DESCRIPTION:This October\, Drink & Draw explores Character Creation. Alongside this month’s guest artists\, learn two unique approaches to developing imaginative characters for your next puppet play or comic book. \nGuest Artist: Myra Su\nAs one of the oldest forms of puppetry\, paper and shadow puppets have delighted and entertained for hundreds of years. Myra Su will be walking us through engineering expressive paper puppets using everyday recycled materials. She will be sharing techniques from her many years as a touring puppeteer with Manual Cinema\, as well as from her most recent puppet film\, GOODNIGHT SHADOW\, that features articulated paper doll-like puppets. Together\, we’ll explore both shadow puppets that focus on expressive silhouettes as well as paper puppets with hand drawn features.  \nJoin us for this fun mid-week break to build your own cast of characters for a magical at home shadow play.

SUMMARY:“Ask Me Anything” with Dan S. Wang
DESCRIPTION:Free for Spudnik Press members (Please fill out this RSVP form)\n$10 for the General Public (Register Online)\nStudents & artists with financial need can enter our lottery for a free ticket\n\nThis event will take place on Zoom. Participants will be emailed the Zoom link the day of the event. \nUnlike the typical lecture\, this event is inspired by the “Ask Me Anything” threads popularized through Reddit and offers a chance for our members to guide the conversation with guest artist Dan S. Wang. \nDan is an artist and writer living in Los Angeles. His current obsessions include histories of monetary policy\, and the afterlives of the French Revolution. Recent projects include commissioned work for Station Museum (Houston) and Asian Arts Initiative (Philadelphia). He often has worked in collaborative situations\, as in the past as a founding keyholder of Mess Hall\, an experimental cultural space in Chicago\, to a present day collaborative vehicle\, Now-Time Asian America. His critical writings have been published internationally in book collections\, museum catalogs and in dozens of artists publications. He holds an undergraduate degree in Religion and an MFA in Printmaking. Since 2019 he has been a Resident Artist at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. \nDan will talk about his work\, A Ragbox of Overstood Grammars\, a twenty-year retrospective of eighty-plus letterpress prints. This archive-in-a-box includes prints\, posters\, bookmarks\, stickers\, broadsides\, menus\, and napkins made under the imprint Propositions Press\, and was last displayed in 2020 at Fonderie Darling in Montreal. Dan assembled the box as a way to mark the years in which letterpress printing was his most steady studio craft\, a period that is now over. In addition to covering the work\, he will reflect on what it means to make such a break in one’s artistic arc. \nAfter hearing stories from Dan’s experiences surrounding letterpress over the years\, the second portion of the event will be led by audience questions. Spudnik’s Program Lead\, Grace Makuch\, will moderate a Q&A where guests are encouraged to share their questions for Dan\, big and small about his career\, interests\, and experience with letterpress. \n\n\nThis event is for everyone! ASR closed captions will be available. If you require another access service to fully participate or have any questions about accessibility\, please contact Angee Lennard at angee@spudnikpress.org. To ensure the best experience\, please try to contact us at your soonest convenience.

SUMMARY:Drink & Draw [VIRTUAL]: Enchanted Characters: Illustration
DESCRIPTION:This October\, Drink & Draw explores character creation. Alongside this month’s guest artists\, learn two unique approaches to developing imaginative characters for your next puppet play or comic book. \nGuest Artist: Micael Nuñez\nMicael uses the natural world as a starting point to invent and design whimsical characters and visual narratives. While her characters are often haunting but cute humanoid-plant forms\, you can implement her guidance  for your own style or genre of drawing. During this illustration-focused Drink & Draw\, Micael will be sharing her unique process for developing these fantastical characters. Using basic drawing materials as well as red and blue colored pencils\, participants can invent their own character that could thrive in an ocean\, a forest\, a garden\, or any setting that one desires.  \nThis creative session is great for all experience levels\, and might be especially helpful for those interested in comics\, zines\, and design. If you attended Enchanted Characters Drink & Draw on October 13th\, this is an opportunity to develop a new one of a kind protagonist for future paper puppet theatricals! \nSuggested Materials: \n\nPen\nPencil\nEraser\nBlue or red colored pencil\nLoose paper or sketchbook\n\nOptional Materials: \n\nFavorite nature photo \nA brush pen\n\nZoom Meeting ID: 81172191868\n\nDrink & Draw [VIRTUAL] is a low-key drop-in workshop devoted to staying creative from home.
