Last night, we had our first Drink & Draw night.  Some of us gathered at the local water hole, The ‘Buck, and amidst laughs and weird ass conversation we developed the two topics we had for the night.

Now, before “gettin’ it own” with the topics and what we did, let me elaborate a bit about the dynamics of the night.  The idea behind this is to flex your creative muscle, oftentimes bound by this or that.  It is not a competition at all, more along the lines of a good camaraderie and networking opportunity as well. So, if the topic for the night is, say “The Smurfs”, the idea would be to grab that -deconstruct it- and then work with that. So instead of doodling Papa Smurf or Smurfette or something like that i would do a Short, pot bellied midget… all painted in blue, while wearing white pants.  The main idea is to think outside the box, and push the boundaries of some concepts that are around us on a day to day basis.
