Designers Korner is a casual get-together hosted by Design Kompany and friends. Sometimes we talk about industry-related trends, jobs, gossip. Sometimes we just hang out and draw. It’s different every time, depending on who’s there. It’s for people who care about connecting with other designers, and mixing it up.
We meet starting around 6:30pm on the first Tuesday of the month. The venue is Vermillion gallery and bar in Capitol Hill on 11th. The address is:
1508 11th Ave, Seattle, WA, 98122
It started with four or five people who do graphic design and multimedia. Over time, some people brought friends. Some people brought dates. Some brought pens. One of my favorites was the time we got a request to draw Naruto. Here are the drawings we sent back.
We’ve had loads of random conversations. Topics range from ninja turtles to Speak & Spell to people who prefer sudoku to sex. One time DK brought some samosas. I thought they would go well with gin. Check out the tracing paper doodles and coaster drawings we’ve done together, too.
Change is good
We used to meet at Stumbling Monk but decided to change it up over the winter holiday in 2008. Still, DK is still pretty fond of that place and we’ll enjoy the memories of many pints there. Especially in the summertime.
