Artist at work

Sure, comic/fantasy/sci-fi conventions are often about star attractions and awesome costumes … but there’s much more.

Impromptu snake

Someone looked at the wavy patterns on the side of a building in Portland, Oregon, and figured two goggly eyes can magically transform it into a snake-like creature. Works for me!
