A drawing from last Sunday’s D&D by Drawn & Quarterly summer intern Melissa Mendes:
Well, it rained today, but we at D&D Montreal were not idle. Some lovely sketching took place in Casa del Popolo, and the warrior location drawing session will be postponed until late August when it might just be summer.
Thanks to everyone who came out, and don’t forget to send in your drawings from the day!
Going out and drawing in the real world is one of the best ways to hone your skills, draw people, and enjoy the summer. Join us for a D&D SUMMER DRAWING SESSION this Sunday, July 26!
At 2 p.m. sharp we’ll leave Casa del Popolo (4873 St-Laurent) and walk over to Parc Mont-Royal to sketch medieval warrior battles, sun bathers and more!
As usual bring your own everything. In case of rain we’ll stay at Casa.
A little inspiration: Michael Alan’s Draw-A-Thon Theatre in and around NYC/Brooklyn. If you ever get the chance it’s a great drawing event to check out.
What is a comic? What is a jam? Not quiiite sure but there were definitely some interesting collaborations going on at Wed. night’s D&D :
more images to come…
For the next D&D we decided to resurrect the Comics Jam!
What is a “Comics Jam” ? Well it’s not a bunch of dudes geeking out over Spiderman. It’s a collaborative drawing party, and YOU are invited.
HOW: Bring a nice piece of paper, divide it up into segments, and start drawing (painting, colouring…). When you have filled one square you pass it to someone else and they fill the next square and pass it on. There are no rules, styles vary, stories unfold, people fall in love, wars break out, the world is knocked off it’s axis, Days of Our Lives is still on television, shit is fun.
WHERE: Casa del Popolo, 4873 St-Laurent
WHEN: Wednesday, April 15 7 p.m.
WHY: Because.

Thanks to Tyler Rauman for the fine idea and poster artwork!
If you checked out the first Music to Draw to last Monday you probably still have chill music in your ears, the smell of fresh baked cookies in your noses, and ink on your fingers. What a lovely evening. Didn’t make it? You’re in luck – it’s happening again this Monday and the next one too.
Do show up early, because it was this full at 7:30p.m. (photo by Ryhna Thompson)
