right around the corner.....haha. I'm there!!!!

[PhilHolland]

Prague will be nice. But, I'll saw off my leg if the next US one isn't in Los Angeles. Or just outside LA, say the valley. Cheap locations, cheap hotels, tons to do after 9pm, plus, plus, plus we can get some of the local guys in.

Come on. I don't want to saw off my leg!

[Jason Manley]

san fran is right around the corner from LA phil. my guess is youll have to cut off a toe or two.

the only place in LA i would consider throwing the event is well two places...Venice, and Laguna Beach. the rest of la is the asshole of the united states. without cars the peeps be doomed.

[JoshuaTheJames]

the rest of la is the asshole of the united states. without cars the peeps be doomed.

Hahahahah. That's hilarious. I profoundly agree.

[jetpack42]

breathing is overrated.

[AmishCommy]

I know this will probably not happen because its sooo pricy here, but what about NYC in 2006? its fucking NYC!!! This is assuming that I'll still be living here. Well if it is in NYC and I end up surviving in the city until that day i'll be happy to house whoever will fit.


and if by some chance I get a sweet job in the next few months and able to save up then i'll deffinetly try to make it out to prague. (that is if the ComicCon 2005 doesn't break me.)

[Noc]

omg, im so going. I absoutly adore prague...went to the biggest club there, that 4 story crazy stupid one, pilsner was less then 1$!!!! do u understand how drunk I will be and how crappy I will be drawing while im that inhebriated! you guys are bloody brilliant I say! BRILLIANTTTTT!!!!!

o btw, how much you think a ticket from san diego to there is? whats the cheapest way to get there? I really wanna go.

[KevinP]

Whats with the LA haters? Its like I'm watching ESPN.
You guys cut me deep in a very special place...
I'm extremely happy the big nasty mainstream film and gaming communities dont share your dislike of our great weather and vibrant cultural mix. Hopefully your slighted opinions won't hurt our multi-billion dollar tourist or entertainment industries. Of which I'm confident our respective vocations rely.
Only kidding of course, I know that wasnt your light-hearted if not off color intent. Although I can think plenty of other cities in this great land of ours that truly deserve that title, I wouldn't be so fast to hand them the trophy.

Cheers Phil, I love LA as well. It would be a great opportunity to bring out some heavy LA hitters as you suggested.
Newport more than Laguna would be nice also or perhaps Santa Monica more than Venice, imo Jason.

Born in Burbank, raised in LA now live on the beach. What up, haters. Wait, how's the weather outside...?
WEST SIDE!

Have a great time in Prague y'all. Sounds like a great venue though I'm sure to some its considered the armpit of the Czech Republic. Heh heh

Oh, come on...

[jetpack42]

You know, I was thinking. The workshop could be in "The OC" (Orange County) next time, and then afterwords we can find locals to make out with/fight every 5 minutes. Life is wild in the OC!

[|NTeRN]

ahhaah Jetpack, plus EVERYONE IS BEAUTIFUL HERE!!!!!! but becalre of your friends... they may stab u in the back when you least expect it. CRAZYNESS :D

santa monica is nice...but it doesnt have the feel that venice does. but perhaps santa monica is better cuz peeps can be close to the action at night. during the day venice beach is one of the few oasis in the city...but we would be in the workshops.

newport..yawn...laguna ownz newport and huntington combined. ;) art, sculpture, and walk everywhere. no car needed in either newport or laguna but laguna has a much more concentrated cultural feel. plus taco loco is there and the beach isnt full of garbage. tee hee.

there is a big push to have it in san fran again....we shall see.

[FuT]

I suggest that the next WS should be held in Estonia, very nice country in my opinion :confident ........the beer costs only 0.6 euros ;)
But actually im trying to get to prague this time. I will have a job in summer to get the money. really really would like to make it this time. would like to meet my friends......even though they dont know yet that they are my friends :teeth:

[Nero's Master]

OOOoooooo..Prague would be so awsome. Never been outside of the US and what better way to start it off than going to a CA workshop? :teeth: Hopefully there won't be a big project going on at work so I can get some time off. And save money. OMG! I wanna go. :teeth:

[-MonkeyBoy-]

I loved San Fran and as far as I'm concerned you could have the US ones there every year from now on :-)

[Main Loop]

there is a big push to have it in san fran again....we shall see.

sweeeet.. then id actually go this time

[Profil]

Prague For Life!

