SO CLOSE. And by that, I mean it is in the same city as a bunch of Mies buildings.

Definitely in the city. I don't draw anything outside of our fine borders. Unless the price is right, ha!

But the "Hotel" part in "Hotel Baker" is right 😉

Nope! It is much further west, and also more north.

A party. An animal party!

Name that building...

A bunch of you have been asking if there was going to be another Open House. Save the date.

Well, one and one is two
Six and two is eight
Come on baby don't ya make me late
Hi-de-hey
Baby don't you wanna go
Back to that same old place
Sweet home Chicago...

If you want to get technical, it doesn't exist east of Halsted either. (I only know this because I just looked at a map and saw Halsted doesn't go as far north as Montrose)

Nice! I'll check next time I go by.

They do look really cool! I wonder how many similar ones there are. Hmmm...

Wow, thanks for this. I had never seen one before, then two within a week or so of each other. They are really cool looking, and I first thought they were just big corner bungalows (I saw the first from the back and side), then realized they were holy bungalows once I got to the front.

Anyone know anything about these bungalow-ish churches on the NW side? I randomly drove by one a few weeks ago, and then saw another similar one a few days ago. cc: @dmercer.bsky.social @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social @tudoraf.bsky.social

Ooooh I love it!

Popolo. The pizza was soooo good. Like some of the best I've had. But maybe I'm not picky when it comes to pizza, but damn, the crust was awesome.

So...you gonna apply?

I'll report back. He told me he'd tell me next time we talk, so I'll let you know once I know.

My dad showed me this today and acted all surprised when I didn't remember it from when I was probably four years old (almost 40 years ago). Check it out @ladytophamcatt.bsky.social

...and then the tamales will be donated to local food pantries to get them to our neighbors in need. This campaign has been set up in collaboration with the Street Vendors Association of Chicago.

Grab a shirt or sweatshirt here: www.bonfire.com/store/tamale... (3/3)

The emotional toll is just as heavy: parents and grandparents are afraid to leave their homes, and children carry the stress of uncertainty. The proceeds from each shirt order (plus donations) will be distributed to local tamale vendors... (2/3

The current political climate and ICE enforcement threats have heavily impacted street vendors, keeping many from working and leaving families without income. A single day without sales means no money for rent, food, medicine, or childcare. (1/3)

I think Logan Square Preservation will eventually sell them. I think...

Illustration showing 21 iconic signs throughout Chicago.

New work: We have a vibrant and rich history of sign making, and it is the Chicago Sign Museum's mission to keep these remaining legacy signs in the Chicago area for cultural and educational purposes through ongoing advocacy efforts. Proceeds from this print go to supporting those efforts.

Thanks so much!

Here's a subtle reminder that there are 20 Chicago-inspired fonts available for f-r-e-e on my website. Use them wisely.

Ah, I was there 215-245ish.

Here's what my son ended up drawing.

What time were you there????

Close up of a print with a representation of Chicago in a circular shape. A ‘tree’ says ‘Urbs in Horto’ on it.

Sneak peek of an updated version of ‘Urbs in Horto’ debuting at Open House Chicago this weekend. 6 colors with metal type, 1 linoleum cut. #letterpress

Some new work for our friends at the Columbia Yacht Club! The CYC is a site that is open to visits during this weekend's Open House Chicago, and I'd recommend it. I went last year and enjoyed exploring the ship that I have seen docked in the same spot my entire life.
