My favorite comic book store is throwing a book launch party for Girls Drawin Girls on Saturday.
Come and meet the talented ladies of GDG and get their newest book and calendar signed!
Girls Drawin Girls was founded in 2006 by Simpsons veteran Melody Severns and storyboard artist Anne Walker as a way to showcase women artists working in the male-dominated industry of animation. Together, they felt it was time for these talented women to demonstrate their creative abilities and artistic interpretations of female sexuality by re-defining the art of the pin-up.
Since its conception, the group has published three volumes of pin-up art and grown to over 90 active members who work professionally in various entertainment industries.
The group provides collaborative projects for its artists (such as book collections, group art shows, and opportunities to participate in charity art events such as the Pasadena Chalk Festival), in addition to promoting each member’s individual artistic endeavors through cross-promotion and marketing prints, original artwork and other art-related merchandise.
Temaki Fresh Sushi Handrolls food truck and bar will be set up for all to indulge!
Girls! Girls! Girls! Jan. 22nd, 3pm: An Afternoon with Girls Drawin Girls
