Drink And Draw #1

Last Thursday's official Drink And Draw is in the books and we couldn't be more pleased with the turnout.  Almost 30 of Cleveland's most talented artists showed up and everyone had a great time.  Portfolios were shared, art was discussed, laughs were plentiful, and everyone busily filled their sketchbooks.  Next month's event can't get here quick enough.

Issue 1: Erin's Doodles!

Everything is painted with watercolor and Faber-Castell Pitt markers. There are colored pencils and paint markers in there a bit too.

Join us TONIGHT!

The Rust Belt Monster Collective is very proud to bring the Drink and Draw Social Club to Cleveland.  In an effort to both strengthen Cleveland's art presence and foster communication between local artists, we have decided to hold a monthly gathering for all of us.  Cleveland area artists are welcome to meet up with us tonight at the Tremont Taphouse for a night of beer and sketching.  No cover charge, no judgments.  Just step up to the bar, buy yourself a drink, and start drawing.  And please feel free to introduce yourself.  The entire Collective will be there and are looking forward to mingling and seeing what everyone is working on.  

Also, look for further meetings as we intend to do this every month.  How do you know when they'll be?  Well, you can follow the Cleveland Drink and Draw Social Club on Facebook, Twitter, or at the official Blog.

Special thanks to the original Drink and Draw Social Club for allowing us to create the Cleveland Chapter.  What a great idea and opportunity for artists.

Randolph Crider: Issue 0

Three days before our official launch, and I finally finished the sketchbook madness I started at Issue#0 last month.  In the past year, these two page spreads are my favorite thing to draw, and it was a real blast to plot this sucker out in a room full of Cleveland's finest. 

There's a few more of these on my blog, and I'm always posting with the Rust Belt Monster Collective too.

Hopefully I'll see you dudes on Thursday. Let's drink beers, draw nonsense, and be friends.