[aesir]

Prauge is soooooo far away, and considering that I really hate traveling long distances, I doubt I would make that one :( However if its in LA or san fran again, I would definitely be there. Well... if I have any money... which is up in the air...

[Hanuka]

sheesh. LA... california again? :) canada would be nice in 06. i've always wanted to make a trip to canada :>
over there are quite a few ca members anyways, so...

[CenTuriOn..!!~]

Hopefully the next one is between college semesters. A lot more ppl would be able to attend if school is out. I loved the one in SF, but wont be able to go if it's during college..!!~ :donk:

[Leopoldo]

Hi guys,

Maybe Dan Milligan would like to come to the Prague workshop if he feels up for it.
Might be nice to get away and do something radically different after what all he's been thru?

It would nice to meet some new people rather than the exact same line up that was in Amsterdam/Berlin (no offence guys, you know I'm your number 1 fan. I just want to learn as much as I can from as many as I can :)

Then again - maybe not. Just a thought.

Leopoldo

[GriNGo]

a south america session would be cool, but I guess you wouldnt want to come. a small workshop would suffice.

greetings!
GriNGoLoCo

[shadow]

it'd be really cool if there was a way of having two workshops in '05, one in prague, one in canada....

i doubt it, but again, it would be cool :)

[Blind]

:an: :ay: :ac: :a!: :a!:

[benzo]

I would love to go to one in Montreal, maybe adjacent to the Jazz festival they have there in the summer. I'm not a big jazz fan or anything, but that's supposed to be a crazy party there.

[Sanby]

Yeah, Montreal would rock, it's a kewl place, and it's not too far from where live, I could drive. And, let's face it, the number one thing is making it good for me :P And, Jaz is pretty kewl, so that wopuld be a good time, although that would be total sensory overload.

Sanby

[maxetormer]

I vote for Prage for the next WSHP,
that way i would not need to get
a visa to assit, :D

P. S. I dont suposse you fellas
would like to make it in México, he he,

[Soja]

Damn it!! Prague would be very nice!!!
How about one in Berlin again!! That was so cool last year!!!
But I wont missed the next ws!!!
My heart broked caused i missed the one in san fran!!!

[The Iconoclast]

Philly? NYC? Anything around the tristate area PLEASE!! :bashful: Well I'll try and come to anything within 400-500 miles from here, but to the right, the ocean lies.

[gugesbri]

How about keeping it in the states?
Overseas sounds too expensive.
I'm from the New York City area.
If NYC is too expensive, how about Boston, Austin again, Frisco
or San Diego?

Did the San Fran Workshop Turn a Profit or even Break even? I hope so. Cause if not, there might not be another for a while. :nohope:

[Jason Manley]

europe is next. they alternate. nyc is great and all but it just aint gonna happen for a while...if ever. if we hit the east coast we will do washington dc since all the museums and culture are free. nyc is a trip all on its own.

enough profit was turned to build some of the new site tech...cant ask for better than that...especially when it looked like we wouldnt be able to do it anymore.


you all are in for some cool surprises on the site in the next year...or even months.


j

[Brall]

Ohh, I wonder what they can be??

As for workshops, after Europe why not pack up and take the show to Canada? :canadapatriot:

I think we have enough Canadian member here that would be forever gratefull to the powers that be for such a kind present to us. A number of perks to holding the next workshop in Canada would be:

1) Places like Montreal, Quebec city, Vancouver, Toronto. They all have a pretty vibrant art art community and culture, possibly with Montreal having an edge in this regard.

2) :canadian: We are the 2nd Largest nation (by land area) in the world.

