Please join us at Lightning Comics on Saturday the 17th of December (Noon to 3 pm) to celebrate the Dark Horse Comics debut of local artist Joshua Covey, with the release of House of Night #2!
Josh will be there to sign copies, and he and other members of the Guild will be on hand to draw free sketches for customers. We'll also have copies of our recently released Anthology Vol. 2 for sale (for which Josh did the cover), with contributors on hand to sign those as well.
Hope to see you there!

24 Hour Comic Book Day!
It's that time of year again! The 24 Hour Comic Challenge is fast approaching - this international event, now in it's 8th year, will be held October 1st - 2nd, 2011.
The Challenge is simple; you have 24 hours to create a 24 page comic - this means writing, drawing, lettering, all in one 24 hour period. This is the 5th year that the Challenge has been hosted in Spokane, and this time there will be two locations available for local participants.
The Comicsmiths' Guild will be hosting the Challenge, in a location that should be very convenient for those in the Spokane Valley area or coming from across the border in Idaho. You can RSVP at the Facebook event page: 24 Hour Challenge - Spokane Valley
The Valley Challenge will run from 8 am Saturday to 8 am Sunday, and will be held at:
Otis Orchard Community Church (Annex Bldg.)
23304 E Wellesley, Otis Orchards, WA 99027
In addition, Merlyns will be hosting the event downtown, starting at 10 am Saturday morning on the 1st and ending at 10 am the following Sunday. For more information you can check out their website at Merlyns.biz and RSVP at the Facebook event page: 24 Hour Challenge at Merlyns
Guild members will be in attendance at both locations, and there will be additional activities for attendees - we'll have updates on activities as more information becomes available. This is a kid-friendly, all-ages, event and all are welcome!

Current Events!
Our next monthly Guild meeting is this upcoming Sunday (the 21st), and is a barbeque at member Levi Skeen's home. He'll be providing burgers and hot dogs, so if you're planning to attend please bring a side and drinks. If you need directions or have questions, please contact the Guild - you can email us through the link found at the upper right of this page.
Next week will also see our third Spokane Drink & Draw of the year, brought to you by Cyrus O'Leary's and the Spokane Comicon! The event will be on Thursday evening (the 25th), from 7 - 11pm, and everyone is welcome. This will be in the regular restaurant area as opposed to the bar, so it will also our first all-ages Drink & Draw! You can RSVP at the Facebook event page: Spokane Drink & Draw Part Tres
Members are hard at work on their contributions to the Guild's second anthology comic, which we hope to release later this year. This will be a themed book, with a collection of scary and spooky tales. When we get closer to a firm release date, we'll have more information about it available here.
The Jet City Comic Show is coming up on September 24th in Seattle, and several Guild members will be in attendance as exhibitors. Confirmed so far are: Levi Skeen, Nathan O'Brian, Mike Lail and Erik Thompson.
And we are also happy to announce that the Guild will once again be present at the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle! The convention is March 30 - April 1 2012, and we'll have a table in Artist Alley. ECCC is always a great event, and we're excited to be back!
Last, but certainly not least... a while back we decided to do a jam piece, with different people drawing various Green Lantern Corps members. They were pencilled separately by Guild members, and then assembled and finished by our resident inker extraordinaire, Levi Skeen. This was a lot of fun and everyone's really happy with how it came together. We hope to get this colored and available as a Guild-exclusive print, and also want to do more of these type of jam pieces in the future.
