New T-Shirt design to raise money for @comfort_station in Chicago.
Comfort Station activates a historic building with public, community-driven programs that foster vibrant connections at the intersection of art and life.
Since 2011, Comfort Station has operated out of a 1920s city-owned building in Logan Square that was once intended to be a space for travelers to stay warm while waiting for public transportation. That legacy fuels their mission to act as a porous and public gathering space for a variety of creative communities.

Refueled The One Series with Lyndon french
I met Chris Brown when he was doing an artist residency at Camp Wandawega in WI. We get some friends together and hit up the Duck Inn supper club for some drinks and walleye cheeks and talked for a few hours. Chris is an artist, publisher and all around interesting character so I was excited when he later asked me if I would want to be a part of his Refueled Magazine One Series. The One Series is a smaller scale publication that focuses on one single subject, photographer, craftsman or artist per issue. Past issues have included good folks like Evan Hecox, Jason lee, Stewart Easton and more.
Since I had another book of more formal photos of finished work being published when we first talked, we thought it would be nice to make this one more about behind the scenes and work in progress photos. Friend / photographer Lyndon French had been shooting with me a lot in the past few years so seemed like a perfect opportunity to collaborate with him and make a book of his photos shot between my studios in Chicago and Wisconsin. This 6x9 publication is 110 pages of those photos with some thoughts from Chris and a few notes from me. Available now HERE.
