Okay guys this is going to be a busy week for SAS!

Our SAS ANTHOLOGY due date is this FRIDAY! Don’t forget!

Also on Friday we have Tom Lyle’s gallery show in Brunswick GA! If anyone needs a ride please let us know! Whitney is organizing a carpool to get students there!

On Saturday we have our first SAS BOOKFAIR at Barnes and Nobles. The bookfair lasts from Nov. 5th through the 8th but we will be gathering on the 7th at Barnes and Nobles between 11am- 4pm to support the club! If you want to sit at one of the tables to draw or if you just want to come out and support the club, any help is appreciated!

On Sunday we are meeting at NORRIS like we usually do. I know we announced that we would meet at Barnes and Nobles but we are not. WE ARE MEETING AT NORRIS IN ROOM 304 like usual.

Hey Guys!

I hope everyone got a chance to attent comics art forum this weekend, if you did not then you totally missed out but do not fret! We have some notes for you guys!

Our fabulous guest of talented proffessionals this year were Mark Schultz, Ben Caldwell, Robert Atkins, Derek Kirk Kim, Brandon Graham, and Sanford Greene.

The actual Comics Art Forum can be found on SEQALAB.com, as they were nice enough to record it for us but here are a few pointers that I thought were extremely important.

Networking: The general consensus was do it! Go to conventions, build a website and gain an internet presence! It is important to know people not only because it could bring on possible jobs but it is good to remain on good relations with your peers.

Working: Don’t wait and evaluate your best work hours. If you work better at night then work at night. Stay excited about drawing and keep it up. You may end up working all day with little interaction from the outside world but you have an oppurtunity to do what you love!

If you get an offer, take it!

Again the actual forum will be on seqalab.com, so go check it out if you missed it!

THANKS to everyone who showed up at the first meeting, it was a great turn out!

But for those who didn’t get a chance to come to our first meeting, we made a few notes about what we went over.

First, (after all those crazy introductions <3) we went over what to expect from SAS this quarter. We want to try and do a work shop every meeting with a Professor, grad student, or anyone who is confident on the subject we might be focusing on that work shop. Some of the things that you guys said you would be interested in learning more about was:

Dramatic Light/Noir comic
Character development and design
Screen printing
Lettering and paneling
Screen tones
Folds
Script writing and developing stories
Mini-comics
Convention prep
Backgrounds and perspective
Inking, and digital coloring

We will try out best to get everything you guys want in, and if there is anything that is not on the list that you would be interested learning or learning more about then please let us know and we will do our best! The next thing we went over in the meeting was the anthology that will be due Nov. 6th, for more information on the anthology then please click the link to the anthology page. (It should be on you right under the Pages section.) Or you can email us at sequentialartsociety@gmail.com.

Reminder! Next meeting is canceled due to 24 hour comic day. Feel free to come to Norris at 10am this saturday and work on comics, or even homework for 24 hours. There will be treats and each room will have a different form of entertainment so please come by! Everyone is welcome to join in (and if you want to sign up there is a sheet at the bottom of the stairs in Norris)

Now the next meeting, which would be October 11th! We are proud to announce that Prof. Mark Kneece is going to come and talk to us about script writing and story development. So if you have questions about a certain story you might be working on (*cough* anthology *cough*) or if you have questions about story development in general then please come and listen! Even if you don’t have any questions about script writing, feel free to join because you never know what you might learn!

I believe that is all so I hope everyone is having a great week and I look forward to seeing you all at 24 hour comic day!

SIDE NOTE! Could everyone who wants to be on the email list please email sequentialartsociety@gmail.com so that we can actually send you things! (A lot of the emails we currently have are invalid.)

Come on out to the Sequential Art Society, we will be meeting at Norris Hall 548 E. Broughton St., 2pm in room 304  . For this first meeting we’ll get to know everyone, introduce you to the officers, go over what we have planned for the club and ask the members what they want to happen with the club. We’ll also go over the anthology and how you can submit. Afterward you can stay with us and watch the Wonder Woman Animated movie (which is really good by the way). So if you love comics come join us this Sunday. If you dont know how to get there just to ask and we’ll get you there.

PS- If you want to work on homework while we watch the movie you can bring it with you.

Fall Fest this year was a HUUUGE success! The SAS table got a ton of new students interested in the club and we thank all of those who came out there.  I know we received over 100 people who signed up on our mailing list and that is amazing, it’s awesome that there are so many people interested in Sequential Art.  Our FIRST meeting will be next Sunday the 27th at 2pm, most likely at Norris Hall.  But seeing as we have so many people interested in coming by we might move it to another bigger space.  If anything comes up or anything about the first meeting is changed we will message all members letting them know and definitely post updates here onto the blog.  If you wish to email us our address is: sequentialartsociety@gmail.com

Thanks Again!

Peace.