3) Our money is rubbish and pretty much everyone will get a good exchange rate here.

so what do you say? I say Canada in 2006! CAN-AH-DAH!!!!!! :D

[Skuli]

How about keeping it in the states?
Overseas sounds too expensive.

well what about the people from Europe?... overseas (to the states) is expensive for them too...
I think it's a good jumping between Europe and USA
just hope my mom allows me to go :\

[PhilHolland]

I actually disagree with Manley on something!

Phil says: The valley is way cheap to stay in. Hotels range from $35 a night and up. People have taken taxis at both workshops now. I don't know if we can beat Austin on cab prices, but the average cost to get from one end of the valley to the other is $7-9. That's cheap.

Hmmmm. What else. Locations are nice a cheap. Maybe even free, but that's more work. Continental art supply is pretty close by.

Plus we have restaurants and fun places open way late. Yeah.

All I'm saying is check out the valley. West Hills, Woodland Hills, Chatsworth. That area basically around Topanga Canyon Blvd. Come down here man. See it for yourself. There are large empty buildings that can be rented out man. Like 140,000 square feet. You'd have to rent chairs and get some tables and things, but I bet it can still be done cheaper in this area. Ask some people at Neversoft if they like the valley :)

Venice would be cool, but then you get back up in the things closing early and more expensive cab stuff. Venice is cool if you live near the water, but the rest of it pretty crappy. I don't know many large venue locations down there either. But, the beach would be awesome....... Hell, I don't live there and it's close to work!

Bah. Not an argument, just a suggestion.

Cheers!

Phil

[GriNGo]

:yayca: Washington DC 2007. here I come.

later,
GRiNGoLoCo

[Blind]

if we hit the east coast we will do washington dc since all the museums and culture are free.Sounds good to me <= 4 hour drive, no problem. :rendered:

Jason: Yeah, we could get lost in the museums down there for four days without even doing a workshop. You may want to extend that trip a little: say, 3 or 4 days for the workshop, then a day or two to unwind and have a CA field trip through the Smithsonian et al? I'd be into it.

[donkeyslayer]

awesome. now i can justify to myself spending a grand and a half (that's a cintiq right there) to go to prague. i'll make up for it by not having to fly to DC. it's like 2 hours away. :P

[mic]

Will a workshop like this ever grace the lands of Southern Africa?? I've prepared a mini essay many months ago to be posted here but was afraid that it wouldn't be taken into consideration. But I don't care anymore so I'll just post it.

It's just a direct copy&paste:

---Start---

I've been lurking around here for quite some time now and I have noticed that there have been that there has already been a few workshops that have taken placed over that last few years. If memory serves me correct, Amsterdam is one of the places where a workshop had taken place. This means that it is not bound to only the US. So my question to you is, Would there be any chance of a workshop taking place in South Africa?

For many years now, there has been really little change in the way art is taught in SA. In the current school I attend, the drawing/painting side seems to be rather lacking. A lot of people who have studied there and compared it to the universities claim that this school is probably one of the best in SA. But when I look at some of the Atliers in the US and Europe and I compare it to my school… there's just no comparison. My mission to find an Atlier or something that looks like an Atlier has been nothing but failures. I've tried to organise a figure drawing group but it always ends up in a serious flop due to students having problems of their own or a lack of motivation/inspiration. In the end, I just go home and do self portraits and Barque drawings hoping something would change. Studying overseas for me (and many others) is not really an option since I'm quite restricted by funds.

The school I attend tends to be more on the design side of things (you can check www.openwindow.co.za to see the structure their course), but they do seem to want to give 3D animation a boost (since that's what most of the students come to this school for). But from the way things seem to be, I really doubt that the 3D will go very far any time soon.

I think it's time to conclude what I want to say. I really think that a Workshop like this would be very inspirational and make the students and the lecturers realise that there is a need for better Art education in SA.

---End---

I hope someone reads it. :^^:

[CleptoCat]

How about Nashville. Its got the Grand Ole Opry. :moon: . Ok I know thatll not happen. Unless it did

[AmishCommy]

DC 2007 sounds cool. I havent been to DC since I was a kid. And being the politics geek that I am helps keep the DC more enticing.

also, NYC is not gonna happen but waht about the other culture capital of USA: NORTH DAKOTA!!!!

