Cartoonistas attack! Jim, Gras, Ted, Javier, Romo, Will

Lovely art, lovely art patrons.

Cartoonistas art was displayed as it was created on the walls of Geeks and was sold.

Window art! Yes! Just like in Amsterdam's red light district? Well, not quite. There was a crowd gathered all night though. It was sort of surreal. That's Steve Romo in the window.

The newest Cartoonista: ROXANA! She made her debut at this event and she ROCKED! We are glad to have her on board. She brings a great variety to the already diverse lineup.

The Lady Cartoonistas dazzling the crowd.


Ted Seko revealed an amazing black and white creature style that completely amazed the crowd. We hope to see more of that in the future. He did 3 or 4 pieces in that style that evening. They were hugely popular.

Jim and the power of tape.

Thanks Ted Lujan for the gig. The staff at the Atlantic Library were amazing. The kids...CRAZY! we loved it. They did too! Over 100 people in attendance. WOW. What an awesome night. Javier Hernandez ROCKED the crowd with his Iron Man and Joker pieces. Near child rioting broke out when it came time for the free raffle. The Iron Man will be hanging up in the library soon (he donated it). It was a packed house and the Cartoonistas would love to do it again.

All in all it was a good time had last night in Pasadena. The Pasadena Central Library is a beautiful place. I think we missed the loud music, though. That always adds the to atmosphere. The crowd seemed very interested in our art processes. Pasadena is a great place with lots of great people who like great art and the night was....well...pretty great. We would LOVE to do another show in Pasadena.
