Any SVSers in the SoCal area?
-
I'd love to join this! MIramar is definitely within driving distance!! I love the idea of an end-of-month weekend gathering!!
-
That sounds awesome! Meeting up would give that extra motivation to get more done!
-
@shinjifujioka @Coreyartus @holleywilliamson Wonderful! (And I need that motivation too, Holley!) I think end of the month is excellent. I'm traveling too, this coming week.
OK, so are you all thinking about Memorial Day weekend? Or are we into June 1st weekend...? Let me know your thoughts...
-
@Glenda-Rogers Either one works for me!
-
@Coreyartus @holleywilliamson @shinjifujioka Either one is fine here too. Sunday would be the preferred choice of days. Saturdays may have children's groups in the morning or early afternoons, but we'd be able to meet after them. I'll get back to you on times that would be available on Saturdays.
-
I think a Sunday would work. I should have a better idea at the end of the week.

Hi Shinji! I’ve been wanting to connect with artists in person and I live in La Mirada which isn’t too far from Tustin. I’m not very good and have only been drawing for about a year, but if you’d still like to meet up, I can meet anywhere between La Mirada and Tustin. If you’re looking to connect with more seasoned artists, then I completely understand. Thanks for reaching out! If anyone else is near La Mirada or near the East LA area, I’d love to meet and draw with you!
-
Sooo sundays don't work for me and I would need to plan farther in advance if you do a Saturday, like end of June. Let me know when you plan on meeting and I'll see if I can make it work.
-
OK, News here: I have full clearance for Saturdays! That was a surprise, but maybe it will help. Either Sunday or Saturday now will be available. We could start earlier, and you could join in later in the month, Holley. Would that work for you?
@shinjifujioka Is Saturday better for you? Either day is fine now...
-
Sundays would work better for my wife and me. I could do next Sunday, unless that's too short notice. I also don't want to exclude @holleywilliamson , so you should totally plan a Saturday if that works for everyone else.
-
@ashinmakes not sure how active you are on the forums, but sent you a direct message in regards to meeting up closer to Tustin.
-
@shinjfujioka That may be a bit too short notice, but let me get back to you. What time of day would work for you?
-
@Glenda-Rogers Next Sunday should be fine as well. What works for the others in this thread? And the earlier the better. Like maybe noonish.
-
I can make any of the Sundays (or Saturdays) you guys set down. I'm on summer break and live 20 minutes away. I don't have any conflicts in the foreseeable future.
-
Ok, We are on! Next Sunday, being June 2nd, (as in NEXT? Sunday? @shinjifujioka ?)
Because it's the holiday weekend I want to be sure. Please let me know asap, about which one, as I can do THIS Sunday, May 26th, but it will be a bit tight for me due to a holiday committment at dinner time and evening. I'm willing to try if you guys want.
Can you guys email me at glenda@glendarogers.com with your email addresses, and I will send you directions to the office and my telephone number.
To kick us off, I'll bring bagels and smears, coffee and tea is already there as office staples. If you want a different beverage, probably best to bring it with you. Also, we do have a real water cooler with mineralized water, cold and hot, for mixing anything you want to bring for yourself.
I'm excited about this! I think it's going to be a good group!
-
@Coreyartus I was thinking about your concern about being at a level that's helpful, and realized you bring a major important skill with you, Costume Design and handling. Children's books and fantasy art, always involves costumes and clothing handling, so that your knowledge, I would say, will be invaluable to setting scenes and making them more dramatic and improving realism in rendering. You're an expert in this, and that is a serious asset in illustration. There have been times in my life, where I was asked to portray certain scenes and had to do a lot of digging to even begin to find out, what a style would look like, and if I could have picked up the phone and had an expert at hand, it would have been a tremendous asset.
-
@Glenda-Rogers Yes, June 2nd is what I was thinking. I think that will give a few others time to plan for it?
-
Perfect! We are on for June 2. Please email me with your addresses so I can send out directions at: glenda@glendarogers.com
Thanks, @shinjifujioka
: )
-
@Glenda-Rogers Thanks, Glenda, that's very encouraging. I'll join you folks and contribute what I can, but it's clear to me that the road of my educational journey is just beginning. I'm not really embarrassed by it, it's just that I am at a different point than I think most of you are. I'll gladly share what I can. LOL! I am really looking forward to meeting some other SoCal SVSers!!