[gugesbri]

D.C. sounds great in 2007.
I'll keep my finger's crossed.

If not, good luck in Europe
and I'll wait till 2008.

screw 07.

06, baby! :confident

[Oshiroii]

Prague would be very very nice, it's pretty close to my country and it's pretty damn cheap too, but I might want to get a job in the summer or something :nohope:

I'd love to go with some other people from the Netherlands ;)

[donkeyslayer]

yeah, if they are planned out every 6 months or so, the next US one should be in 06, so it should be in DC. i've been to DC a few times as a kiddo. the aero space museum is tight. always one of my favorites (and buying freeze-dried astronaut food from there is an easy meal idea)

[bRyaN]

Frisco would be the best place...

Because most of the professionals who attend are from or near the area...
The sponsors are from or near the area in most cases...

The organizers are from or near the area...

NYC has strong points...
Plenty of Museums(most are free, the prices are suggested not mandatory)
No cabbing cause everything and anything is accessbile via subway...(you would purchase a 7-day pass for 21 dollars and easily get your monies worth in 2 days into the Shop)
I live there(had to throw that one in)

And so many art schools that getting people to attend in the area would be ridiculous...

but whatever, wherever..i'm down

[Jaku]

Bryan! forget NYC dude!
you have to come to the one in Spain whenever it takes place. :D

You´ll have fun here!! :wink:

And we´ve good food /m\ :dur:

[cotron]

DC sounds good, but I don't really know how the hotel/location situation would work. I grew up outside of the area and rode the metro in almost every weekend... it's pretty ghetto outside the touristy areas, and I'm assuming the workshop space would be away from the Mall and L'Enfant Plaza... but I'm guessing Jason has a better idea of the options than I do. The metro runs a pretty good distance, so it could be outside of the city and the museums could still be accessible.

The museums are some of the best the country has to offer, and they're all free. It's great.

[bRyaN]

Bryan! forget NYC dude!
you have to come to the one in Spain whenever it takes place. :D

You´ll have fun here!! :wink:

And we´ve good food /m\ :dur:

HAHAHA...what's up man....

I'll be getting over to spain in the future definately....

[thebluepuppy]

washington dc baby...oh yeah. ill be there. <3 .

[bosquejo]

here it goes another vote for.. Spain!! (Jaku ;)

now going serious.. as i wrote some days ago in this thread saying about some workshop getting place in Spain in the future, it's a great country, with great museums, beaches (at the cost) and nice places for a workshop.

But now i have thought about an idea, please let me explain you:

ok, we have workshops in either united states and europe every year. first usa, then europe. right, that's ok. now having read many of the opinions here written i think that this would be COOL:

the main idea is rotating the locations where the workshop takes place so everyone or at least a big number of people can get into some workshop.
so every year in each country (usa/europe) it moves from east to west or from west to east covering a very big space.

(for example)

* year 'x':
- usa workshop: san francisco
- european ws: prague

* year 'x+1'
- usa workshop: austin(/vancouver?)
- european ws: paris/london

* year 'x+2'
- usa workshop: new york city
- european ws: spain

and then repeat.

here the usa workshops moves from west to east.
and the european one from east to west.

catch the idea? well, what are your opinions?
thanks for reading.

[SamBrown36]

If this workshop in Prague is going down I'll try and stay in Germany longer, Prague's right around the corner...

[fixx]

Where ever it is, let's make it someplace cold so I won't have to worry about fitting into a bikini eh? ;)

[goldenavatar]

:wink: I'm good for any CA Workshop in the North-eastern US, from New York down to Virginia whenever it goes down, so long as i have at least 6 to 8 months to prepare for it. I am a bit curious about something though, with so many folks in so many spread out places in North America, maybe either cooking up something like a small seminar kind of thing in various States/Provinces or encouraging folks to refer each other to beneficial infomation options already going on in their area would be more accomodating to folks who can't do the international traveling thing.

