Ah, just when I was ready to dive into daily drawings again, things exploded into crazy! All I really want to do is just hop on my bike and ride around all day in the gorgeous weather….. Yesterday, I did get a chance to bike in the city a lot, and it was simply wonderful…. the fall leaves crunching underneath my tires, everything just coated in shades of amber and red, the cool breeze… I love fall so much!!!

I will be posting updates on some of the projects coming up and things going on at the moment, so stay tuned for new posts in the coming days.

And without further ado…..

TEN x TEN

A Creative Collaboration Between Chicago Bands and Printmakers

(click for larger view)
10x10 info

Ten Chicago printmakers chose their favorite Chicago musical artists and bands to each record an original song for a compilation. Each printmaker will create a 10″ x 10″, 3-color print inspired by the song they commissioned. The final package will feature a suite of ten fine art prints and a ten song compilation of exclusive tracks.

Presale: $20 // After release: $30

For this project, I teamed up with the very talented musician & artist, Max Alexander – check out his website for more info and to listen/download some of his stuff (if you’re a fan of The Books, you’ll love his work!)
