Atlanta Comics Creators

Welcome to Southern capital of comic book professionals

With the hectic holiday season coming to a close, I thought it might be nice to get together to celebrate this wonderful little group of ours and relieve some of the holiday stress. Anyone interested?

Based on the various areas in the "groups" section it looks like most of us live either downtown or on the Northside, so maybe somewhere between these areas? Any suggestions for restaurants or bars?

As for a date, what about the weekend after X-Mas (Saturday the 27th or Sunday the 28th)?

I think that's a great idea. Anyone else available for a real-life get together post Xmas? The perimeter mall area might be a good middle ground for us.

I know there's a Derby bar and grill near there off of Hammond Drive. I've been to the one near my parents house in Sugar Hill, and it's a pretty good, affordable place.

There's a Derby in Roswell too.

I just recalled on my way to work that there's also a Max and Erma's near the mall. I used to work at the one in Duluth and I can say it's got a bigger selection than Derby, but is also a few bucks pricier.

Here's the websites of both restaurants that have been brought up so far, so that people can take a look at the menus and voice their opinion on a location.

And, if I may interject my opinion, if we pick M&E, and you enjoy salmon, you'll kill yourself if you don't order the Singapore Salmon. It's freaking outstanding.

Both sound okay to me. How's that for non-choosing?

FAQ

What is this network?

The Atlanta Comics Creators network is just what it says it is, group of Atlanta-based comics creators who use this online resource to make connections, build peer relationships, and further their comics careers.

Who is invited to join?

All mainstream, indie, or webcomic artists, inkers, writers, colorists, editors, and publishers; animators; and pop art and low brow creators local to the Atlanta area.

What can I do here?

Take part in forums to pick the minds of other creators, mentor and be mentored, develop small groups based on locale for real life connections, show off your work, form creative teams, network into national and international markets based on current members, and more to come, such as chat functions and more.

Why should I take part?

Because working in this industry tends to isolate us more than pull us together. Because you never know who your next boss or co-worker will be. Because making friends among your peers is a good practice. Because somebody worked really hard to try to make this place a useful resource, dang it.

What are "groups"?

"Groups" are ways of hooking up by common interests (such as manga or webcomics), location (North Atlanta or Downtown), job focus (artist, writer, pop art, or animator), or any other criteria that bonds us together in groups of people that can help each other become more effective or just hang out and enjoy each others' company.

Where can I get more info about this network?