[Chяis]

Toronto so I can go too! :bounce: :canadian:

[arghmisfit]

vancouver or toronto would be amazing :} :canadapatriot:

[vigostar]

Hey, I know that Im a lamen around here but, I feel that Canada would be a great deal... Its inexpensive, great culture, cheap eats, cheap hotels, nice night life (for those interested), and a very relaxed environment. Canada has to be one of the most neutral areas to go to... anyways, thats my 2 cents...

[Brall]

Yeah! Show Canada some sweet concept art love! :D

[loomer]

I'm in New York , so that would be awesome for me, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to do it at this point. Boston or DC is a pretty decent East Coast alternative.
Perhaps I'll have my own workshop from my living room on feeding cats and putting newborns to sleep. Tuition is free.

[egerie]

I'm suprised Montreal got fans :) The city is full of festivals ALL THE TIME. Even in winter, we're currently in the Lights festival. I was walking around downtown the other day and it looked like they were building sliding ramps in the middle of the main streets. Trucks upon trucks of snow... :o
In the summer there's Jazz festival which is indeed huge, just for laughs, nights of africa, etc. PARTY ON !

[EVIL]

sept the 5th? noooo!!!! dammit, don't do this to me, school starts again sept 6th
And I cant just turn up 4 days later.

[Roman.L]

Shit, i just forgot about school. NOoooo.
This is the first time I decided to go to a CA Workshop and there school comes in my way. >:{ >:{

[EVIL]

Can't they rescedual it a couple of weeks earlier? school is important and I dont want to miss it, and the workshop is the only thing that would cause me to say .. FUCK SCHOOL!

But on the other hand, you don't want me to miss school, now would you?!

[MoP]

Yeah, I mentioned this earlier in the thread - having the workshop in the 1st/2nd week of September really alienates a lot of European students who have the first week of a new academic year to attend (usually fairly important - not so easy to miss!)... the last week of August would be perfect, I think, since it would allow all those students to make it to the workshop and not miss out on any education or enrolment...

Surely it's not so difficult to make it a week earlier? From a business point of view, you'd get more customers, which equals more money... and from a CA.org point of view, you'd get even more people attending! Makes sense, yeah?

Canada in 2006 sounds good :wink:

Where ever it is, let's make it someplace cold so I won't have to worry about fitting into a bikini eh? ;)


But i WANNA wear a BIKINI!

And if there are any girls there i wanna DO THEM!



...
Roll to see if i get drunk...

See you guys in prague!

[Jason Manley]

well it sounds like the last week of august is the best time....I will start looking into things for the next workshop very soon...will post more info as it comes in.


j

[Jaku]

August would be perfect Jason. :confident

[MoP]

Awesome Jason. I might be able to make it, money allowing...

[Hanuka]

sheesh, don't do this to me :( I'm in beautiful Roma at this time on a school trip :nohope: i'd let everything down for the workshop, but this thing is booked already and i'm heavily obliged...

Yeah... i know... i just wish i was important enough.. first week of september sounded so much better ;)

[Ilja]

LAST WEEK OF AUGUST
YEEEEHAAAAAA
:yayca: :yayca: :yayca: :canadapatriot: :canadapatriot: :drool:

[Nike]

yay! If it's in August I might have realistic chances to participate,too :teeth:

[dns2k]

prague is where i want to go next... :) san fran again is a cop out for ya manley since you live there ;) lol jk... i cant wait to get back it was great walking the city. is mucha going to be still be showing in september? either way i cant wait and you can consider me there.

-dns

[|NTeRN]

im down if i have the money.. looks like i wont get my way about quitting target cause its money and i dont wanna be jobless and not have the cash to go. i think i have about 700 now ( i had like 30 at the end of san fran)

looks like you all gonna see me in prague wither you like it or not :dur:

(hopefully with some decent stuff to show)

[Jason Manley]

the mucha show will still be up I believe...it better be...cuz the workshop is my first priority and seeing the slav epic is a life long dream. yum!

if you dont know those paintings...perhaps someone can post some of them in here for u to see why they are so worth seeing.


j

[dns2k]

yea the slav epic will be exactly half of what i will be coming to see... mucha is amazing and at the scale he did those i wont miss them for the world. plus to be looking at em with all you guys and actually have someone to have a decent conversation with about them will be priceless. the pictures of the pieces in his books does not do them justice but i think i might have an image or two somewhere of em.

