Alright, Joplin area artists…  by popular demand we are starting this back up again. This time we will be meeting the FIRST Wednesday of every month at the excellent Hurley’s Heroes comic store in downtown Joplin (824 S Main St) from 7-9pm.  This Wednesday is the first one.

For those of you who might not be familiar with Sketch Night, it’s just a chance for local comic artists/illustrators to get together and do some sketching.  We share what we’ve been working on and usually complete some sort of artistic challenge.  But mainly we just feed off of each other’s creative energy.  You can see some of our past exploits here.

Invite other artists you think might be interested… let’s see how many of us we can get there!

Joplin Sketch Night is changing! Up ’til now, since we were just meeting at my house, we’ve had to keep it to a small group of people that we know. But now for the first time, it will be open to anyone who wants to show up and draw. We will be meeting at Hurley’s Heroes Comics & Games (10th and Maiden Lane) from 7-9pm on the second Wednesday of the month. (Sometimes it might have to be the first Wednesday, but we’ll post on the Sketch Night page if that’s the case.)
So if you’re in the mood to hang out with other comic artists and maybe tackle a sketch challenge or two… see you there! Also, make sure you check out the Joplin Sketch Night Facebook page for updates, etc.

Just a reminder that you might want to check out Joplin Sketch Night site, as we are continue to post new images there from our monthly meetings.  The image above is one of the new types of creature jams that we recently did.  The one below is from the night we redesigned steampunk versions of established characters.  This was my take on a steampunk Hobgoblin.
