Summary of the Last Meeting (6/05/2024)
Masha has started a book club! The inaugural comic to read is Griz Grobus, which you can read online here. There is also a print edition, if you prefer physical media. The club is meeting June 26 to discuss the first 25 episodes. Happy reading!
It has been decided, we will be getting a getting a communal sketchbook as part of the Princeton Art Council’s Sketchbook Club! The deadline to submit the sketchbook is Friday, October 4, so everyone interested should have plenty of time to spend with it. While the Arts Council owns the physical book, you will still retain ownership of the artwork. Definitely feel free to get one for yourselves as well; it’s fun!
Reminders
It’s summer! If any of you folks are interested in doing outdoor/plein air hangouts, feel free to shout out your interest. Notably, the Princeton University students will be leaving campus soon, so their campus will be prime real estate shortly…
