New SCC Headquarters

We're moving our meeting place. As of our next meeting, 21st July our new headquarters is upstairs at Noah's Yard in the Uplands. No more squeezing around a table with a football match in the background, we'll have our own room with settees and comfy chairs.
This Street View link was taken before Noah set up on the site of the old Thomsons Travel shop but it should help you find us. So come on down, blart in hand and join us.
Finally, many thanks to the Brunswick for putting up with us and the occasional slugfest.
SSC assemble!

Forth & Fifth

The fantastic fourth meeting in January went really well with our best attendance yet. More new members arived, sketchbooks and scripts were passed around and the SCC master plan started to come together. With a few gatherings under our belt we've started to discuss fundraising ideas and what to spend those funds on. As well as producing an anthology of our members strips, we've now put participating in 24 Hour Comics Day 2009 on our 'to do' list.

Got any more ideas? Next meeting is Wednesday 18th February, 8pm, The Brunswick...

X-Mas SCC Meeting - 16th December, No Sign Bar, 8pm

The third Swansea Comics Collective meeting and the last of 2008 will be held at the No Sign Wine Bar on Wind Street on Tuesday 16th December from 8pm. We've tried to move the days around to catch as many interested people as possible and started the frequency at bi-weekly, mail us if you've not managed to attend yet and we'll see what we can do.

Last meeting (1-12-08) round-up: The Collective is really starting to heat up, we had four comic stories discussed at the latest meeting. All in various forms from rough concepts and character ideas to written page breakdowns. Most of the ideas have been posted on the SCC Google Group, and some of the artists have already started collaborating and sketching. If you want to read them or post your own thoughts, join up and head on over here.

Hope to see you there, if not, Merry X-mas!

The journey commenced

Hey, we did it!
18 members made it to the Brunswick for the first meeting. It was an enthusiatic affair, members introduced themselves, got to know each other and chatted about comics. There was a good mix of writers and artists, Dan, Lee and Pietro brought along their sketchbooks to show them around.

If you can't attend the meetings sign up to our Google group we've set it up so members can discuss and post directly with each other. We will continue to post info on the blog but mainly to advertise our existence and inform interested parties who've seen our posters.

We want to keep the momentum going and everyone at the first meeting seemed keen so we're having the next meeting on Monday 1st December from 8pm at the Brunswick Inn.

First Meeting Date Announced

About bloomin' time an' all!
Yes, your patience has been rewarded, the first meeting is taking place on Wednesday, 12th November at the Brunswick Inn, 3 Duke Street, Swansea from 8pm. Brunswick map and directions are here.

This first meeting will be about establishing the group goals and getting to know the members so there is no need to bring anything but yourselves. If you can't make this meeting, don't worry we will hold meetings every month.

Can't wait for the meeting? Want to get started now? Head on over to the new SCC google group at groups.google.com/group/swanseaComicsCollective/ . Here you can discuss your ideas with other members and post up sketches, pics, files whatever you need to get those comic ideas flowing. The group is just for SCC members so you will have to request membership but once you have joined you use the same login info as this blog.

Hope to see all there!
