Well that's awesome

Put a bird on it!

We can pickle that!

Did you read it?!

La Marco... instead of LaVazza :3:3:3 ?

Sorta! I was actually trying to think of a brand of espresso machine... marazza or or something. it is the brand a friend of mine uses for his coffee shop.

There had better be artisan knots in the con bags!

Pfft. Only poseurs would attend a con sans artisanal knot.

nice illustration! :O

Oh man, this is awesome. I'd love to go to a con in Portland!

Why do I see this being an actual place?

Damn, too bad pierrezaius and aixarata aren't behind that counter. Missed opportunity!

You did a really nice job on the fox though, don't see too many flat-chested females in the fandom.

"Helvetica in hand ba-"? I'm missing the joke!

Your comments are always so amusing.

A. Not really a missed opportunity. I just wanted to draw some original characters.
B. Who said it's a girl?
C. Helvetica in a handbasket as in "hell in a handbasket."

I once knew a drag queen named Helena Handbasket.

Comic Sans in a Handbasket would be hilarious too. I can see how that can be a boy I suppose, seeing that that is a shirt pocket and not an "under boob". Looks a bit dainty to be a boy.

And I am happy to hear that I am amusing to someone in my life! :3

Comic sans in a handbasket is... not a pun. And the only thing more prevalent than the misusage of Papyrus and Comic Sans is lazy jokes about Papyrus and Comic sans. So, I have to disagree on the whole hilarity issue.
It may be a girl or it may be a boy. I am not sure.
And I am sure you are a treasure to many a person.

Helvetica in a Handbasket is a pun?

Hel-vetica?

I think my most favorite part about tis whole picture is the color scheme.

Getting Kyle MacLachlin as a Guest of Honour?

"Diane, these furries might know something about the black lodge."

"The Spooge must flow"

"SOMEBODY DANCE WITH ME PLEAAAASSE"

*snirk* Helvetica in a Handbag...

Also you simply must consider the sociological ramifications of having both shod and unshod patrons in the same establishment. What kind of hipster joint is this

I... I didn't even realize I did that...

I's suspecting that the con will take place at a doily-laden, squeaky bed and breakfast, complete with animal-shaped towels, a jalopy ride, and wine and cheese tasting. Even though I don't drink wine.

I do believe this is quite the interesting advertisement.

I totally fanboyed when I saw Saphy post your art on the FB group for Furlandia yesterday. Absolutely stellar art! :D

Awesome illustration. Hope the con can deliver on a coffee spot that lives up to it.

Pretty sure I've seen that fox at the coffee shop down the road...

Damn those liiiines! I love them so much for some unexplainable reason! YOUR LINEY PICTURES ARE SO LINEY AND NICE! :p

I'd like one order of hot tap water with a flavour shot of maple please :3

You're a barista, make it your damn self!

I'M ON MY BREAK

This is so damn good in so many ways. You captured the way Portland feels as a place! That's no mean feat.

I'll pass your compliments on to Marco!

Please do! And thank you for doing so on my behalf!

Not to sound sappy but I hope you left room for cream. ??? Barista jokes??? I'm too cheap to order in coffee shops, I don't know the parlance.

I like my tap water EXTRA LARGE and EXTRA HOT. :9

hahahaha dat name >_>

it would be great to be able to make it out there

IM SO EXCITED TO GO THIS YEAR <3 <3 <3

Here's a man who knows his coffee. I have the exact hario kettle and pour-over gear! Is this a result from first hand experience or research?

Oops, not enough compliments in that previous one. Really, this is one of my favs by you! The use of color, characters, vibe, just love it!

My friend owns a coffee shop! :3
I have been around a lot of really talented baristas and coffee jockeys.
As for me, I know how to make decent coffee, but I rarely do (I have been subsisting off of Costa in my moka pot or just a cup of Nescafe.)

But thank you for the praise! And yes, I like how this turned out. I wish I would put more effort into my "world-creation" in general

I really dig the colour scheme here, though admittedly until I read the description I thought it was perhaps inspired by trips to London coffeeshops.

I am also guessing that there may be a little nod to  hottapwater over there on the blackboard, but that could just be coincidence :3

No, no, it is! I just always had a notion to make his name into a menu item but didn't have the chance until now. I almost did in a marco and marty strip.

So is furlandia right next to portlandia?

And the con needs to make a promotional video like this.

I think this is one of my favorite things I've seen you draw! All the little details like the newspaper cover and the blackboard really help pull the viewer in and give the eye so much interesting things to look at. As always the brushwork is impeccable and I really love the limited palette!

Woah woah woah hold the phone! I only just noticed the HTW in there when I saw it on the Furlandia site! :O

It's a menu item! You know... for those who bring tea-bags from home. :3

Really diggin the vibe here. Nice minimal color scheme.

BTW, This is officially my new desktop! It is as stimulating in the morning as a shot of caffeine.

P.S. Portlandia is wonderful.

Cacao, beau. Cacao!

Also awww that's adorable

ahhh this is so cool!! wonderful work as always and its so uplifting to hear a con getting its roots in my city!

to be honest fred armisan is kinda a dick, i met him when aziz ansari was doing stand-up but maybe he was just in a bad mood because aziz didn't want to be on portlandia.
