Open Swim – July 24th, 2013

Hey, this is Brandon! Okay, not sure I’m posting this in the right spot, but here goes!

Picture this scenario: The Looney Tunes are sick and tired of the way Warner Bros. has been handling them the past couple decades. They decide to quit and look for work elsewhere. Unfortunately, all they can do is get work in other cartoon shows. The idea is to take a Looney Tunes character and integrate that character into another cartoon series, be it “Rugrats”, or “Ren & Stimpy”, or “Beetlejuice”.

An example: Daffy Duck in “Rocky & Bullwinkle”:
Shouldn't that be Bugs? Oh, well.
See my fellow CLAW buds at King’s Bookstore July 24th at 7:30pm!

Open Swim for June: “Hollywood Strikes Back – Episode 47: The Fandom Menagerie”

The big wigs in tinsel town are all out of ideas… I mean REALLY out of ideas.
So they’ve hired you to illustrate your take an existing property which they plan to remake (ugh! ANOTHER remake?!) but change the main characters to a series of random objects or creatures to give the series “more flair and appeal to the current generation.”
You will pick a movie out of a hat (the same way Hollywood does it!) and then a random series of objects or creatures from another hat. You will then be asked to do a mock-up of the original movie poster (or some version of it) using the newly picked objects or creatures.
Example: They’re remaking Star Wars… but all of the main characters are replaced by produce… or stuffed bears… or marionettes. Or, they want to remake “The Road Warrior” but replace all of the characters with elements of disc golf (you know those kids and their disc golf!).
It’s just that simple! Help Hollywood further destroy the classics! And have a lot of fun doing it!
Wednesday June 26th – 7:30 @ King’s Books – Tacoma, WA
