So, the past three days have all felt like Sunday to me.

Friday felt like Sunday because it was the end of something and Kip and I were seeing someone off home. Two someones–Erika Moen and Dylan Meconis.
It helped that downtown Portland was relatively deserted and many things were
closed for the 4th. Naturally, Powells
was open so the four spent some time there, the
Roxy and—because Erika‘s and Dylan’s train was going to
be be two hours late—we took a tour of the Classical Chinese Gardens and got wired on green tea.

Yesterday felt like Sunday perversely because everything thing we did on Friday is pretty much the type of thing I’d do on a Saturday. That and I was at a point in drawing a Dicebox page that usually happens on Sunday. And today was Sunday, which I spent in my traditional manner of drawing, the only exception being I deigned to leave the house with Kip to have dinner with Sara and Steve
at No Fish, Go Fish in order to retrieve my digital camera that I had left at their house on Thursday night—which had felt like a Friday night. But that was because Thursday night was the opening reception of the
group cartoonist show at Pushdot Studio.

Besides all the lovely art on the wall at Pushdot, there will be two Flash Animations presented at the opening.

One will be by Robert Lewis (the same one in the show) which will be a gorgeous display of “self-drawing” foilage with some interesting transitional effects. The other in wacky offering from special guest Sean Bellows entitled Tex Waco: Millitia Man [sic], exposing the hazards of pig farming.

And this is a reminder of the opening reception for the cartoonist group show
at Pushdot Studio,
which will be from 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Pushdot is located at 830 NW 11th Street
in Portland, between NW Kearney and Johnson. Across the street from Pushdot
is a massive bit of construction that proudly announces the coming of a new
REI.

I will be in attendance along with the other members of the show: Christopher
Baldwin, Barry
Deutsch, Indigo
Kelleigh, Robert
Lewis, Linda
Medley and Kevin
Moore.

And there will be other cartoonists as well, including two out of state visitors,
Erika
Moen (Peachy Kean) and Dylan
Meconis (Bite
Me). I would link to their joint art and comic website, but alas, projectkooky.com
is down. And Erika would just like for the world to know that this time it is
not her fault.
