I have High hopes that Stumptown will have that creator feel for a long time to come.<BR/><BR/>Arkonbey – I did have a lot of fun. The fest being a whole lot less commercial was great. The other show in town can be creepy see my post <A HREF="http://atomicromance.blogspot.com/2007/02/portland-comic-book-show.html" REL="nofollow"><BR/>Here</A> about it.<BR/><BR/>Yes Wes was there… …although I didn’t talk to him. Sorry I missed out. But there is next year.<BR/><BR/>White Out is a good book, it seems like it will be a good movie too.<BR/><BR/>Snab – if you can fit it in you should try to make it next year. I think you would have really enjoyed some of the panel discussions.Swinebreadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02947060321484913676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-21944795571572609152007-10-02T10:35:00.000-07:002007-10-02T10:35:00.000-07:00Dang.

Out here either it's huge, ungainly conventions in Boston, or little, slightly creepy ones in N.H. Stumptown sounds jusssst right. <BR/><BR/>Was Les McClaine there? out of all the comic artists in Portland, he's my favorite (read as: the only Portland comic artist that I know by name). White out looks wicked cool and is now on my ever-growing List That Has To Wait Until This Month's Mortgage Is Paid.Arkonbeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056581569235023216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6371426616015739116.post-74396555537453076612007-10-01T14:54:00.000-07:002007-10-01T14:54:00.000-07:00That sounds totally awesome!

It's really nice to see artists getting some success in the dog-eat-dog world of entertainment.<BR/><BR/>Also, interesting observation about the guy working at home alone, who moved into a store to create right in front of people. I can say from experience working in your home can definitely be isolating, and his solution certainly put himeself "in the limelight" as it were.<BR/><BR/>I hope the Stumptown fest continues to be an intimate and creative focused venue - I think that's actually a secret of its success.ladybughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08814418184624819506noreply@blogger.com
