This month in Minneapolis in addition to the jam (albeit a shorter than usual one) you have a chance to help out our dear friends at ALTERED ESTHETICS.  They will be having a fundraiser shortly which will involve a ROCK BAND tournament, and AE Poo-bah JAMIE SCHUMACHER has asked we cartoonists help set the mood for the evening by doing lots of “ROCK”-themed art this month.  Jamie will provide LARGE PAPER(18″x24″) and DRAWING SUPPLIES, so what you need to bring is either a picture (or mobile picture-getting device) of your favorite BAND, ROCK STAR, ALBUM COVER, or GEOLOGIC FORMATION that you can turn around and make into some large-scale art.  Sounds like fun!  LET’S ROCK, CONSPIRACY!!!

The Minneapolis Cartoonist Conspiracy meets at 6:30 until 10:00 the first Thursday of every month at Diamond’s Coffee Shoppe in Northeast.

Generally, we draw collaborative “jam” comics, socialize and drink caffeinated beverages. Afterwords, we often have uncaffeinated beverages somewhere else.

The meetings are open to anyone who wants to draw with us, and the results are posted here sooner or later (and sometimes even printed).
