Version Fest Time Again

Spring is in the air and so is impending arty madness. Its the time of year coked out art vampires don sunblock to go out of their bat caves once again and the smelly art kids return to the streets to fight the man and their boredom with a mix of dance moves and wheat pasted stickiness. In a dark void somewhere in between these two groups Version >08 is taking place. So check out the website for full schedule and to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun!

Chicago Shine: Gregory Jacobsen

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!

Check out his website for more pics and info
