Hey Sketchers... as we wind down the season, I want to give a heads up on what the next couple of weeks will bring.
• This week, we will meet on November the 16th at the Starbucks on Woodward and 13 Mile, at 7:45 PM.
• If you want to show up at Starbucks the next week on the 23rd, please feel free. I, however, will be at home eating Thanksgiving dinner and probably cursing the Lions.
• The last day of November, the 30th, we will meet once again at the Starbucks on Woodward and 13 Mile. I know this is going to be a crunch if you are currently in school, so feel free to bring out any projects or sketchbooks to work on while we are there.
We'll discuss the month of December, because the semester will end on the 15th. See you soon!

Comics and Childrens books update
OH, SNAP! A DAY FOR COMICS: Illustrated books festival features Michigan authors
November 3, 2006

In "Heir to Fire," Ryan Morales gets invited to a cute girl's pool party and battles to save his town from a giant mutant spider.
It's a creepy-cool adventure from Actionopolis, a new line of illustrated novels for young readers that's spun a web of Michigan connections.
Brain-stinging spiders are just the ticket for drawing in kids who'd rather be immersed in video games than books, says Rob Worley, 42, of Madison Heights, author of "Heir to Fire" (Actionopolis/Komikwerks, $12.95).
