Scwiggle Game @ J. Gilligan's, Arlington, TX - Nov. 5, '05

artists= Steve Troop, Kathryn White
pencil on paper

There was an art jam sponsered by Fanboy Radio while i was at the con. very fun. Alice and I visited with Steve at a table. Alice has some great photos which she will be posting soon. i'll post a link when she does. (edit 11-25-05, here's a couple of her photos.)
in the meantime, Steve introduced me to the "Scwiggle Game." some of you may know how this goes, but for those that don't...
basically you take turns. draw a little scribbly line and then pass it to the next person. they, in turn, make the scribble into an image.
it was loads of fun. i'd like to thank Steve for introducing me to it.

( This way to the rest of the game! )

After this, Dave Crosland & Jim Mahfood got up to draw. They had taped huge sheets of paper and matteboard up on the wall. They created art with whatever they could: markers, whiteout, paint, spraypaint, using fingers and hands if they didn't have brushes. Later Andy Lee and David Mack showed up! it was awesome. what one artist would start, another would finish. the interplay between Mahfood's and Crosland's art was very cool. my attention was caught between watching the "stage" and doodling with Steve. Alice by now had gotten up to get photos and be a general fangirl. 6^) She even got tagged by Mahfood!
a fun time was had by all.

there are more sketches from that night, but not of the "scwiggle game" type. more like a "copycat-the-pose" type. i'll post those later. 8^D
