Chicago Shine: Gregory Jacobsen

Published on April 1, 2008 0 Comments

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

If we don’t save the planet, THEY will!

Come meet the “Council To Save the Planet” and be treated to a “Tour of Heaven” In celebration of Earth Day and to promote this prescient speculative eco-parable, Quimby’s will host a reading of the 10-minute play “A Tour of Heaven”

Monday, April 21st, 7:00 pm. Quimby’s Bookstore, 1850 W. North Avenue

“If you think Global Warming is a thing of the future, it’s not. It’s
happening now” — Steve Croft — “60 Minutes (CBS)

A story of Global Triage to save…a few. “The Council To Save the Planet” is good old-fashion speculative fiction that mixes drama with hard science in the best of the old masters, Hubbard, Clark & Bradbury.

“Our planet faces a number of difficult challenges…and I particularly appreciate [Conrad’s] commitment to the preservation and protection of our environment. [Conrad’s] continued activism and interest in the environment, along with [his] support and encouragement are essential to the success of our efforts.” — Al Gore

“The Council to Save the Planet is a must read for anyone interested in the survival of the Earth and its environment. Author, Conrad Lawrence, has rendered a wonderful piece of speculative fiction, depicting the near future where people are given a second chance to learn to better care for their planet. It ranges from drama, to pathos, to the comedic with a brief glimpse into the far future.” — Chicago Magazine
