Best Excuse to Get Your Draw On

Austin Sketch Group

Every Sunday between 2 and 6pm, this laid-back congregation of art students, cartoonists, animators, and graphic design professionals convenes in the homey confines of the Hideout on Congress Avenue, there to spend a few beverage-fueled hours rendering everything imaginable in oversized sketchbooks. It's a friendly, wisecracking atmosphere – especially after a few beers or too much coffee, man – and everyone's welcome, regardless of their ink-slinging abilities. Bring you a pen and some paper, you wannabe Chris Ware or Julie Doucet, and join the fun.
