The Journey

                                    My "City on the Lake" design has been a long time coming. I've spent countless hours staring at the city from this view and appreciating its beauty over the years. The way the skyline rises above Lake Michigan from this angle is so unique and relaxing. The stillness of the massive amounts of concrete and glass contrasted with the free flowing movement of water at my feet is such a pleasure to take in.          This design might be the...

I wanted to try something a bit different and used a gold print for my "Chicago Volleyball" design on a red hoodie. I love the way it came out and definitely want to continue to use this gold print on some of my future designs.   

  I was a vendor at Andersonville Midsommarfest this past weekend selling my custom Chicago themed apparel and can't believe I never participated in this event before.
