May 2013

These Jams were done (or added to) at the launch of Courageous Mayhem back at the start of May.

The Jam will be back in the usual spot for June - 8pm Thursday 27th June, upstairs in the Lord Edward Pub, Christchurch. All welcome - bring your own sharpened sticks and animal blood - we'll provide the tanned hides.

Don't forget this Sunday, 23rd June, 12 - 5pm  is Independents Day in the Dublin Food Co-Op, 12 Newmarket, Smithfield. One of the best opportunities in Dublin to pick up all the latest and greatest self-published comics and zines - you'll find stuff here you won't get anywhere else. All that and food, live music an art exhibition and much more - many Jam regulars will be there a-stalling. http://independentsdaydublin.blogspot.ie/

March 2013

Your jammy lot of combo-strips from March is below.

April's Jam will be postponed due to not one but two comic launches in The Workman's Club, Wellingtons Quay in Dublin, on Thursday 25th April - come along, all are welcome:


Firstly at 6.30pm Paddy Lynch and Rory McConville's long awaited BIG JIM from O'Brien Press will be launched with a Jim Larkin speech recreation from actor Jer O'Leary and some words from artist Stephen Mooney (Angel, Half Past Danger, Eclectic Micks) and Dublin history and culture blogger Donal Fallon (Come here to me).
More details on the Facebook page here.

Then at 8.30pm the reins get passed to Ronan Kennedy making a rare Irish appearance to launch Mindpuss 2, a book that's set to be a mind-boggler frankly.

Both books will be available for signing and sketches by the creators on the night.

If that wasn't enough Irish comics, another date for the diary is Saturday May 4th at 4pm in the Little Green, 13 High Street, Dublin 8 on Christchurch which sees the launch of new Irish anthology Courageous Mayhem - more details here. Facebook page here. Again, many of the contributors will be there on the night and available to sign or draw on a copy or do a little jig.

January 2013

Thanks to the dedicated crew who heeded January's plaintive call for jam participants and chipped in with some scorchers. There were many more not-yet-done pages not-yet-scanned - come along for February's jam and add your tuppence worth.

Next jam Thursday 28th February, 8pm, The Black Sheep Pub, Capel Street table reserved in the snug area up by the toilets - it's not immediately visible from the rest of the bar so have a good look if you are unfamiliar with the place.

It'll be on 8pm, Thursday 13th December in the Black Sheep pub on Capel St. All welcome - paper will be provided, bring your own drawing tools.
