MSCA News- Cold Off The Prez!

Greetings, to all our favorite ink slinging, pencil pushing, digital doodling, wordsmithing, and enthusiast/collector folks!

Usually, I’ve already submitted a mid-month email; but, the month has been busy (and/or I’ve been lazy).  But, there are a few things still worth sharing, so let me get this to you by reminding you…

As I write this, we’re expecting snow tonight so I have to run and get a loaf of bread, a container of milk, and a stick of butter.  (10 points if you get that reference!

Be sure to check out www.midsouthcartoonists.org and www.drawingfunny.com for more information.

Thanks for being a part of all this,
Kevin Williams,

Great Dinner Gathering At Garibaldi’s And An Upcoming SatArtDay At Centerpoint

Hey, gang- we had another great turnout for this month’s MSCA dinner gathering at Garibaldi’s Pizza.

We met on February 4th and had lots of comics conversation, plus lots of drawing going on, too.

Many members brought sketchbooks, tablets, or laptops to work on.

Courtney and Lee each brought along some fun books for us to check out. The following day I was able to order a couple online for myself.

And we made a get well/happy birthday card for longtime MSCA member Jim Palmer who couldn’t make it due to being in the hospital..! Thanks to Michael for the card suggestion and Kevin for videoing a quick group message to send to Jim.

\

Our next dinner will be on Tuesday, March 4th from 6-8pm at Garibaldi’s. We always meet on the first Tuesday of each month at the U of M location off Walker Avenue and Highland.

This coming Saturday we’ll have our next MSCA SatArtDay at Centerpoint Toys & Games out off of Navy Road in Millington, Tn. We’ll be there from 11am-3pm.

You can bring your own art projects to work on or use some of our art supplies that we’ll have on hand.

And be sure to check out the Rogue’s Gallery and some of the local creator comics and MSCA zines for sale at Centerpoint.

New “Drawing Funny” Podcast Episode: Episode 74 – “Diamond’s In The Rough”

Show notes: Of course on the day I posted my last episode the news broke about Diamond Comic Distributors, Inc. filing a Chapter 11 petition for bankruptcy, and TikTok went dark just before I could finish this episode.

Earlier this week I sat down with my business major and comics fangirl wife Nicki to talk about how this all could affect the comics industry in both negative and positive ways. Continue reading →
