Periscope: Portland's storyboard and comics studio.

Like we said- he's doing a lot better.

First Thursday • JUNE 1, 2006
Sequential Art is proud to present Matthew Clark’s HEROES?, a selection of his original artwork from the monthly comic series, OUTSIDERS, published by DC Comics. OUTSIDERS chronicles the exploits of costumed superhuman adventurers who break the ‘rules’ of the superhero establishment, thus blurring the line between the ‘good guys’ and the ‘bad guys’.

“Heroes?” marks Matthew’s third show in the Everett Station Lofts (which he also calls home), the first at Pause Gallery (Aug ’04), and then at Milk Studios (June ’05). His work was also part of group show at ArtBar (located in the PCPA) in Mar-Apr ’06, featuring artists from Mercury Studio, a collective of industry professionals living in Portland; Matthew is a founding member.

For First Thursday, Matthew will be in attendance to discuss his work and love of the comic book medium. Additionally, he will be joined by several members of the Outsiders in-person: Arsenal, Grace, Indigo, Jade, Nightwing and Shift (as performed by The Kids Your Mother Warned You About Players). They will be searching the Everett Station block for two of their more notable villains, and promoting the “Heroes?” installation.

Yes, you read that correctly. There will be live actors dressed up as The Outsiders running around the art gallery participating in a big scavenger hunt. If you are in Portland, you must go to see this.

The Sequential Art Gallery & Studio is in Portland at 328 NW Broadway #113. (503) 916.9293
