Working on something new

More discoveries from the Twenty Second City! This one comes from the height of 14th Cataclysm. I wonder, whatever happened to the Yappers? Did they return to their pods to take refuge when the megafauna took over? Or did they evolve into something unrecognizable? Continued research is warranted here.

Wherever they are, I hope their bellies are full.

Lunch Rush! Inspired by a place I miss dearly since moving away from Chicago: the glorious Patio Beef of Edgewater. I think I ate there one a week for about 6 years of my life. I heard they changed ownership a little bit after I moved away. I hope the new management is carrying the torch well! Going to have to stop by next time I’m in town and see for myself.

I’m going to be visiting Chicago this summer and bringing along with me a limited number of signed prints of this piece. Check the link in my bio or for information on pre-ordering!

Beat Kitchen, 2021 (i think)

Just a classic Chicago neighborhood bar and music venue, located in Roscoe Village. One of the last shows I got to attend before moving out of the city was an emo night featuring the incredible

Thanks for all the memories. Loving my new home in NC, but still missing Chicago every day.

Miss you, Chicago! Loving our new home in North Carolina, but seeing all the snow photos has me feeling a bit nostalgic. Hope you all are staying warm and cozy.

Friends,
After 14 years, I’m moving on. I will miss Chicago dearly, but Emily and I decided that we need to be closer to our family support system to give our son and our pup the best lives we can. We found a beautiful new home and we are in the process of packing up the condo to ship out next weekend!

This is a drawing called “Lake Front Trail”. It’s the first piece in what would turn into the Twenty Second City series. Back in 2018, I often commuted from my job in River North to my girlfriend’s place in Edgewater, riding the Lake Front Trail on my bike. A particularly frozen ride on Valentine’s Day inspired this drawing. I was so decked out in cold weather gear I felt like an astronaut on an inhospitable planet.

I didn’t know at the time that the idea would turn into a series running on 6 years long, but I’m grateful to Chicago (and its insane February temperatures) for inspiring it. Also grateful to that girlfriend for marrying me ❤️

While we are relocating to North Carolina, do not intend to be a stranger to the Twenty Second City. Expect to see a lot more of me.
