Well, another Chicago Artist Forum has come and went and as always, I was really amazed at the turnout and the artwork on display.
The forum which is supposed to start at 6:30pm always tends to start at 7pm (Artists are never on time).
After the usual introductions and looking at everyone's artwork, the forum really kicks into high gear. Many of the conversations split off into topics which have nothing to do with art, but still interesting. Some of the ones I was involved in where; 70's TV shows and Jack the Ripper (Don't ask).
Throughout the night, all the way up to 9pm, artists are still showing up which is always great to see.
As the night progressed, members started to leave for the long trek home or to see their children and loved ones. Around 11:30pm, it was down to Ray Frenden, Jeff Clark, Mike Reisner and myself. We discussed our involvement in Wizard World Chicago as artists in Artist Alley and other topics.
The Chicago Artist Forum has really begun to take off beyond my expectations and to see so many people happy is really worth it all.
Due to the holidays we will not be having a December forum, but since the one year anniversary of the forum is in January, we are working making it something really special. So stay tuned :)
