April 21, 2018: After an evening of stage-strutting, performing and city-crushing, Monstark is officially named the second-mightiest monster in Portland! I am honored because all the monsters here are mighty, especially the talented creatures with whom I shared the stage. The Monster Pageant was a perfect weird, warm, welcome-to-Portland celebration for me, because it brought together some of my favorite things...art, costumes, performance, karaoke and hanging out with monsters! Thanks to Alex Chiu and the Portland Zine Symposium for putting together this epic evening!
