The Dune Comics drawing nights were the third Tuesday of every month at Café Racer on Roosevelt Ave NE, beginning in 2012 until the CoVID Pandemic shut it down in 2020. I began participating in 2015. I have published a book of my drawings which is for sale through Push/Pull Gallery (Click the Buy link if you’re interested) There is a magazine article about the event in Art In America. (I’m in the opening photo but my face is shielded by the gesticulating guy in the striped shirt.)
