5X5, From here I jump!

Hi Everyone!, It's me, Alejandro Altamirano, I'm looking into the possibility of organizing an 8 X 8, to the people that aren't familiar with the exercise, it's about drawing 8 pages comic in 8 Hrs., several creators gather, those who have the will to work, a theme is chosen in that moment and the time starts running!. Originally it was 24 X 24, but it went down to 8 X 8, but it could be 6 X 6 or 4 X 4, i don't know why is only on even numbers, why not 5 X 5... The idea is to learn and have a good time, getting started in comics. this will take place at the Concomics, this Feb. the 8th, i'm talking with the organizers to seek for their support, also to the people invited to the event (Oscar Gonzalez Loyo, Rene Cordova, Quetzal,etc.), but it will depend if you guys want to participate on this, This Monterrey event was organize in 4 days!!! I know we can make it happen too! It's the perfect time to show how much we like comics, the idea is to learn and have fun, it doesn't matter the level you're at, in case we can't find room to do this at the conventions, we'll look for a place to do it, i hope you answers to my e-mail or in my devianrt: http://alt2015.devianart.com/ or to my blog: http://newcomicmetal.blogspot.com/ remember that you only need, standard size paper, pencil, eraser, you colors, and the willingness to make it great!!!

Atte: Alejandro Altamirano


Before anything else happens, i will like to thank so much to the people that already sign for the event, Nevertheless, there are some petitions, because of the many contacts that have being added (thanks for spreading the word) please don't answer in chain!, please, sent me an e-mail saying that you want to participate, or you questions too to this e-mail: rec2015@hotmail.com or to this one: comicmetal@gmail.com or even to my devianart: http://alt2015.devianart.com/, or to my blog: http://newcomicmetal.blogspot.com/ To my name, Alejandro Altamirano, this because, right now I'm the only one taking care of this. The people that can't come to Aguascalientes, an e-mail will be sent to you, or a message to your cellphone to let you know the topic and the time, trusting on you good faith that you will send us the work that you did that work in the time that will be set to do it.
