Stumptown Comic Festival

This last weekend, I attended the Stumptown Comic Festival here in Portland. 

It took place in a huge convention center, and due to the different events being held there, there was a wonderfully bizarre combination of people present. 

 I had a great time observing the contestants of the Spotlight Dance Cup, ambitious little girls with their faces caked in make-up.

And comic book geeks sketching each other:)

I was humbled by meeting Craig Thompson (he singed a copy of Blankets for me)

 And went home with a fine selection of comics and tons and tons of inspiration!
