the art of Will Terrell

If you didn’t get a chance to pick up the paper on Friday to read the article about the Sketch Club, they have it online for you to read. I feel lucky to have had the chance to actually DRAW the cover to this weeks “Go!” magazine Here is the link to the cover… http://willterrell.com/GO_cover_final_sm.jpg and the article is online at…. http://go.lubbockonline.com/arts/drawn-together-lubbock-sketch-club-at-first-friday-art-trail/

I want to thank Steve Wood, Brian Little and Brandon Adkins for putting together an amazing show. Also, to everyone in the Sketch Club that displayed their art, and created “silent panel” comics for everyone to draw on. They were a huge hit! And I really want to thank Mark and Leanne and Hard Tops for being such wonderful hosts. We are very blessed to be welcomed into their gallery each year. And we hope that we can continue to put on a great show. This years show “Sequential Possibilities” was fantastic. We broke the attendance records for the Hard Tops gallery. We had more than 700-750 visitors to the gallery. And its one of the busiest venue usually on the art trail. So it was good stuff.

There are some photos of the event on our Meetup.com page.

The Sequential Possibilities art show will be up till the end of the month. If you haven’t already, please go by Hard Tops on Buddy Holly ave to see our art!

I did an interview this week with the Lubbock newspaper about the Sketch Club and the art show we have this Friday on the First Friday art trail at the hard tops gallery. I am really stoked about our art show! Our artists did a great job getting it together. We’ve got a great group of artists showing their work, and we have some really fun stuff planned with the comics stuff. If you get a chance you need to come out! Hard tops is the best gallery on the Lubbock art trail. So don’t miss it!

Additionally… I was asked to do the cover to the “GO!” section since we’re the featured article. Here is what will be on the cover this Friday! Make sure to pick up your copy!

This is a short video from the other night.  It was the Artist Trading card sketch night at Varsity book store.  The Lubbock Sketch Club showed up to trade artist cards with the public.  Mostly it was just an excuse to hangout with each other and trade cards with each other.  Lol.  It was fun though.
