March of the Robots
March 2019
Every year in the month of March, a thunderous cadence can be heard rolling across the land. Artists around the world celebrate their love of all things robotic during MARCH of ROBOTS! The goal is to draw a new robot illustration each day for 31 days. If you feel you’re up to the full 31 day challenge, awesome! If not no worries. You don’t have to do a drawing every day. Just set yourself a goal and stick with it.
The 3 Laws of Robotic Fun:
1. Drawings can be digital or analogue, but it must be drawn by you and it has to be a robot or depict a scene featuring a robot.
2. Hashtag your drawings with #marchofrobotsand #marchofrobots2019 then post it to Instagram and any other social spot you like. Twitter, tumblr, etc.
3. Have fun with it!

Buy Indie Comics Day
August 3rd, 2019 - Norfolk, VA
Manuel has been in talks with Slover Library in Norfolk, Virginia about collaborating on a few projects and/or events and we're happy to announce that we've got the green light on an event that's near and dear to his heart, on August 3rd, 2019 we'll be celebrating Buy Indie Comics Day alongside various local comic book creators throughout the Hampton Roads Area for a day in which we celebrate the vast world of comic book stories and characters that are out there besides Spider-Man and Batman. For those of you who don't know what Buy Indie Comics Day is all about here's a brief description taken from their official Facebook page:
"We founded Buy Indie Comics Day so indie, small press, and local creators around the Wprld could synergize on a single day designed to celebrate their work. It's our hope that retailers will take this chance to stock up on indie comics, that consumers will take a risk on new titles and creators they've never heard of, and that creators have an event to push their project and interact with as many people as possible. So if you're a creator find a local comic shop and get in there! If you're a retailer, invite local creators to table at your shop and stock up on their books and if you're a fan; buy a comic you've never heard of from someone you don't know. Who knows, that book you've never heard of before might become you're new favorite!"
If you live in the Hampton Roads area and you want to own a copy of my comicbook Project: New Wave #1 YOU NEED TO BE THERE!!!

Inktober
October 2019
Every October, artists all over the world take on the Inktober drawing challenge by doing one ink drawing a day the entire month. Created by Jake Parker in 2009, Inktober is a challenge to improve inking skills and develop positive drawing habits. It has since grown into a worldwide endeavor with thousands of artists taking on the challenge every year. ANYONE CAN DO INKTOBER, JUST PICK UP A PEN AND START DRAWING.
Inktober rules:
1) Make a drawing in ink (you can do a pencil under-drawing if you want).
2) Post it*
3) Hashtag it with #inktober and #inktober2018
4) Repeat
Note: you can do it daily, or go the half-marathon route and post every other day, or just do the 5K and post once a week. What ever you decide, just be consistent with it. Inktober is about growing and improving and forming positive habits, so the more you’re consistent the better.
That's it! Now go make something beautiful.
*Post it on any social media account you want or just post it on your refrigerator. The point is to share your art with someone. :)
