July 2010: The Official Month of CLAW

Posted By: JJ Filby on April 29, 2010 in Featured, Official Time - Comments: No Comments »

From the CLAW website:

Our mission is to gather talented Washington State cartoonists of great skill and humongous egos in frequently secluded gatherings during which the secrets and mystic arts of their sublime craft are practiced. Behind closed doors and away from prying eyes, the most pointless and silly of rituals will be freely indulged, much to the shame of our spouses and children. Oh, and we will give a scholarship to an art student, probably a very meager one, while we wait to welcome our Robot Overlords.

Check out their website and art @ cartoonistsleague.org. Sounds like an awesome group.
