The Pen Clique is a monthly live-art show that is now on Season 6!
How it works
Artists are given an episode's prompt ahead of time so that they can design and execute their idea. An example of a prompt would be to draw yourself as a kaiju (as in the Season 3 finale). Prompts are generated by our community, viewers, hosts, or The Pen Clique members collectively. The participants vary by episode and range from 4 to 12 in number, with many regulars you'll see often. Live on the show, the clique members talk about their process from concept to finished work and show off their final design. It's fun and inspiring to see what they come up with and how they are growing over the seasons.
You can watch the show live and we try to share many comments live on the show as they come in on Facebook and YouTube (our main platforms for streaming the episodes). All previous episodes are available to watch on the Clever Kaiju YouTube channel.

How to submit art to be featured on an episode
At the end of an episode, we love to share art submitted by fans of the show. You can submit art for an upcoming episode. Follow us on Facebook or on our Discord server to see what the upcoming prompt will be and then, at least 48 hours before the episode airs, email us at contact@cleverkaiju.com with (1) a link to an image file of your art submission; (2) your name; (3) a link to your website, portfolio, or social media account (if you so desire); and (4) you must copy this text verbatim into your email, to confirm that you agree to the submission guidelines:
"I am at least 18 years of age. The attached or linked image is solely my own artwork and I own the rights to it.
