I want to apologize for the lack of activity from our branch. We are still here and are planning our regular monthly events which you will see posted here soon. We have Paco Fish lined up for October and lots of other models waiting in the wings. Our branch will be doing a regular monthly event that will include art fusions in either paints or pastels. Stay tuned for the new calendar!

Our "May the Fourth Be With You" event was great geeky fun! The attendance was light but everyone was eager to get to drawing. We started off the night with some pointers on drawing the human form. I taught my eager students how to capture the models pose in a quick sketch that can be refined later. Most of the attendees came to this event to learn how to draw. They walked away with new skills and a new love of art. Mission accomplished. There was lots of laughter and good times were had by all.
Our main model was Vivian MirAnn of the Gilded Cage Burlesk and Varieté troupe. She posed wonderfully and the students were glued to their sketch books. I gave the students a few challenges to win some cool prizes. The first challenge was to draw our model as a droid. The winner got a vintage Star Wars
Our next event is in just a few short days. I have gathered a pile of fun prizes and have some fun art challenge ideas. I hope to see you all there for what will be a geeky fun time.
Our May 3rd event, Crash Course, has been moved to May 4th and is now called May The 4th Be With You. Thank you, that is all....
