thanks to everyone who has taken time to view this collection, either online here or at one of the gallery exhibitions. extra special thanks to all those who have written or taken time at the shows to share their stories of portland... speaking to each of you has by far been the highlight for me in being able to share my story with you. if you've just finished reading mfs and have a story to share, i encourage you to email me at: mail [at] stephenh [dot] net.

extra special thanks also to those who made the gallery exhibitions possible: kaebel at sequential art, thanks for believing in the collection and giving me my first solo show. you made it an enjoyable and stress-free experience, and i feel priveleged to have been able to show in your gallery. thanks as well to nessa and sarah for gracing the exhibition with their talents and modeling skills, and to sarah for also assisting with selecting and picking up materials for the frames. special thanks to my sister katie as well for all her support and transportation assistance.

big thanks to my good friend mikee for making the TOMfest show happen, and for all the on-site promotion and support. thanks as well to the TOMfest staff on the day of the show. huge thanks to dacia for helping make me look organized where i wasn't, and to courtney and leanne for being my dead girls for the night. you all made that night easily my favorite presentation of mfs by far... thank you for your patience with me and extending your talents and visions to the show.

thanks to all who supported the shows by telling friends, handing out showcards, posting links across the internet, and buying books and prints at the show. your support has been most appreciated.

thanks again to everyone reading this and anyone i forgot.
you make this all worthwhile.
