This past Saturday March 16, 2013 I was a guest artist at a Sketch-A-Thon to celebrate the upcoming release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation. G.I.Joe is a team of special forces soldiers from the hit 1980’s cartoon series from Mattel Toys. The event had costumed performers from the Cobra 1st Legion charity group as well.

Yo, Joe!
The Cartoon Art Museum celebrates the upcoming release of G.I. Joe: Retaliation with a full day of special events on Saturday, March 16, 2013.
The internationally renowned cosplay charity group Cobra 1st Legion will be in attendance, dressed as popular G.I. Joe and Cobra characters to pose for photographs and greet museum visitors. The Legion will be gathering slightly used book donations for the non-profit Operation Paperback to send books to the real American heroes, our currently serving Service Members and Veterans. Whomever donates the most books on March 16 will be the guest of honor of Cobra 1st Legion on Tuesday, March 26 as they attend a VIP advance screening of G.I. Joe: Retaliation in San Francisco.
Several top Bay Area cartoonists will also be on hand to sketch G.I. Joe characters for museum patrons. Sketches will be drawn free of charge, but donations to the Cartoon Art Museum will be greatly appreciated.
