Who we are:
Quite simply, we are the Comic book Artists Guild.
Does this mean you have to be an artist or writer to be involved
with CAG? No, here at CAG we want to reach out to everyone who
shares the common interest of comic book and cartoon art and other
artistic possibilities.
What we do:
We put together an Anthology that encapsulates
CAG members stories and art and distribute once a year. As a group
CAG works towards promoting independent comic book artists and
their creations. We work towards giving the comic book medium
a good reputation into the community around us.
Why join us?
Our goal is to make comic book lovers connect and
network together on projects, as well as give everyone in the
group the opportunity to get exposure. We share costs on comic
conventions. We have planned activities, such as field trips to
museums and galleries, visiting artists lectures and demonstrations,
critique one another’s art work, we are a great way for
you to meet people with common interests and get involved with
fun activities.
Meetings:
We currently hold chapter meetings in New York,
New England and Nebraska. Dates, times and locations are announced
monthly.
Workshops:
Come to one of our meetings and see professionals
give demonstrations and answer questions. Past workshops have
included: Coloring with photoshop, drawing the human anatomy,
