Today I Learned - Comics, Arduinos, 3D Printing & More
Glance
- WHEN May 11th, Saturday, 2pm
- DURATION 2-3 hours. Even longer if you want.
- LOCATION sudo room
- PRICE $0
- NUTSHELL Old-fashioned comic book jam. We will take the end result and print it out as a relief using the 3D Printer.
- INSTRUCTOR Romy Ilano
Github art projects SudoRoom
Sharing is Caring. Please fork and add to the potpourri.

Hardware
- Giant roll out scrolls of paper 20 feet long that we can draw a big comic on!
- Wacom Bamboo Tablet
- 3D Printer
Schedule
- Roll out a big roll of paper
- People draw their characters interacting (1 or more characters per artist)
- We scan the drawing
- We fuse the scan onto a 3D Model using the customizable Lithopane onThingiverse - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:74322
- Print out the lithopane on the 3D Printer
- Warning - this might take a while (at least 20-30 minutes?)
Inspiration
- Bread and Puppet Theater I used to volunteer in the Bread & Puppet Theater in NYC. They are like a real-life cartoon come to life, only mixed with theater.
- There's going to be a Dance rehearsal at 6pm, so if you want to involve dancing in your comics, that's awesome!
- Cartoonist Conspiracy SF Comic Jams! http://cartoonistconspiracysf.wordpress.com
Anti-Patterns
I would avoid these patterns. I've noticed that a lot of wealthy non-profits and profit companies have taken to invading hackerspaces like SudoRoom to get free publicitiy and to lure people to their classes. This is very uncool!
- Turning this into an event where someone can hype their street fashion / street art label / gallery instead of collaborating and creating
- Spending the first 20 minutes of the meeting talking about projects going on in other spaces and watching videos of established cartoonists.
- The event getting hijacked from someone from a wealthy non profit who goes on and on for 20 minutes trying to get participants to sign up for $300 arduino classes.
- Someone showing up and trying us to put all our stuff on a start-up's freemium creative drawing website. That is lame!
- Someone getting paid for an art supply company telling us to spend all our money there.
