The Center for Graphic Facilitation

Cartoonists Unleashed

Graphic facilitators Drew Dernavich and Matt Diffee, both established cartoonists for the New Yorker, participated in Cartoonists Unleashed, the first-ever cartoon variety show, for the New Yorker Festival. 

Neuland Facilitation Walls

In the every-burgeoning quest for the best (and lightest) solution to being a graphic facilitator, we are constantly searching for the Nirvana of portable wall systems.

These may not be the lightest, but they are pretty dang mobile. Last week, our new panels from Neuland arrived ahead of schedule for a local scribing gig.

Although we could have bought the GraphicWall Bundle at a 15% discount (valid thru 9/30/05), we opted for the more basement-friendly combo of a left and right including paper dispenser and carrying bags.

HOPE: Katrina Comix Relief Effort

From Ronin Studios:

The news from New Orleans and the states hit by Hurricane Katrina are horrible. Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims, but Ronin Studios wants to do more than that.

After releasing the HOPE volumes benefiting the Red Cross in the relief effort for the victims of the Tsunami of December 2004, Ronin Studios is now in the process of putting together another volume of HOPE to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina via the Red Cross.

Icons Gone Wrong

"Ah, the hilarity of icons-gone-wrong. This is pretty good!" writes graphic facilitator Jay Smethurst of Sente Co.

The government has designed a website, www.ready.gov, to help Americans prepare for a terrorist attack.

It proclaims: "Terorism forces us to make a choice. Don't be afraid... BE READY!"
