Big WOW! ComicFest–2015 April 19

The convention was nice, with many interesting costumed folk. Possibly the best were these two, playing the parts of the tenth and fourth Doctor from Dr. Who (David Tennant and Tom Baker). The resemblance of the fellow on the left was simply uncanny.

And a couple of others:

Cosplayer in wolf-like costume with blue arms and legs.

Cosplayer in a one-eyed yellow triangular costume with top hat and bow tie.

My major purchase was a couple of more books by Lonnie Millsap. The guy’s work is funny. Sometimes shockingly rude, but funny.

However. After about an hour, I had seen what I wanted to see, and decided to take a walk outside, and I just started seeing things to take pictures of. So the rest of this is really just whatever caught my eye, quite often with no rhyme or reason—just “oh, this looks like it would make a good picture.” The pictures are in the order I took them, just to add a bit more randomness to the equation.

The painted doors are part of the Downtown Doors porject.
The picture of the painting of the woman (the one with the double border) links to the text of the poem beneath the face.
The installation in the last few pictures is Idea Tree. I had to lie on my back to get the shots you see here. Bystanders gave me some weird looks, but hey, it’s no more strange than dressing up as a bright yellow triangle with a top hat.
