The Drink & Draw Social Club began as a small group of artists gathering at bars and bringing their sketch books. Soon, comic book, video game and animation artists from all over the world began to partake in the new phenomenon. Today there's a Drink and Draw chapter in nearly every large city across the globe. Thanks to Dave Johnson, Dan Panosian and Jeff Johnson, pints and pencil shavings are getting better and better acquainted every day! The three artists who will join us at the 38th Anniversary Gala and Auction have worked for Marvel, DC and Image Comics on books such as Spiderman, X-Men and Batman. They have also worked extensively for all Warner Bros Animation and Sony Animation. You won’t want to miss this fabulous opportunity to have your portrait drawn by these masters at the Gala for only $10!
