So I've strong-armed my way into Pen Club - a gathering of Toronto illustration A-listers. The monthly meeting was founded by Steve Wilson, Aaron Leighton and Clayton Hanmer, among others. Pen Club is the perfect intersection of art and beer. It's a chance for those who draw to do so in public, instead of in their dank basements. Out of the dungeon, into the glaring, burning light of day, as they say. It's great to draw with these guys cus they're so damn talented. In fact, callling each other talented is a big part of pen club. We all take turns looking at each other's sketchbooks, saying things like: You, sir, are an effing genius.

To the right, Tightie Whitie.
