CG Workshop Event - "Anomaly"

So I've been taking some time on the side working with a few folks for this event, hoping to get
quite a few people, including some PCers to come. It will be taking place in Vancouver and it'd be great to gather around for an evening of learning and networking.

Here's a little description, in a nutshell.

[Anomaly] is a fusion of an art workshop and party to be held in Vancouver on Saturday, April 25, 2009. This event will feature some of the most talented local artists and showcase live art demonstrations, keynote speakers, and a lounge party throughout the night from 7pm to 1am. The purpose of the event is to bring 2D/3D artists together and provide a platform for inspiration and creativity.

Interested? Check out the [Anomaly] event website at www.cgmovement.com/anomaly/ If you are interested in attending, make sure you subscribe to the event at the bottom of the website for more information!

You Vancouver folk... always getting these awesome events :P

It just sounds classy, and that is an awesome website. Shame my buddy moved from Vancouver, or I would use this as an excuse to go visit them. Or, rather, visiting them as an excuse to attend this.

I know i cant make it to canada but its good to see even more artist trying to strengthen their community by doing these art workshops! I know i've been working really hard doing art workshops down here in Texas! Keep up the good work!

hmmmm... Let's see... If I don't eat for a while and cut back on laundry I might be able to afford a plane ticket or if Grey Hounds go international I might be able to do that and still have a good time ^_^

wait a second... I might actually be able to afford this! Woohoo!

although my parents would certainly question my intentions for such a trip =]

Hey guys,

Just got another artist on board from Image Engine in Vancouver for our second keynote speaker so it will be 8 guests at the event showing cool works of art in 2d/3d.

Free valet parking at the venue or shuttle for participants.
