The Washington Post:

On a Saturday evening in May, inside Union Stage, a music club off an alley in Southwest Washington, a hundred or so people milled about in a dark basement auditorium. They wore T-shirts with anime and comic book characters. Several young women clustered at the bar looked dressed for battle on Themyscira, the mythical island where Wonder Woman is from.

A DJ cranked up electronic music, and stage lights burned to life. Where the gear for a band would normally sit, a large wall of white paper dominated. Metal buckets filled with fat markers hung from either end. Fans corralled into what would have been the mosh pit for a better view of the night’s event: the live drawing competition known as Super Art Fight.

Self promotion and all, but I think this is an instance where blowing one’s own horn is well deserved.

Elizabeth Evitts Dickinson has put together a piece which really gets to the core of why, ten years later, we’re still putting on Super Art Fight shows, why it connects to people, and what makes it really special. It also puts a much needed spotlight on my dear friend and business partner Jamie Noguchi, someone who I feel incredibly lucky to work with and learn from as we go up and down the roads together. Doesn’t hurt that I’m quoted a few times in here too.

And those photos from AndrÁ© Chung are way dope too.

Beaming over here. Beaming.
