Olympia Comics Festival 2012, pt. 1

 

The 2012 Olympia Comics Festival, the 11th year this event has taken place, was dedicated to our comrade Dylan Williams.

I didn't catch the stageshow portion this year, but I made it to the Olympia Community Center in time to get a shot of the set-up. In the foreground is librarian Kelsey Smith, from Timberland Regional Library. She is a real champion of our art form and deserves some kind of medal for her efforts to promote comic art and self-publishing as a method for expression for people (children and adults alike) who like to draw and write.

Dylan Williams

Sad news from The Beat that Portland cartoonist Dylan Williams lost his battle with cancer.

I had met Dylan at the last couple Oly Comix Fests. A nice guy and wonderful cartoonist. He was one of the official Morty the Blog followers.
