Portland Drink N' Draw

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

2008-01-31T23:24:00.000-08:00

Once again, late notice!

We're having the first Drink 'n Draw of the year this Saturday, February 2nd at Madison's, at 1109 SE Madison St. at 8:00. We've called ahead this time and we have a table reserved upstairs.

As usual, this event is open to all (assuming you're old enough to go to a bar!) We will provide 8.5x11 copy paper, you'll have to bring any other art supplies you'd like to have. It can be fun to have a themed page to hand around to everyone so you'll end up with a fun jam poster at the end of the night, so think about that.

We're shifting to the first Saturday of the month for this year, so we're also announcing the second Drink 'n Draw for March 1st. Mark your calendars!

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday! (NEW LOCATION!)

2007-11-15T23:34:00.000-08:00

Because of Thanksgiving we're shifting earlier in the month! Will we stay here? Who knows?

Anyway, let's see what "2-Hog" Ryan Hill has to say about this month's d-n-d...

THIS SAT NIGHT IS DRINK AND DRAW!!!!

We have a new location we're trying out:

Madison's Grill

1109 SE Madison St

Portland, OR 97214
(click for a google map)

Starting at 8:00!!!

And for this session I was hoping to experiment with something some of us old time Sequental SCAD students used to do in college... a JAM POSTER SESSION!!! This will be optional of course, but if you wish to partake, just bring a standard Bristol sheet with something drawn in the center (a character, or a scene... preferably something simple.) Then everyone passes the board around and draws their version/interpretation of whatever you've drawn. At the end of the night you get to take home a piece with lots of cool peoples art on it. If not though than feel free to come and sketch or just hang out and drink and talk about whatever. Please spread the word to anyone you feel like as this is a totally open thing (they don't even have to draw... we get some of those non art folks all the time... it's fun to stare at them and make them feel weird.)

There you have it, straight from the 2-Hog's mouth. Sorry for the late notice, as usual.

Sorry for the late notice!

Since we never got our shinola together in October, we're scheduling an emergency Drink 'n Draw this Saturday the 3rd at 8:00. The usual location at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway in beautiful Portland Oregon. Bring pens and pencils and whatever you like, we'll provide 8.5x11 paper.

Tell your friends!

Drink n' Draw this Saturday!

2007-09-18T00:15:00.000-07:00

We’re planning another Drink n’ Draw this Saturday the 22nd at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway. It’s going to be at eight this month instead of seven, so be aware of that change!

I’m also not going to be there, but Ragin’ Ryan Hill is throwing the thing together this month. Everyone’ll probably be in the back dining room, so come on in. If you haven’t been before, everyone’s real friendly.
8.5×11 paper will be provided, but bring anything else you’re going to want.

Drink 'n Draw next Saturday the 21st!

We're planning another Drink 'n Draw at the Rose and Thistle on 2314 NE Broadway for next Saturday the 21st at 7:00 PM. There's a link to a google map a few posts down if you want to look for it.

We'll provide 8.5x11 copy paper, anything else you need you'll have to bring yourself.

We've been getting a good turnout with a mix of pro artists and hobbyists! Come on down this month and check it out! Maybe someday I'll get around to posting the signin sheets we do every month.

Drink 'n Draw this Saturday!

Sorry for the late notice for this and the non-happening last month. I've had some health problems that've prevented me from putting this thing together.

However! We're planning another Drink 'n Draw at the Rose and Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway this Saturday the 23rd at 7:00. We'll provide 8.5x11 copy paper, anything else you need you'll have to bring yourself.

Come on into the back of the bar, we'll have a table back there.

Portland Drink 'n Draw tonight!

Hi everybody, sorry for the short notice. I've been sick and busy all month, so I haven't planned this very well at all. We're planning a Drink n' Draw tonight (Saturday the 31st) at 7:00 at the Rose and Thistle. Not expecting too much of a turnout because of the short notice, but I'll be there for a little while at least. My cold isn't going to let me stay out too late...

Scheduling!

2007-02-13T16:30:00.000-08:00

Whoops! I'm super late setting this schedule! Sorry!

So we'll be holding this month's Drink 'n Draw in the same place, at the Rose & Thistle at 2314 NE Broadway, at 7:00 on Saturday, February 17th.

I have once again not called ahead, so hopefully we'll be able to fit everyone again without trouble.

Bring your own supplies, but we will be providing 8.5x11 copy paper.

A good time is guaranteed* for all!

*good time not guaranteed

next Drink 'n Draw meeting

2007-02-03T00:42:00.000-08:00

So I figure we ought to decide when the next Drink 'n Draw meeting will take place. I haven't talked to "2-Hog" Ryan Hill about it yet, but I'm thinking of holding it at the same place as last time on Saturday, February 17th. Would that be okay? I'll talk to "2-Hog" tomorrow and we'll make final arrangements in the next couple days.

First Portland Drink 'n Draw a success!

2007-01-21T11:36:00.000-08:00

We held the first Portland Drink 'n Draw at the Rose and Thistle on January 20, 2007. We had about fifteen or sixteen people show, and a good time was had by all!

Here's a sort of sign-in sheet and a jam comic we produced. I hope other folks who were there will post some thoughts!

I've also started a livejournal community for the Drink 'n Draw. Join up if you'd like!

First meeting 01-20-07!

2007-01-06T16:39:00.000-08:00

Hi all,

"2-Hog" Ryan Hill and I have figured out a good location and a time for our first Portland Drink 'n Draw!

We're going to hold it at the Rose and Thistle, at 2314 NE Broadway, at 7:00PM on Saturday, January 20th. There's a big dining room area in the back we should be able to use. They tell us they don't take reservations, but there shouldn't be a problem bringing in a group of 15-20. I'm not expecting too many more people than that.

Bring your pens and pencils and sketchbooks! We will provide 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper, but you'll have to bring anything else you want. We can swap sketchbooks and do some jam comics or something. It'll be fun!

Just settin' up

Nothin' to report just yet. News soon I hope!
