    Ryan & Trevor Oakes

    Vision

    Check out the work of Trevor & Ryan Oakes. There's a lengthy article on them over at the Chicago Reader that explains their process. It's definitely worth reading. There's a piece of theirs by Cloud Gate in Millennium Park that's been up for a while now and it's amazing. If you haven't already seen it, go. The park is wonderful this time of year.

    Man, I thought these were all gone, but apparently not. I've got 8 left and they'll go fast, so if you were one of the many people who emailed asking about them, nows your chance. Get one here.

    Gabe Lanza

    Paintings & Sculpture

    I've enjoyed Gabe's work for a while now. I used to check out his work on Second Friday's in Pilsen when I lived down there. Great line work on his paintings, and his sculptures are fantastic. He's got a solo show that opens this Friday at the A. Okay Official Gallery. Go check it out, you won't be disappointed.

    Flashback

    So I was looking through an old Transworld Skateboarding Magazine (November 1997) today and came across some work by Jason Vivona. I looked him up and he's still doing some pretty rad stuff. He's got a bunch of work up on his flickr site. I'm really digging the painted records. Oh, and the skateboards, I always like good skateboard graphics.

    You ever loose contact with someone only to find out years later that they're doing some cool shit? Matt was my first roommate when I was in college back in like '97. I Haven't really talked to him since, other than a couple random emails here and there, but I just found out he's got some great collage work that you should definitely see.
