April Open Swim “It Came from The Egg”

the egg

It’s a beautiful Easter morning at the kid’s egg hunt, but something strange brews under the dewy grass and your neighbors manicured rhododendrons. An egg nobody remembers hiding hatches: it’s not a chicken.

What is it? Come join The Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians for an evening at King’s Books, and put your talents of prose, drawing, or even sculpture to the test to show us your Easter Beast!

Time/Date: Wednesday, April 27th 7:30 – 9:00 PM

Location: King’s Books – 218 St Helens Ave, Tacoma, Washington 98402

There will be a prize drawing during the Open Swim, our lucky winner takes home a DIY Funko POP! figurine.

CLAW August Updates

RoboticOverloardsT2
The Cartoonist’s League of Absurd Washingtonians (or C.L.A.W. to the less pedantic), welcomes a new Talon!  Steve Garvin has joined the ranks of the ignoble, being accepted by the Four-Eye Council and the membership in general as member #25 during July’s Open Swim gathering!  Your sympathies on his behalf are appreciated.
The CLAW’s wildly popular Freelance Fandango meetings continue to draw a small but enthusiastic crowd of workaholics!  Every Monday at 1pm, head over to Corina’s Bakery (602 Fawcett, next to The Grand Theater) for lively discussion or casually intensive drawing–whatever the mood incites!
In July, esteemed Talon of the CLAW, Stan! released “Dungeoneering 101”, a coloring & activity book for sale in PDF (http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/152418/Dungeoneering-101-Activity-Book).  If you’ve got young’uns who like to weild their mighty crayons or even if you are an adult that needs a good chuckle, then please check out Brother Stan’s latest and greatest!
The August Open Swim meeting, held as usual at King’s Books on St. Helens in lovely downtown Tacoma will be called “Twists on Twilight”!  How could you possibly improve on the fantastical journey that is the Twilight franchise? Why, by combining it with other beloved movies, TV shows or cartoon characters, of course.  Join us on August 26th at 7:30pm for the ensuing hilarity!

Wednesday 22nd at 7:30 PM at Kings Books at a round table surrounded by FEZ wearing cartoonists of the elite and secret Cartoonists League of Absurd Washingtonians (the C.L.A.W.) YOU can sit and DRAW WITH THE CLAW!  NO GAMES! NO TRICKS! Just fingers-to-paper full concentration drawing of cartoons… and when we’re done, we will do a college class style round table critique/show&tell.  Hang out and Draw. That’s it. Maybe scratch the Kings Books cat on the head too. Bring a sketch book or something you’re working on too if you want us to give you feedback on that as well.  We are professionals! Our opinion is worth something… maybe.  Anyway it’s fun. We are absurd cartoonists, it’s in our name.
