Traces



Now available for download — Traces, the jam comic produced at the July meeting.

This jam was produced on a pad of tracing paper, with each artist picking up on the shapes and themes from the panel underneath. Through the magic of Technology, that effect is reproduced in the PDF.

After the Warehouse 508 Block Party, we're going to head over to the New York Pizza Department on the northwest corner of 2nd and Central for our monthly meeting. We'll gather in the new "pizza lounge" in the back, where there is waiter service, so don't order at the counter.

Start time will be around 5:15, to allow us time to pack up from the Block Party and get over to NYPD (for those coming from the Block Party, plan on leaving your car and walking over).

New members are always welcome. Send an email with any questions.