-dns

[Red_Rook]

awesome last week of august it will be then :confident

lets see if i can scrape some moneys together :D

[Ilja]

how much do we have to pay for going to that workshop?

[dCepT]

I'm so damn DOWN!! *sits down to wait for info from mr. Manley*

d-C

[CenTuriOn..!!~]

The workshop in San Fran was $600 per ticket Ilja.

[|NTeRN]

it was $530 , $600 if you paid late and the price was higher in san francisco because its a really expensive city.

Austin was only $400 for the tutition. so figure between 400-600 for the $ goal to save for and you should be fine

(dont forget to save for airlane and hotel too)

[Hanuka]

shouldnt prague be less expensive? :nohope: i mean, housing, ateliers and stuff should be a lot cheaper than in the us.
whatever, if its end of august i wont be in anyways :/

[Carnifex]

last week of august sounds soo sweet.
and prague? even sweeter.
i'm so down for this.

[Lone Wolf]

I definetly think Canada would be a nice place. Toronto would be awesome!

Come on Manley, you'd love it here.

[Red_Rook]

hah, sweet looks like im definetly in for prague :) :yayca: 8)

[cartoonfox]

hmm, well if its on the last week of august, then i might be able to go... if i can get the money together! im still in debt from san fran ^-^

the way things looks now, i dont think i'll be able to ge the cash, but who knows. plus i might be able to use some of my student loan ^-^ seeing as im going to uni in september

heres hoping ^-^ would be cool to meet up with you guys again





peace all :7up:

[Erik]

Dang still cant forgive myself for missing San Fransisco...

I will DEFINITELY come to prague -- even if that means sneaking out on crunch time |D !!!

And : to Evil and all the other Schoolgoing kids ;)

Dudes, school is about learning. Surely it would be weird if they frowned upon you guys taking a huge learning experience???

In any case it would make their life easier since you'd already know everything they want to teach you ;D

So just show up! What's four days of school anyway??

thats so true, really. :yayca:

[OLSEN]

I can't wait for Prague.. I've even applied to numerous "ordinary jobs" so i can be sure to afford it. Freelancing isn't exactly making me rich enough to travel anywhere.. :nohope:

[oDD]

Can anyone tell me whats the (approximate) cost for the prague workshop? 600$ ?

If it will be in prague and i can afford it You can count Me in!

now i can see on page two it says from 400 to 600

[Sinix]

I hope I can go, never left this country before.

Also, that price is just a guess, I don't think there's any real idea yet.

[Red_Rook]

the price is a very realistic guess, based on experiences of a whole bunch of previous workshops, its pretty accurate i think. :teeth: :yayca:

[Art_Addict]

I'm really looking forward going to Prague if all goes well..
The date, i see would be shifted from early september to the end of august.
For me , personally september would've fitted the best.
Maybe we could organize a poll to see who wants to go in august and who likes september the best?

Something usefull maybe for Jason and other organizers...
Just a thought :)

if it would be in the middle of school it wouldn't have mathered mutch, but its the first shool week m8, (muchos importantos - hows me spanish :P) and my internship starts at 5 sept, so its totally out of my school's hands, its all about what the company thinks where my get my internship starts. Anyway i'm on a webdesign/design multimedia school (dunno why I even chose about going there, totally not what I want, but I definatly learned some usefull stuff there)

Anyway so I dunno, it looks like its going to be the last week of august, that would be great. Really if it stays last week of august, then I'l say, cya there dudes, Erik, jij gaat ook neem ik aan :) Denk dat Guerrilla Games dat zeker goed vind hehe, nieuwe manieren leren waar je veel aan hebt in je vak :D http://www.conceptart.org/forums/images/ca_icons/thumbsup.gif

Let Op Drempels!!!

