This Saturday: ARTS & LITERATURE AT THE LAKES in West Covina

Wolverine Live Art Event

The Cartoonistas would like to thank Rubio's in West Covina for having us at their Wolverine movie opening kick off at the Lakes in W. Covina. We had a good time and I think the crowds did too. (L-R) Javier Hernandez, Jim Lujan, Steve Romo, and Raul Aguirre were the artists in attendance. Music by DJ Rex. Thanks Nuvein!

Rowland Heights Saftey Fair pics

The Cartoonistas were happy to be invited to the Rowland Heights Safety Fair. The event included lots of community organizations (including the Nuvein foundation for the Arts). We met lots of nice folks and did some cool (if we say so ourselves) art. Thanks to everyone that came down and supported us! Be sure to check our calendar for future events (on the top righthand side of this site).

Jim Lujan with a Batman/Joker "Dont Do the Crime" poster.

Yes, thats Sheriff Lee Baca right there. He's looking at a Cartoonista sketch (not!).
Possible furure Cartoonista? Shane, I believe. This kid could DRAW!

Wolverine by Javier Hernandez. For opening day of Wolverine (May 6th) the Cartoonistas will be drawing outside at RUBIOS in next to the Edwards Theater in West Covina!

All in all it was a blast. Great weather, cool people, and lots of vibrant art made. A good day! Stay tuned to our calendar for future events! If you're interested in having the Cartoonistas draw at your place of business...leave us a comment below!

Raul Getting his art on!

Our man in Pas, Library master Nick! Thanks for treating us so well.

Jim Lujan and Raul Aguirre...animators united....or is it animators untied?

Javier Hernandez: "Please..no paparazzi!" Jav was one of the main attractions this evening. He demonstrated comic creation techniques and the crowds were really into it. Javier teaches a comic workshop and really has the magic touch when it comes to teaching.

All in all the people really made the show special. Thanks to all the parants and kids and couples and teens that made our night in PASADENA ROCK! As Arnie said...."We'll Be Bach (Yeh, I said Bach!)
