Melting Snowball Jam - January 2013

(c)2013 Jason Chen, used with permission.
Who knew Mother Nature was so keyed into comics that she actually sent a quick thaw our way on the evening of our 'Melting Snowball' themed comic jam last month? It was pretty cool I tell ya!

A wonderful number of folks attended the jam and produced some fun comics. It took a little bit to get into the swing of the theme (one object, piece of text or character had to disappear as the comic continued, until there was nothing left), but soon everyone was having fun and being silly with it!

Thanks as always to Don and the great staff at the Shanghai Restaurant who make us feel welcome, feed us great food (tofu ginger with veg!) and even turned the lights up for the hard working artists as we all laboured away n__n

Thanks to those who took the time to come out and draw (or write) and who made the evening a wonderful success: Suzanne Marsden, Clayton Jacobs, Liz Walsh, James Rule, Westin Church, Sean J. MacIsaac, Andrew Stutt, Scott MacLellan, Amy VanTorre, Susan Shore, Gérard Bélec, Sasha Lapointe Lawless, Christo L'Hiver, Tim J. Moerman and Erin English.

A big thank you goes out to Jason Chen, local Ottawa reporter and photographer for taking time to photograph the jammers in their natural environment! All of the photos posted here are his, from that evening and give newcomers a wonderful peek into the world of comic jamming.

A few people took the time to tackle John Campbell's wonderful challenge "Hourly Comic Day" February 1st, 2013.

Cheers,
