My friend Jesse
Reklaw just started
curating the art shows at
Guapo Comics and coffee on 6350 Foster road here in Portland. This first show is a presidents themed show and has contributions from over 25 local artists. There's an opening reception on Saturday the 31st of January from 7-10 pm. There will be things to eat and drink, art, and people to talk to. If you haven't been to Guapo, it's a great shop in a beautiful space, and run by a couple of the nicest folks in town.

I had a great time this past Saturday hanging out at Guapo Comics and Coffee http://www.guapocomicsandbooks.com/ during the Fun on Foster St. Festival. My good friend Sean Christensen organized a table of art supplies, and the two of us, along with a number of awesome artist friends, hung out doing collaborative art with all the kids that came in. Drawing with kids is probably one of the best things ever. a bunch of the drawings from that day are on display at Guapo and the proceeds from the art sales go towards P:EAR, an amazing arts center for homeless youth http://www.pearmentor.org/
