Calling all Vancouver Artist's

[fattkid]

What up Vancouverites....

Hey folks, I'm planning on relocating to Vancouver from Seattle at some point in the near future, and was looking for a little advice or info. I do 3D for games, btw.

How's the 3D/CG market doing up there these days? I'm aware of the art/CG schools up there. What sort of opportunities are there for continuing education/part time night art/(concept/character) design classes/workshops etc. Like taking some life drawing classes, sculpture, entertainment design etc. Life drawing sessions? Any advice on living locations? In proximity to the core of studios/schools/ease of use of public transit/biking? How about neighborhoods? I'm kinda partial to the funky, bohemian vibe. I heard commercial street is like that? So yeah, any advice on living and working as a games artist (or maybe film/TV., who knows) would be cool. Thanks for any replies and perhaps I'll be seeing you later.....

I know this isn't exactly the right place, so please don't shoot me, Vancouverites....but is anybody here on Vancouver ISLAND? ie. Victoria? It's tough findin sketch groups on the island.

To Oden, no worries about asking if anyone from Vancouver Island. I think a long time ago we had someone inquire about a Sketch Group on Vancouver Island, but I can't reall the artists's name, sorry.

Certainly. We welcome all levels of 2d art and 3d art. It's more about learning about new skills and networking.

[Kaotica]

I would like to join in on this, if the group allows red heads.

[Raizor]

Vancouverites, for the 21 Sketchcrawl on Jan 10, 2009, we are meeting at Pacific Center, close to Granville Station. Located across from the TD Bank. We will meet in the Atrium/Skydome portion of the mall next to Take 5 Cafe, and close to BOSE store. Call me on my cell at 778-235-4445 if you are not sure.

Any and all skill levels are allowed to join, Kaotica and heraldbau!

I will enclose a pic again of me! The pic I attached is me posing for my Supervisor, hehe. He likes to make faces when I take his picture, so I do the same! John T, calm down! My pic is not going to scare people from the Vancouver Sketchgroup!

We are also on Facebook! and at: http://vancouversketchgroup.blogspot.com/

[heraldbau]

Hope to see you guys some time.

[Raizor]

To everyone else who made it todays Sketchcrawl, thanks! Bad weather kept most of the people away, but that was expected. Anyhoo, nice to meet Jimmy Le fish, and Shawn.
Morena made it back safely from Italy, whoo hoo!



Heraldbau, no problem for the information. We will meet next week at Waves. There is no Dr Sketchy session, that was for the New York Session. We are not that cool to have two meest for Dr.Sketchy!

Blah. I work 11 hour days during the week. I live in New West, too. I'd join you, but it's just too far to go and the sessions last too long for me to be able to go right now.
