Drinking and Drawing is an animated jam where animators and animation fans get together to draw, mingle, and make a short cartoon.
Those who join in the drawing fun participate in the creation of a film in just one night! Here’s how it happens: Groups of animators are called up to the drawing area, 10 at a time. Each animator receives 8 blank note cards, as well as the last card from the animator that drew before them. They have exactly 10 minutes (that’s 75 seconds a card) to continue the animation on each card. At the end of that 10 minutes, all of the animators are kicked out of their seats (really, no lollygaging) and a new batch is called to the table.
It ends up being a high-paced musical chairs way of doing an animation (think Exquisite Corpse, or Anijam), and it’s loads of fun! Plus, by the end of the night, we have a short film (about 1 - 2 minutes long), created by dozens of animators!
DRINKING AND DRAWING
Sept 21st 7PM
Admission: FREE!
Dillon’s Irish Pub & Grill

After the festivities, we take these cards back to the studio, scan them, and bridge them together. You’re then able to check the film out a few days later at DrinkingAndDrawing.org and show it off to your friends.
Remember - While we welcome absolutely EVERYBODY to draw, you don’t have to! This is designed to be a minglin’, fun-havin’, networkin’ kind of event, and we hope to see you there!
