LUNCH TIME LOVE #10

another day at hot dougs.


Ben Fasman (editor at large, writer, dj, bartender and all around good guy) holds it down with a Brandy-Infused Portuguese Chorizo with Saffron Rouille and Manchego Cheese with an Italian sausage on the side.


Joey Garfield (director, film maker, solid bloke) tries the Chorizo as well but mixes it up with a Polish on the side. and although i hate the Cubs, ill give Joey props for the shirt.


I tried to keep it mellow and rolled with a corn dog and a classic char dog for the side car (and some cheese fries to wash it down).

the DEMONS IN THE SPRING book that joe meno wrote and i designed is finally out and were having a release party in chicago at quimbys this thursday, sept 25 at 7pm with some readings and music and slide shows and other stuffs........

TRIBUNE SHOWPRINT

ages ago, juan angel chavez and myself took a little road trip to indiana to visit tribune showprint. tribune showprint is a letterpress print shop that opened in 1878. It is the oldest continuously running letterpress print shop in the USA (actually opened one year before famous hatch show print in nashville).






so much good type.......


summer is the busy time with all the carnivals and street fairs


there is a whole room full of the old etchings they use to print photos, so basically in this building there is probably a dated press photo engraving of every band or performer that ever played a midwest county fair


juan and fe digging through years of "clip art", lots of cowboys, fireworks, clowns and balloons


stacks of pre-printed posters waiting for final layer of type


hand setting the wood blocks into the "yeah buddy (round ball)" print we made


taking some notes and planning out some prints


setting up the art show print


the tribune office wall

it was a pretty amazing yet sad trip. on one hand it was amazing to see all this old wood block type and all the old presses but at the same time it was sad to think that there are very few of these old spots still around. hopefully they take care of themselves and can keep the doors open long into the future. it would be sad to see all these old places and the great old printing techniques disappear.



juan and i made 8 different 14x22 prints at tribune showprint that trip (either by setting the art/type while we were there, or having the crew complete our ideas after we left), we are selling a few of them through turntable lab this month.





these 2 based off of my experiences at the maxwell street market while living in pilsen



we tried to find every large circle in the place and put them on one print, at the time we didnt even realize that one of them was actually a globe.



this one was just too good not to do. somethings just speak for themselves....

AN EVENING WITH LOW

lori and i saw Low play a 2 hour set last night at an old church "Epiphany" in chicago. not sure if it was a combination of the atmosphere and the acoustics or what but it was a pretty amazing event. if Low is coming to your town and just happens to be playing in an old church, id suggest you check it out.



although my butt was pretty sore from sitting in church pews for 2.5 hours.

Artists who's work will be on display include: Cody Hudson, Siggi Eggertsson, Michael Gillette, Hellovon, Build, Non Format, Corey Holms, Grandpeople, Marian Bantjes, Tomer Hanuka, Nathan Fox, James Joyce and Many More.

you can see my print here, and see many others from the show here.

LUNCH TIME LOVE #9

(the BLT) Bacon Sausage with Avocado Mayonnaise, Lettuce and Cherry Tomatoes
at Hot Dougs (of coarse).

PANOS 2013

was involved with this cool public art project in France recently (also involved: fellow blogger Grotesk and a slew of other homies, Dust La Rock, Dalek, Steve Harrington, etc)

a collaborative project that takes the work of artists from around the world, in the form of fake road signs, and turns the streets of Lyon, France into an enormous gallery without walls.

The round red and white signs look enough like real European traffic signs that you might take them for granted, but weird enough if you notice them to make you stop and think.

you can check out my signs below, and check out all the other signs HERE.

BUSY BEING is now stocking my book and some select prints.
