The Mother May I Marathon

The Mother May I Marathon
Mother may I drink, Mother may I draw?

brillobox Drink and Draw has been going full-blast since October. The drop-in sessions have hosted models costumed from burlesque to drag. Drink and Draw will host a full day of drinkin’ and drawin’, the Mother May I Marathon, on Saturday May 5 from 1-8PM.

Look what Phat Man Dee has to say about Drink and Draw …

"I heard 'bout yinz, drinkin', drawin', like some kind of drunk drawers.... Suckin' dahn them fancy schmancy microbrewsn'at, dahn the bar in Lawrryville, gettin' all artistic n'at. Ain't natral" - Phat Man Dee

The models will be costumed and some props will be available for the sessions. The sessions are uninstructed, drop-in sessions. The brillobox will have paper and crayons on hand, but bring anything else that you want to work with. Water-based and dry mediums are welcome. (Sorry, no photography or oil-based mediums)

Tom Sarver at Drawing Marathon

Here's some shot's I grabed off the Tom Museum website of a wall drawing done during a drawing marathon that past.

At the "8-Hour Drawings," Tom created a piece called "Yesterday's News." Throughout the day, Tom asked spectators to read articles from the previous days New York Times. Ideas from the stories inspired the narrative of Tom's work.

January 20th, 10am-7pm - 8-Hour Drawings, Allegheny College, Meadville, PATom will be away from the Tom Museum this weekend participating in an all day drawing project. This event is open to the public. While Tom is away, museum staff will attend The Tom Museum. 8- Hour Drawings will be held in Allegheny College's Bowman and Penelec Galleries from January 23 through March 6th, 2007. An opening will be held Tuesday, January 23rd from 7pm - 9pm.

I am not sure if the drawings are still up.