[Zaphod]

Another workshop in Europe! Woohoo! <3 I can use some of all those frequent flyer points from my trips to Japan! Count me in! I was not in Europe last time and regretted it so much! What will the fee be, aboutish?

Are there anyone living in Prauge near the september workshop, who want to host two Swedes? Naturally we'll pay some! Send me a message.

[Leo Moraes]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know if this new workshop at Prague will really happen
or it is just speculation so far?

I am really sorry that I missed the last one at Austin and will be very nice to
have some sure at least about the month of the next WS, so I can manage myself to make some money until there.

I don´t wanna miss this next one!
:}

Thanks

[ExeCute]

just to keep checks up- anyone that goes to academy of art in SF, Fall starts for you on Thursday, September 1st.

[Steph Laberis]

Well, I've been planning a trip to Europe this fall anyway - and since we found a loophole in my income tax return this year, Prague might be a possibility for me!

Anyone have any tips for getting low airfaire from Boston to Prague and/or London???

[sone_one]

if theres gonna be a workshop in prague ill definetly be there! i hope some ca-celebreties are coming too (id love to see jp, ron lemen, jsweet, mike hussar, dan milligan and many more painting and creating!)

[Red_Rook]

hey umm dudes, if theres gunna be one, can we get some more concrete dates, and info and stuff, cause the prices are going up steadily, and its becommin more n more exspensive. So uh, please :)

[Jason Manley]

planning has begun. we will update new info as soon as it is finalized.

j

[Red_Rook]

awesome :D thanks j, thats all i wanted to know, that somthin is happnin :)

[Odds]

cool! have fun in Europe, guys.. i wish i could've gone to SF back in jan., but my i was only 15. now that i have my license and stuff i'm really hoping the next one is at SF again. :yayca:

[|NTeRN]

i wont be able to make it :( .. for now its just not worth going into debt when living on my own. it'd be way to hard on me tho i would love to go. sorry :(

[Steph Laberis]

Intern, I totally hear that - worst case, we'll see you in the North America workshop next year, right? ;)

[0kelvin]

Aw, too bad Intern.

I took my taxes to H&R Block and they got me a nice big refund so barring any unforseen catastrophes I'm pretty much guaranteed to be there. Rock on H&R Block!



0kelvin

[Sam256]

Prague, that's pretty much round the block from Germany! As an halfway slovak-guy, I'm also familiar with the language. 400-600 bucks for the workshop? Is that the entry-price?

I've seen that some sweds are coming, where are you living? Cause I'm gonna spend my holidays in sverige this summer until august.

Hope 2 be there! (need more money, need more skills!!!)

[Pontemonti]

I've seen that some sweds are coming, where are you living? Cause I'm gonna spend my holidays in sverige this summer until august.
I'm in Gothenburg, but I'll probably not be here this summer (which sucks in at least one way: this is the time of the year when Sweden is beautiful, wonderful, etc.).

[hito]

Take lots of pics!

[P E N Ricklund]

I'm going, one more from sweden :D

[Slash]

planning has begun. we will update new info as soon as it is finalized.

j

I cant wait! Im already well on my way saving up money.

[Zaphod]

I live in Sweden, Gothenburg too. Me and Yoonjin are planning to go down in September. Maybe we could plan the trip together Pontemonti? We will be here working all summer. I might take a week off to go to Asia in July but other than that we'll be here.

[Philip JP]

Hey, I have been in classes, and I couldn't make it to the San Francisco but I am definitely making it to Prague.

peace...

[sinx]

Hopefully the next one is between college semesters. A lot more ppl would be able to attend if school is out. I loved the one in SF, but wont be able to go if it's during college..!!~ :donk:

That's where I am at. If, if being the key word, it is in Prague, how are the hotel prices?

[OleOlsen]

Yeah Yeah Yeah! Just read this thread and saw that the workshop will be in prague!! So from now on i will safe all my earnings just to buy me ticket to come there. i am so excited right now :teeth:

[JoelNoel]

Dunno if this helps folk - but www.hostelworld.com - I use this for when I goto London.



