On the Scene Report: Popped! People

We went to the Popped! festival yesterday and the amount of inspiration for sketch ideas was through the roof. We didn't know who to draw first: the high school kids in full-on hot topic gear or the melting punk rocker with the pristine mohawk wearing more make-up than my Mom. Of course, there were plenty of shirtless college dudes milling about taking in the sun's rays (have fun tending to your sunburns today, boys).

We even spied a little Kitten-in-Training. Observe:

Not bad, Maya! Once you hit Jr. High and play a few rounds of spin the bottle you might have some material to contribute.

We couldn't draw everyone we saw, but these lucky few were the ones who made the cut. Enjoy!

Popped! People: The Princess of Popped!

This next one is a personal favorite for two reasons: it was drawn by the incredibly talented Jenna Davis about the incredibly awesome Alexis, the mastermind of the entire Popped! fest.

Thank you, Alexis, for throwing the funnest fest ever. You are definitely the hostess with the most-ess, as they say. Thank you, Jenna, for being just plain amazing. We had a blast and can't wait until next year's fest. We've already marked it in our social calendars. In pen.

...And We Have A Winner!

A huge congrats goes out to Rachel for her awesome idea of sketching The Rittenhouse Lawyer. Her point-by-point description of this douchetard had us in belly laughs. We'll get crackin' on that A.S.A.P. Enjoy your tickets to Popped!

A big thanks to everyone who submitted ideas. A few honorable mentions we received include:

• The Wannabe New Yorker. This would basically be girls who wish our awesome Gayborhood was the West Village and love the fact that Philly is referred to as "the 6th borough." These girls are LAME!
• The Mutter Museum-goer. I would have no idea how to draw this person as I'm not sure what a typical Mutter-goer looks like. I actually go to the Mutter quite frequently, but I'm not sure of the physical characteristics of its attendees. I would most likely have just drawn a nerd with a fetus in a jar behind him.

Also, we'll be at Popped! all day today drawing festival-goers which will be featured on our site next week. Get your game face on. No one is safe. Mwah-ha-ha-ha-ha!



See you there, suckers!
