This month at Sequential Art Gallery
{328 NW Broadway #113}
SELECTED WORKS BY DEREK STUBBS

February at Sequential Art Gallery will showcase the comics art of Derek Stubbs. Interested in more than just “final” art, Derek is intrigued by the process of creating. The “how” of the art is as fascinating to him as the “what.” To that end, his solo show at the gallery is his attempt to share the process of putting the pieces together. The show will open First Thursday on February 4th, 6-10pm, and run through the end of the month.

After a short stay at the New York State Psychiatric Institute in 2006, Derek found that marrying words and pictures was what he wanted to do with his life. The result of this has been his immersion into the world of comic art, and projects like TheMin, Mr. Popularity, Oh Snap! A Series on the Hazards of Portland, Filthy Comics and others. He moved from New York City–his home for the previous 15 years–to Portland in 2007, and is glad he did.
