Misnaming a rhombus is no laughing matter

Today: Mike Jenkins lunchbag art exhibit reception at 6 pm

Reception, Sat., Oct 24, 6-8 pm
Art to Lunch: Thinking Outside the Bag with Cartoonist Mike Jenkins After a 25 year career as an Editorial Cartoonist, Mike Jenkins left the newspaper business but is still recovering (though he occasionally falls off the wagon). He lives in Arlington, Virginia with his wife Tish and daughter Maggy and works primarily as a caricaturist. He started his company Capital Artworks to provide caricaturists for events around the DC area as well as custom artwork for corporate, government and private clients.

When his two older children left for college, he started doodling on Maggy's school lunch bags. When she mentioned one night during dinner that all the kids in cafeteria would run to see her lunch bag every day, they knew they were onto something. Mike's wife posted the next bag on Facebook, and they were stunned by the positive reaction. That's when Mike knew the pressure was on, and he was back to facing a daily deadline!



PLUS! Art to Lunch: Thinking Outside the Bag, a Handmade Storybook with 17 of Mike's Lunch Bag art which will be available for sale at the reception.

Mike's work can be seen daily on Instagram and Twitter @CapitalArtworks and on his website at www.CapitalArtworks.com

Oct 31: Cartoonists Draw Blood donation drive

The Washington, DC chapter of the National Cartoonists Society is organizing an upcoming blood drive in Washington, DC featuring several local cartoonists drawing for American Red Cross blood donors this Halloween -- "Cartoonists Draw Blood" on Saturday, October 31, 2015 from 10AM to 3:30PM at Seekers Church near Takoma Metro at 276 Carroll Street, NW.

Blood donors are encouraged sign up for appointments scheduled in 15-minute intervals between 10AM to 3:30PM and walk-ins are also welcome. To make an appointment, email CartoonistsDrawBlood@gmail.com.

On the day of donation, donors are asked to drink plenty of fluids, include iron-rich foods in their diet, and bring a list of medications they are taking and a photo ID. All donors will be able to meet the cartoonists and receive a complimentary cartoon sketch.

This year the event will feature cartoonists Steve Artley, Carolyn Belefski, Bill Brown, Chris Flick, Eric Gordon, Art Hondros, Kerry G. Johnson, Mal Jones, T.R. Logan, Liz Reed, and Joe Sutliff.

"Cartoonists Draw Blood" is a great opportunity for cartoonists to perform community service, showcase our talents, and save lives. We've done two previous blood drives, which have already saved the lives of up to 120 people. In past years, the cartoonists have drawn original spooky illustrations, family pets, caricatures, and more. Since this year's blood drive is on Halloween, we encourage attendees to come in costume, however it's not required to give blood. Wear clothing with sleeves that can easily be rolled up above the elbow.

Don't steal this book - The Art of Richard Thompson

I'm very fond of Michigan State University's Comic Art Collection. So much so, that I made sure they got a copy of The Art of Richard Thompson signed by most of the authors. Including Bill Watterson. It's just shown up in their catalog.

Buy a copy for yourself now. You may get lucky and run into Bill one day. Or maybe even Chris Sparks.