Hope it helps

[JustinBeckett]

come to vancouver canada :P doo it

[vigostar]

the next north american workshop should def. be in Canada somewhere... I would vote for Montreal cuz its such a fun city but, anywheres in Canada would be awesome... I would 100% be ther or anywhere else in the USA for that matter.. oh, well,,, i guess i just gotta wait till then..

[Steph Laberis]

Dunno if this helps folk - but www.hostelworld.com - I use this for when I goto London.



Hope it helps


:jawdrop: Some of these are REALLY cheap! *is soooo tempted to blow her tax refund and go* I'll keep my eyes peeled for a tuition update... especially since the air faires have dropped about $300 since I last looked...

*fends off temptation... poorly*

[OleOlsen]

Hey i don't know, but where am i able to sign in for the next workshop?!?

[Zaphod]

Is there any admittance fee set? If not, what will it be, aboutish? Need to plan my savings.

Thanks.

[Pontemonti]

Nothing is final yet, so you can't sign up. Check previous posts in this threads for discussion(s) on what the cost may be. :)

[black_lotus]

400 - 600 bucks???????????????????????

hahahahahahahah thats petty rediculous. i´m just a schoolboy and experiences from previous workshops showed me that i can learn more while doing studies from morning till next. the only real reason for me to go to prague is to hang out with my buddies and havin a great time with a bunch of artist but 400 bucks? no way.

and as longs as it isn´t after september 4th i wont be able to go anyways.

Suit yourself. Believe me, this is the biggest educational bargain you can possibly find.

Do you have any idea who the people you'll be learning from are?

I'd easily pay twice that to have this opportunity again (but please don't make me!)

w0rd man! seriously that small workshop in amsterdamn I went to, brilliant, I would have easely payed that 200 euro´s for only one day

Really worth it, these are big guys that are teaching you, thay arent some amateurs who got a quick course themselves and now think they can bring you by the tricks of the trade.

[black_lotus]

yeah, i was on the last european ca workshop in berlin

there are lots of old masters to learn from hehe, i´d rather buy a couple of books than paying that much for a workshop. the only thing it is worth for is to hang around with a lots of artists und to see my old buddies from berlin again ;)

thats at least my opinion hehe

it´s ok if you think that its absolutely worth the money, but thats not how i feel about that hehe. 500 bucks? no way hehe :dead:

I think the experience as a whole is worth it. and the Berlin one wasnt realy an official CA workshop, it was something andrew and marko put together.
The official ones are alot more varied, from digital artist to traditional, sculpting, 3d, you name it. And seeig something created live infront of you really helps to undersstand How and why, and is mutch easier to learn from then a book.

[Helzon]

Just thought I would throw this out there for all you goin trippin in Prague and the surrounding towns..I heard of this place in Kutna Hora, about 25 to 30 miles outside of Prague(correct me if I'm wrong)....called Kostnice Sedlec. Trippy church seeing as it's interior is constructed of thousands upon thousands of human bones.
they have a web page: http://www.kostnice.cz
Cheers!

[P E N Ricklund]

Darn Helzon that looks like one creepy place :[
But it might be a good place to study anatomy :rolleyes:

Yeah, I heard about that place, cool sjit man, might be a good place for a trip from the usual workshop to explain some anatomy stuff.

[Helzon]

Yeah...that's why I threw that out there...
Looks like a hell of a place.
If you or anyone goes there..please share with the rest of us who aren't workshop or Prague bound.
Thanks

[maxetormer]

That place sound-looks very very cool!
I was wondering around wich date we will know more details about the WSHP,
I really want to make all the paperwork & plans needed ahead time, so that I
can attend this time with no problems, thats all :D

[NoSeRider]

The next one should be in San Diego.

You guys always go to places that are too hot or too cold......plus San Diego is closer to me.

Texas = Too Hot
San Francisco = Too Windy and Cold
San Diego = Just Right

Goldy Locks Syndrome concluded.

[bbwolf]

[Layil]

I plan to go, but seeing as im moving to san fran at the end of the year (closer to massive black!), that's more of a priorirty. We'll see how rich i get over the summer.....
