Here are the Guidelines:

  1. Respect other artists at all times. Failure to do so will result in you being asked to leave.
  2. Respect the store’s policies and requests. Krypton Comics gives us space to do this event at no cost to the artists, so please respect customers who are shopping and our space.
  3. Do NOT bring in or work on artwork with possibly offensive subject matter (keep everything PG -13).
  4. This is NOT a competition. We are not here to judge people’s skills or browbeat. We are here to share.
  5. This is NOT a resource for free artwork. Most folks at the Artist Jams have either paying projects they are working on or are doing this for fun, so please do not ask for artwork unless you’re planning on paying them for their time or compensating them accordingly.
  6. You CAN promote your upcoming events at the Artist Jam.
