24 Hour Comics Day @ Mission: Comics & Art

11 am October 3, 2009 until 11 am October 4, 2009

From co-host Doc Pop:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
24 Hour Comics Day is an event where cartoonists all over the world
attempt to create their own 24 page comics in 24 consecutive hours.

The San Francisco event is being put together by the San Francisco
Cartoonist Conspiracy and hosted by Comic Outpost and Mission Comics.

If you are interested in taking part in this years event, please email
Doctor Popular at at yoyogenius at gmail dot com with your name and
phone number. Space is limited to 20 seats (per shop), so serious
inquiries only, please. Additionally, we are asking for a $5 fee to
reserve a space, this money goes to the shops to help cover costs.

Artists should bring their supplies, but leave your ideas and
storyboards at home. The goal of creating a 24 hour comic is to push
your boundaries, and learn just how much you can create in just one
day.

We are also looking for any sponsors (pizza, art supplies, etc) and
press. If you can help us out, or would like to take part in the
event, please let us know.

Grand Opening PARTY!

Date:
Saturday, September 19, 2009
Time:
7:00 pm
Doors are open and time to celebrate!

In the dawn of the twenty-first century with better reproduction technology and the growing influence of pop-art and lowbrow art, the dividing line between commercial art and fine art has never more blurry. A growing number of artists are playing in this borderland, switching sides with fluidity and ease. The inaugural show presents art influenced by comic book in a variety of different mediums. Some draw from super-hero kitsch, others make new use of the single panel cartoonist form, and others borrow from the rich illustrative tradition.
