2. Look at this Wishbone.
3. I get to get some new chickens very soon and I am STOKED. I can focus misguided maternal attention on some little fluffy chickens like an absolute crazy person.
***These are not my actual chickens*****
4. Oh, I posted this on twitter but I didn't tell YOU, blog reader: I got galleys of my book! WTF! Speaking of chicken weirdness, here I am looking at a phone with an amazingly giant chicken next to me.
5. Did you see this video of the Gossip playing on a talk show at Cannes, wherein our friend Beth Ditto does a grind dance with Sascha Baron Cohen as The Dictator?
You're welcome.
Keen eyed friends will see a familiar face in the background.
6. I have started reading the book Are You My Mother? by Alison Bechdel and was lucky enough to see her read from this treasure at the Bagdad last weekend with my lovely big sister in tow.
By the way, people asked her some amazingly inappropriate questions, which I will not divulge here.
Here is a picture of a picture being taken at her table. Sorry for the sasquatch-sighting quality of the photo.
7. I will be attending CAKE, the Chicago Alternative Comics Expo, this June, thanks to a generous grant from RACC, the Regional Arts & Culture Council. I'll also be on a panel of teachers. See you there!
8. Speaking of Comics Festivals, I met a Klingon at the Stumptown Comics Festival.
I also got to sit by Clutch McBastard & Carrie McNinch. What a pleasure!
Hello! If you head over to the IFC Portlandia blog, you will find a contest for The Most Portland Thing Ever. The winner will get their Most Portland Thing illustrated by me, NG.
To quote Claire, the blogger in charge:
Portlanders, you know those moments. You’re walking down the street, minding your own business, and then you see it: The Most Portland Thing Ever. Maybe it’s a group of grown adults in matching knee-socks playing kickball in the park, or a flop of hippies building new community park benches out of peat moss. No, wait, it’s a chicken on a leash, or a woman sitting in a tree weaving macramé pot hangers to raise money for her alternative circus troupe.
All real things Claire has actually witnessed, by the way.
Look- Michelle Tea has already (informally) done it!
Go over there & submit your own, if you have one.
That's all for now.
Remind me to tell you about meeting the cast of Amazing Race Latino America at a coffee stand in Mexico, and also to tell you about the most feminist thing to come out of the Jason Wu for Target sale.
Until then,
n.g.
P.s. If you miss the contest deadline (Friday, 2/10/12), you can comment some here, just for fun.
Speak your mind!
The Zinesters Guide to Portland was just mentioned in The Oregonian, and indeed there is a pull quote in which I am saying that you have to be prepared to Punch Your Way out of The Goodwill Bins if you find a Mohair Sweater there.
So take a look!
Also there is a picture in the print edition that I drew in homage to my favorite breakfast restaurant, Juniors.
P.s. If you notice I cross my arms and back up to people a lot in photos, it's because I'm trying to pretend I'm on the Amazing Race, and that's how teammates stand in their photos for the show.
9. I finished this really nice cat portrait. That's right, I said my own painting was nice. Because IT IS. Tabbies are hard! I was happy with it.
I don't know if I can accept any more pet portrait orders this year. I am booked up almost completely. It's intense. I'll let you know.
10. What's your opinion of Tan Mom?
Just kidding. I know what you think of Tan Mom. You don't even have to tell me.
11. I'm giving LIVE ADVICE on May 25th at the Waypost as part of Gridlords.
12. AWARDS- I did NOT win "Maker Overlord" of Portland, so I will NOT be riding on a float at the Starlight Parade. But I *DID* win "Teaching Artist of the Year" at the 2012 Sunburst Awards. I am picking up my giant trophy (not really) this Wednesday at a luncheon. Excited for that.
13. There is a new Zine and button shop in town! Portland Button Works is on Killingsworth next to Lillikoi, and you can get my zines there.
GOOD BYE!!!!

Did I ever show you these pet portraits?
A trio of pet portraits!
I even got to meet this trifecta of furriness.
If you want to see all the portraits I've done (give or take) in the past year or so, click on the label Pet Portraits below, or click here.

Harlan is my hero!
Take a look at THIS.
My website has been newly remodeled and made to function by Harlan Mahaffy.
You can now request a pet portrait with a simple form, and view many complex html feats right before your very eyes.
Harlan made this website after thousands of emails back and forth, many last minute requests, and- the night before launch- the entire site going down courtesy of my web hosts who speak mainly Romanian. How did he fix it? Learn Romanian on the fly? Not sure, but very impressed.
If you want to get in touch and order some prints from Harlan, or just say "Kudos, Man." you can find him here.
Also, I have an art show up at Half & Half in Portland starting Thursday and running through September.
Come and have a look at my wigged horses and sad looking dogs.
Everything expensive has an inexpensive archival print counterpart for your wallet.
xoxo
