I have a ritual with my friend Joe Linton<\/a>. On the third Tuesday of (almost) every month we ride our bikes to Meltdown comics and draw together at the Melt-thology comix jam.\u00a0A big part of the appeal for me is to hang out with Joe and talk about comics and life, but it is also a good opportunity to draw in a different environment. Occasionally Joe will bring his daughter Maeve (aka Super Maeve<\/a>) and it’s great to watch them collaborate on a comic.<\/p>\n

It’s a very friendly set up and at the end the artwork is collected with $3 for printing costs and you get a zine the following month with a collection of everyone’s contributions. It goes from 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm which sounds like a lot of time to complete one page but I’ve been surprised more than once, this stuff takes time.<\/p>\n

If you are in the L.A area I would encourage you to go. The venue is the legendary Meltdown Comics<\/a>\u00a0and it is a fun way to meet other artists and share some of your work. Find more info on the Melt-thology facebook page<\/a> or Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My melt-thology zine collection so far.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I feel like my submissions have been a mixed bag. Sometimes I try to do a mini-comic and sometimes I go for a simple illustration. I like the two hour restriction because it forces me to finish something quick, so I concentrate more on the overall effect rather than getting caught in the details. Here is a collection of all the ones I’ve submitted so far in order of appearance, also notice I got to do the cover for #19.<\/p>\n
