Rotofugi Gallery Chicago Pride Show

The dudes over at Rotofugi Gallery asked me to contribute to their Chicago Pride show. Above is the outcome. This is the first formal piece at this size (16″x20″) that I have been totally happy with. Most of my other fine art work that you have seen here has been around 5″x7″. Thanks to Andy Schwegler of Letterform for the photos.

Get It Together @ Co-Prosperity Sphere

I curated a show at the infamous warehouse gallery known as Co-Prosperity Sphere here in Chicago’s Bridgeport area. I made the mistake of not only curating the show but also creating new work! Who am I kidding… there is no way anyone can have enough time to make some work, curate, and promote a show simultaneously. Somehow I made it work. The show turned out pretty stellar. Pictured above are the show flier and grocery store installation which were both done in collaboration with the very talented Adrianne Goodrich. Also my hand painted five-by-eight foot Get It Together beer caddy for the front window. Check out more photos as well as the press release and a short video about the show at getittogethershow.com.

Collages for The Post Family’s grand opening of The Family Room







Collages For The Family Room Grand Opening

The Post Family just moved! We are super stoked. The new space allows enough room for a gallery (rightfully named The Family Room) and our screenprinting and letterpress studio. The images above are 10 pieces I did for the house warming party along with some fun process shots. All collages available at The Post Family Store. While supplies last!
