Everyone is invited to participate (but only 19+; the Cameron House is a bar). So bring some drawing utensils (we provide paper), and some friends, and come join us. www.torontocomicjam.com Facebook group Cameron House 408 Queen St. West 1 block west of Spadina.

This months theme is "Post apocalyptic/Zombies!"....Both have been so far beyond overdone in all media, that I thought it could yield some funny results from our jaded group of art fiends.The Charlottetown Comic Jam provides a venue for local comic artists to meet and socialize, creating a unique experience and furthering the sense of community. Participants each take a turn drawing a panel before handing the page off to another artist. The result is a collaborative story, built by several artists. All comics are then placed on the FaceBook page for all to see. The Charlottetown Comic Jam is held at Baba's Lounge on the last Wednesday of each month starting at 8pm. ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!

A one day event, the Show is on Saturday Feb 9th. 7-10pm."What you should expect to see is a plethora of really cool, imaginative and interesting paintings, drawings and other creative systems applied to old record album covers. The subjects are diverse, but what ties every piece together is the format. Many of the pieces will be up for sale - so if you're in the market for some original art - this will be your chance. Many of the artists will be there for the evening to talk to." FREE PRIZES AND GAMES: The Labyrinth will be handing out over 50 prizes for folks participating in what we call Character Design Face Off's. Here's how it works. We will have two easels set up where two people (one of which can be YOU!) will face off against each other for fun and prizes. They will have to draw a character design on the spot, based on a subject we pick. For example ' Moose in a beaver suit' or 'Troll in an evening gown on fire' and other stupid ideas. The goal is to have fun and laughs - all a while earning prizes for the winners. Winners will be decided by those attending via the sophisticated system we call Applause. You don't have to be an artist to join in the games -so come one, come all and good luck! The silliness will be repeated every 3 minutes - so as many of you can take a turn as possible.

TORONTO Tuesday, January 29, 2008 COMIX JAM The Cameron House, 408 Queen Street West LAUNCH 8:00 p.m. info: 416-703-0811 http://www.cumuluspress.com/extraction Cumulus Press recently released a new title EXTRACTION! Comix Reportage. This 'graphic novel' started with four journalistic stories about the mining industry. These stories were scripted then handed over to four comix artists (including 2007 Doug Wright Award winner, Joe Ollmann) to create a multi-styled comic book about mining that, according to Joe Sacco, "is the perfect idea for a graphic treatment." Cumulus Press will launch this book of comix journalism within the January edition of the Toronto Comix Jam, whose jammers will create collective strips of journalism based on articles provided for the evening. Here the challenge will persist between the 'give' of verifiable facts and the 'take' of graphic interpretation, between the 'push' of fact-based details and the 'pull' of visual narrative. The craft of comix journalism does not stem from the combination of text and image, content and structure. It is the added meaning derived from the interaction between the symbolic and the realistic, the literal and the figurative that gives it strength. The extraction of natural resources today is a dirty business. Since 2000, most energy and mineral prices are skyrocketing. Junior mining prospectors and unscrupulous transnational corporations rush into new territories to suck what's hot out of the earth's lucrative veins. In today's gas, oil and mining industries, the pace of exploration, extraction, transformation and delivery of the world's resources is mind boggling. The German magazine Der Spiegel speaks of a Third World War for the world's resources. It is more like a blitzkrieg. EXTRACTION! looks into the exploration, exploitation and extraction gold, bauxite, uranium and oil, from a common-good social justice perspective, in Guatemala, India, Quebec and Alberta, respectively.

You drink, you draw, the more you drink, the sillier your drawings get, and the more fun you have. There are gonna be people who can draw and people who can't draw. People who can drink and people who can't drink. And if you get bored with drawing (which you shouldn't because drunk drawing is FUN~) then you can just go look at other people's funny doodles -we usually maskin-tape them to the wall. Seriously, when was the last time you sat and drew, eh? FR Bon ben c'est simple, tu bois et tu dessines. Plus tu bois, plus tu dessines des niaiseries et plus c'est drôle. Il va y avoir des gens qui savent dessiner et des gens qui ne savent pas dessiner. Des gens qui savent boire et des gens qui ne savent pas boire. Et si vous vous tannez de dessiner vous pouvez vous promener et regarder les barbos des gens qui dessinent encore... on a l'habitude de les maskin-taper au mur.

Why not try to schedule one of them during a comic book convention and invite the public to watch how comics are made on the spot? One of the best cross promotion effort I have witnessed was in 2005 at a Montreal fashion and art show with a comic book theme. The problem organizers had was convincing local comic book artists to participate with the organization. They were reluctant to see paintings and sculptures inspired by comic book themes. It strikes me that there are already several thriving "local comic book industries" in this country and in the U.S. that have developed both organically and through various forms of central planning since 1980, but St-Louis' article, besides including some impressive business-school-style graphics, has some interesting suggestions.
