Above is a collaboration that Joseph Lambert, Theo Ellsworth & I had going on at our table during Stumptown comics fest this last weekend! We had a rad time dropping secret acres knowledge all over peoples minds & showing people how to get awesome! It was super rad getting to meet Joe, who's book had me going nuts with radness last year. What a sweet guy that Joe! 

Stumptown was relatively laid back this year at the convention center but all & all was super fun & went pretty great! My only complaint was that the exhibitors were made to wait in a crazy huge line to get in & set up with there badges. Some even long after the convention was open. Welllll, unless you set up the night before...... I had an event & partying to do though!!!! 

It was super great meeting some new faces that I had admired through there work but had not met in person before. Also my favorite Short run krew, Kelly Froh, Max Clotfelter, & Eroyn Franklin are always an exciting presence to behold & hang with!

Stay tuned & I will share some of the nice books I picked up from other artist this year:) I GOT SO MUCH RAD STUFFFF!!!!

 

 Incase you needed a reason to live in mortal fear of my face for the rest of your life I thought I'd post all of the flickr photos from the stumptown comics fest page. I love all of these photo's so much! But sometimes I forget how terrifying I am in reality. Its good to be reminded of how overwhelming ones face can be.

 It was especially awesome being next to this rabble rousing crew the whole weekend

One more thing before Stumptown comics fest rules my life

WHOA!!! Its Happening!!!! This art show formed under me with a lot of fear stress, faces in dreams, & waking in screams. Life is hard, but so am I! Or wait no, its; the night is young & so am I! No! Forget all that! I made these things, come see them on display & traverse realities as I have sifted through them to form allegories of romance and its creation through destruction in a never ending cycle to maintain a feeling! The Limerent Alembic!
The show is a solo art show by me at the SoHiteck Gallery in Nw portlands Everett station lofts. Come find me this 1st Thursday (look for details in the Mercury listings yes!) & get nuts with me & the band Decades for your pleasure! I will be the one in the corner ROTFLOL till the night is over, this is the rhythm of the night!
