Cartoonist Conspiracy at Work
2010.02.20
Ken Nordine, the noted word jazz poet, had a piece called “Amateurs” which began,
“We get together every week…”
It also concluded,
“We are all amateurs. No one lives long enough to be anything but an amateur.”
I’m reminded of this when every two weeks this group of new friends gather for a few hours of artistic communion, drawing art to a common theme to produce a community comic in the allotted time. it is great stuff to witness. These magicians do make something out of nothing and they do it with great skill. I appreciate their kindness in welcoming my scribbles as part of their work. I am not a draftsman, but I may be one day if I hang around these folks long enough.
