Travel sketches.

I just got back from the Stumptown Comics Fest, and boy am I completely, utterly exhausted. And yet I'm once again finding myself in a situation where I have to bust out 2-3 finished pages a day for a short period of time to meet a print deadline, which in this case is to wrap up the new chapter before my reading at Powell's. Which, by the way, is at 7:30 PM this coming Monday, April 27th. See you there, Portland peoples!

I had a great time at the Fest, and while I'd love to go over the finer points here, I'm rushing to complete some grays before driving up to Linnton and getting myself a pair of day-old chicks for this year's spring entertainment. I'd rather leave you with some scans from my travel sketchbook.

I went to Brooklyn, Philadelphia, and back to Manhattan from April 8-16th, visiting friends and seeing comedy shows and meeting people for the first time. I had a blast, and the distance from my problems at home was a much needed tonic for my state of mind. I came home with a renewed desire for sober livin' (not to mention a rollicking head cold) and a couple pages of portraits of friends and sketches from the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
