WHAT WE DO

Exchange Ideas And Mingle

Meetup is the best place to get to know one another! Come hang out.

Illustration prompts

Prompts will be announced month before the meeting. Then we will critique each other’s illustration during the meeting. The goal is to develop your portfolio.

Book Clubs

We pick the book to review on our facebook group then discuss about it during the meetup.

Portfolio Hot Seats

Illustrator can submit their portfolio to be reviewed by the group. You can ask once a year.

Guest Speakers

We occasionally have guest speakers! In the past we were delighted have Mike Lowery, The T2 Agency, and many more!
