Local artist Aaron Trotter just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help fund his Portland Places: The Illustrated Card Deck, which would includes sketches of 52 iconic Stumptown scenes, from an Alberta Street scene and a Chinatown lion to vignettes of local coffee shops. So far, Trotter’s raised $55 of his $500 goal. If you wanna play poker with Portland, ante up now..."
