There will be a special meeting (or six) at Taco Bell in Michigan this week. There may also be a meeting in Indiana and a meeting in Illinois. If you are in any of these states please email art @jasonpolan.com if you would like specifics on meeting times and places (Taco Bell). I will not be at the meeting on 14th Street in New York this week. This obviously does not mean that the meeting should not take place.

I am having trouble uploading a picture to put with this text. Let's imagine one instead. Do you have one in mind? If you do you can stop reading. If you are having a little trouble coming up with something maybe think about the last time you ran really fast. Where were you? Do you remember the biggest meal you have ever eaten? Who was the last new person you met? Were they wearing a coat? Was it cold outside? Who is the tallest person you have ever seen?

This was taken at an impromptu meeting of Taco bell Drawing Club on Tuesday evening. What is this Taco Bell Painting Club!?!

I tried to take a picture of some of the drawings from this week's Wednesday meeting but they were so incredible my camera exploded.

Chattanooga!!

There is a new chapter of Taco Bell Drawing Club in Chattanooga. I think that is in Tennessee!

The guy in the back right of the picture was sitting at the booth by himself when the members of Taco Bell Drawing Club came and started drawing all around him. They thought that he looked like a perfect candidate for the club. As they all enjoyed their seven layer burritos and crunchwrap supremes and then got into their drawings he just sat there with his arms crossed. After this picture was taken one of the members offered him a piece of paper and some markers. He was reluctant at first but then accepted the supplies. He started drawing and continued, without looking up, for the following three and a half hours. He made the second best piece of art drawn at any meeting of Taco Bell Drawing Club ever (Katie drew a very good Alan Greenspan a couple of weeks ago here). When he was done with his drawing he lifted it up, the four other members (three in the picture plus the one who took it) all gasped, then the man took out a lighter and lit the drawing on fire. It burned then disappeared. The man said "Thank you." and slowly walked out the door.

I am not sure if this really happened.

Taco Bell Drawing Club is mentioned on the Cool Hunting site!

New York chapter of Taco Bell Drawing Club Official Meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, April 16, 2008, 4-5:30pm at the Taco Bell on 14th Street just west of Union Square in commemoration of Mariah Carey's E=MC². That is a good title!

There will be a huge meeting tomorrow, Wednesday, April 9, 2008 at Taco Bell 14th Street West of Union Square from 4-5:30pm.

I am sorry I have been terrible posting regularly for this blog. I have been busy eating a lot. That is why tomorrow's meeting will be huge.

ha ha, wow.

Taco Bell Drawing Club Volume Three has been completed and is now available. This is the best Taco Bell Drawing Club Volume yet.

The new Volume will be available in person at this week's Manhattan meeting. If you live in other places please let me know your address (send email to art@jasonpolan.com). I will not be able to get to Taco Bell until about 5p. Of course, go and draw whenever you would like, but I will be there with the new books from about 5-6:30p Wednesday 14th Street West of Union Square Taco Bell.

There has been a limited "8.3% color" edition produced to commemerate the third issue, and to showcase the beautiful work of Nicholas Vandermolen (also the cover artist). If you would like to purchase one of these, good luck (ebay?) they are limited to 6.



That ebay line was a joke. The 8.3%'s are $100? This money will go right back into the club (literally? Tacos or other things: art supplies, mail, field trips, etc). The regular supreme full black and white edtions are free to members and also, $100 to non-members.
