It's a huge honor to install my collection at the former home and studio of Chicago Imagist, <a href="http://www.mmoca.org/mmocacollects/artist_page.php?id=4">Roger Brown</a>. An extra bit of greatness, is that the shelves that my collection sits on once belonged to <a href="http://timeoutchicago.com/arts-culture/art-design/95142/touch-and-go-ray-yoshida-and-his-spheres-of-influence">Ray Yoshida</a>. Along with fellow artists, <a href="http://edrasoto.com/">Edra Soto</a> and <a href="http://carlbaratta.com/home.html">Carl Baratta</a>, we installed our collections exhibiting a distinct connection with Brown's and with the nature of organic collecting and art practice/influence. This has been a wonderful experience and I hope that more folks can come to experience all the collections there. Our installations will be up till November 18th. </div>

</span><span class="yiv164268608Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Black lights have been used to serve a variety of purposes since the scientist William Byler invented it in 1935 to enhance detection methods from air travel radars to x-ray. From college dorm rooms that create otherworldly spaces to forensic teams uncovering bodily fluids at a crime scene. Drawing from the tendency of their own art work to explore the contradictions within the weird and gross, Paul Nudd and Chris Kerr asked over thirty artists from Chicago and around the world to experiment with different forms and materials to update and immerse viewers in the profound inverse world generated by black-lights.</span><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span><span class="yiv164268608Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Along with the thirty artists installed in gallery 2, Gallery 5 will included a retrospective look at screen printer Keith Herzik entitled "There Are Still Lofty Dreams, Meager Desires and Still Silliness." The curators note that Herzik “ignores and willfully defies most of the recognizable hallmarks of screen printing,” he is trying to push the medium and its materials to their limit. Early in his career Herzik studied with cartoonist Peter Saul in <span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1319915865_3" style="border-bottom: 2px dotted rgb(54, 99, 136); cursor: pointer;">Austin</span> and has since created numerous punk-rock posters and is a prolific publisher of handmade artists’ books, zines and other publications. </span><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />

In addition to the cover, Paul Nudd and I also made a collaborative letterpress print for Black Eye. It was printed by the great folks at <a href="http://www.rohnerletterpress.com/">Rohner Letterpress</a> here in Chicago. This is also for sale at <a href="http://www.ryanstandfest.com/s-t-o-r-e">Ryan Standfest's site</a>.
