Last week, I listened to Jessica Hische speak about working with Wes Anderson. This past weekend, the sweetest Renegade attendee said my drawings reminded her of Wes Anderson's work (and I proceeded to tell her I loved her). Today, Moonrise Kingdom is on tv.
Oh, Portland. You fir-treed oasis for wishers, dreamers and life simplifiers. Where your girls have perfected the no makeup makeup look and your lads could pass for barkeeps sliding glasses of moonshine into waiting grass-stained hands.
Where your hotels whisper sexy secrets in low husky baritones. Where your photobooths fool weary travelers into parting with far too much hard earned pocket change.
Where your craft fairs brim with cats and cat paraphernalia.
Where your lush greenery inspire even the most tone deaf to capture photographs for their never-gonna-happen debut vinyl.
Where your lingering presence in our memories has us waxing poetically.
