CGTweetUP Liverpool

 

CGTweetUP is BACK! and I’ve joined forces with the Super Talented Glen Southern

Glen Southern and I have decided to team up with the guys behind Drawtheonline, to deliver a super cool and fun event.

What is CGTweetUP?

1. CGTweetUP is a really cool CG community which has attracted the skills of traditional artists as well, this is why we decided to create a joint event.
2. CGTweetUP is an event which gives artists of disciplines the opportunity to step away from their PC’s, Laptops, or office and better connect with their fellow professionals to share their Ideas, Passions and their Creativity.
3. CGTweetUP is beneficial to artists who want to form mastermind groups, network with other artists, share ideas, leverage other peoples skills, or just connect with others and build their contacts list.

Every artists should attend their local CGTweetUP to put themselves within the art community.

 

What can I expect if I attend CGTweetUP?

CGTweetUP London

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to update you all on CGTweetUP London which will be happening on the 28th of August.

I am currently in negotiations with Parker Mcmillan in London for the venue location, I should know tomorrow whether or not it’s suitable for our event.

CGTweetUP London will be jammed packed full of CG Artists, Digital Artists, Concept Artists…heck, if they’re an Artist, they will be there.

We’re looking to get 30/40 people but possibly even more, so there will be plenty of talent there to better connect with.

If you want to bring your portfolio’s please do so, we had a few people at CGTweetUP Liverpool with their portfolio’s and it worked well, it was also a great ice breaker, especially if you’re a shy character.

What you should expect to see at CGTweetUP London:

1. Cool Software Demonstrations
2. Artist Presentations
3. Plenty of talented CG and Digital Artists
4. A Sketch Wall…so bring your drawing skills
5. Some Very Cool Prizes

If you have any suggestions about CGTweetUP I’d love to hear them, CGTweetUP is all about you so let me know what you would benefit from and i’ll do my best to make it happen.

I can’t wait to meet you guys in London

bye for now
