The fine folks at Progressive had to cancel so we will NOT be meeting there, that means no demos or pizza :(
But no biggie, we will head to Tracy's Corner Cafe in Warren, MI. We Love Tracy and her coffees, teas and homemade sodas and sandwiches.

We will meet in the Bat Cave as there is live entertainment upstairs (bonus). Please come on out and inspire and be inspired!

WE ARE NOT MEETING HERE!

Motor City Sketch is going to be held at Progressive Art & Framing in Clawson this month. This is a little different for us, but we are pleased to have them as a sponsor this month. They heard about us and dug what we do enough to invite us into there place, bring in some Pizza (yum) and show us some of their work and demo some of their machinery for us. This months event will be a BYOB event. (Yes you can bring Liquor in moderation of course and if you are of age)

COPIC Rocks!

I've always been a huge fan of Copic. I love there products and create allot of work with them. I am often asked to compare Copic markers to Prismacolr and I always have the same response: They are both great and can give you the same results. Although much pricier, Copic is a little smoother and will get you to your destination with less "elbow grease."

Along with many other companies, we contacted both Copic and Prismacolor to see if they had interest in sponsoring what we do in our art community and Copic were super excited to do so. They did an awesome write-up in there blog about us and sent over a ton of free pit pens and markers to give out along with stickers and literature about their products. On top of that, they sent over a Black Ink Pro Wallet to gift out to a lucky guest.

COPIC ROCKS!!!

By the way, we are still waiting to hear back from Prismacolor.

WINNER!
