JANUARY2017 — Hark! The CLAW transition of power to the new leaders of 2017 was smooth.  We welcome STEVE GARVIN spillinginkstudio.com (President); Jennevieve Schlemmer http://shortlegstudio.com/ (Vice President); RR Anderson http://tinkertopia.com/ (Under Secretary of Magic); and LS Erhardt http://comics.feedtacoma.com/beantown/ (Secretary of The Future)!  No longer are we the Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians!  We are now the CLAW ARTIST GUILD!  excerpt of our new draft manifesto…

The CLAW ARTIST GUILD strives to unite and support creators and makers from cartooning, illustration, mixed-media, and beyond in Tacoma and the Puget Sound Region.

Claw endorses an open art community that embraces alternative spaces and platforms for our art. Our mission is to build our own opportunities and foster our community through art shows, open art sessions, collaboration, instruction, and outreach. We believe that art should be fun and accessible to anyone that wants to participate.

Core Values:
