Its always nice to see some local Chicago talent getting a little shine! Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to see the work of Gregory Jacobsen featured in the new issue of Hi Fructose. It seems they chose to run some of his tamer paintings but his work still comes across! So check out the issue or grab Gregory’s show catalog/zine from us before they go for big bucks on ebay.
A fine example of his work!
Quimby’s heads should know the works of Raphael and Noah Lyon. Raphael is the mind behind Mudboy and compiled the CDR’s we used to sell titled “Haunted Cobblestone” & “Free Matter for the Blind.” Noah is the mind behind Retard Riot and is also the guy who makes those crazy one inch pins we sell a lot of…you know with sayings on them like “Teenage Mutant Ninja Testicle.” The brothers will be in town to have an art show and crazy opening event! So check it out next week! You have been warned.
Raphael Lyon (Mudboy) and Noah Lyon (Retard Riot) are having a show at Heaven!
Opening Friday,Feb. 22nd 7-11pm
1550 N. Milwaukee Ave. 2nd Fl.

NOAH LYON & RAPHAEL LYON in THE LYON FAMILY CIRCUS
Inspired by great works of art like Todd Browning’s “Freaks”, John Waters’ “Cavalcade of Perversion”, the brotherly love of punk rock workaholics the Ramones, and the collective sound mastery of the Wu-Tang Clan family; notorious east coast ringmasters Noah & Raphael Lyon said “Gooba-gabba, gooba-gabba, hey ho, let’s go, Chicago!”.

A while back we hosted an awesome event with the Eye Rocket books guys to promote their crazy art/zine/grande school send up titled Works Cited. At the event they took people’s picture and then added their own twist to the images. The results were hilarious and often always spot on!
Check how we faired after the jump!
