Mini-Comics Day in New Mexico

7000 BC, Mini-Comics Day

IMG_2847

Did we remember to get copies of the books made? Or even a list of participants? Did any more than three 7000 BC members finish their comics? Could it have gotten any nerdier in the meeting room at the Lomas Tramway Library? Were we organized enough to have some sort of award? Well, no.

But did we have an awesome time with a whole bunch of participants of all ages? Did we meet new comics creators? Did Larry’s Saddle Stapler save the day? Did Cheryl help everyone navigate the double-sided setting on the copier? Are we grateful to group members for volunteering their time, supplies, and expertise? Will we do this again? Heck, yeah!

Can you see more photos right here at the 7000 BC Flickr stream? Yep.

Mini-Comics Day / April 7000 BC Meeting | Saturday, April 9 | 1:00–5:30 | Lomas Tramway Library | 908 Eastridge NE | Albuquerque, NM

Grab your pencils and pens. Make a comic. In one afternoon.

7000 BC will present New Mexico’s only Mini-Comics Day event on Saturday, April 9 from 1:00–5:30 at the Lomas Tramway Library in Albuquerque.

No rules, no formats, no required subject matter — only fellow creators and resources to help and inspire you. Show off New Mexico’s creativity and create a comic that you can print and distribute.

Some supplies will be available and there are photocopiers at the library. You can prepare yourself by reading about Mini-Comics Day at the official site and checking out the resources. If you plan on participating, please send an email.

This will also serve as 7000 BC’s monthly meeting.
