Ben Parrish is a comic book artist who lives in Portland, and creates a line of comics called "Summer 2005 Comics."
For the Space Case, he drew really large versions of them. They touch on such topics as life in Ocean Park, Washington as a teenager, an assemblage of characters in search of a lost Dr. Dre album, ZZ Top, and a dog who loves chips.
My favorite character of Ben's is a guy called W=VV, a sorry soul who thinks the letter W is two V's. If you're going to be in Portland at all in the month of August, you should check out Ben's show!
Emerson Space Case is a window art space on the corner of NE 30th & Emerson. It is viewable on all days at all hours, though it might be too dark to see between the hours of 2am and 6am, as the lights are timed to go off around 2, and the sun comes up around 6.
