It advertises a GRAPHIC BOOK CLUB, on Tuesday July 22nd at 6pm on ZOOM

Are you a fan of comic books or graphic novels? Join us on ZOOM for this month's meeting of Durham County Library's Graphic Book Club.

Each month we pick a type of story (fantasy, crime, manga, etc), then come together to talk about our books and share our ideas and impressions of what we read.

Our topic this month: Science Fiction!

Join us on https://www.meetup.com/Graphic-Book-Club/ for more details about this month's topic, including springboard/discussion questions and a list of suggested titles, or register on the library's event calendar https://durhamcountylibrary.libcal.com/event/14396140 to get added to the mailing list!

ESCHER I LOVE ADORABLE LITTLE QUEER GENTLEMEN

IT WAS JUST A NEW EXPERIENCE 🤣

Oh my goodness, we need to get a drink together before you leave the area Escher 🤣

You're so good at it too! Such a comfortable instructional style, put people at ease really well.

You're fine! I had fun! And the way it was structured *did* let me see a noticeable improvement.

And somehow I was actually enjoying tracing, which was just shocking to me.

Really enjoying @escherbug.art's Observational Drawing class at my library tonight!

Escher is a super patient instructor and I'm shocked at how I don't hate everything I've put on paper

Hey @escherbug.art !

We got pencils! (and if an order goes through quick enough these might be upgraded to nicer charcoal options)

A bos of unsharpened, multicolored, thoroughly branded pencils.

It is not hard to wear a mask in public for the people you love.

And bonus: it will protect you as well 💜

It was such a great talk!

And you absolutely hit a number of very motivating notes all throughout (after laying out the Big Heavy stuff)

Fingers crossed we'll have the budget for you again, Doc! 🤞

No harm done here.

I like Hutchins Garage over on Geer st, depending on where you are in Trinity Park.
