Deerest loveWhite Stag sign, Portland, OR

Portland, Oregon sign sketch by Chandler O'Leary

The White Stag sign is the jewel in the Northwest’s neon crown. By day it frames patches of the Portland skyline; by night it’s a diamond-bright beacon of riotous flashing color. And in the holiday season, the stag masquerades as a certain reindeer we all know.

I think this just might be my favorite thing in all of Portland—and in a city bursting with my favorite things, that’s no mean feat.

Pin it!

    Just found your blog on Honestly WTF–amazing. Love your style. I am a budding watercolorist, been taking lessons for a few months. Not very good yet but really enjoying the whole process.

    Since you mentioned jackalope, I want to turn you on the Continental Sausage’s jackalope sausage–it’s delish. (Made of, yes, rabbit and antelope, with dried sour cherries and habanero peppers. An instant addiction.)

    If you are even in Denver, check them out. http://www.continentalsausage.com/

    Thanks for the inspiration. I’m now on the lookout for a squirrel mop brush as you’ve suggested.
