I’ll see you all at the Stumptown Comics Fest this weekend in Portland, OR! I’ll be at table L-02 and I’ll also have my VERY OWN panel on Saturday at 11! (I’m bringing free coffee.)

This was one heck of a fun assignment. Thanks to arts editor Alison Hallett and AD Justin Morrison at the Portland Mercury for trusting me with it.
If you’re in Portland this week, pick up a copy of the paper - some of the faces from this piece are also used as spot illustrations for other pieces in the loving and detailed coverage of the festival.
Ahead in the crosswalk
the little dove hobbled,
one leg gnarled beneath
as she swiveled and bobbled.
A car rolled towards her.
Her sisters all scattered -
I saw in my mind the slow crush and the splatter.
Yet before the wheel met her,
unworried,
she flew.
How strange to forget
that a bird could so do.
