For over a year now every last Wednesday of the month Comix artists & Illustrators from all over Montréal meet to take part in the collaborative narrative art form called a COMIX JAM (also spelled Comic Jam). Much like free jazz or the surrealists Exquisite Corpse the jams provide an opportunity for an artist to flex their creative muscles in ways they otherwise couldn't. Jams sharpen the storytellers mind, hone problem solving skills, refine the imagination and give rise to innovation. The Jams have a long history and tradition in Montréal, going back more than 10 years cartoonists and doodles have been darkening the corners of Cafes, Bars and living rooms, in clumps of three or more, stooping over pages pens in hand. The pages from the monthly jams are available in a monthly zine and online at our site - http://www.grenadinerecords.com/jam or http://montreal.comixjam.org monthly Jams have also taken root in Ottawa, Toronto, San Francisco & New York. http://eaosa.ottawa.com/events/events.html http://www.torontocomicjam.com/ http://www.houseoftwelve.com/jam/
