We’re thrilled to have partnered with The Chicagoan – our city’s newest (only?) long-form literary editorial. When JC Gabel, the editor-in-chief, first explained the concept of the magazine, it shocked us how deeply we needed this to exist in Chicago. The publication is a reaction to the very same midwest void we touched before we opened our Public Works gallery. We just launched a preview site for the magazine that explains the effort and lets you buy copies of the first issue online, but it’s an extremely limited run, so get it while you can!


We recently just finished up album designs, a rad zine and a short promo video for Personal Space, a compilation album of early electric soul music put out by Chocolate Industries. The album comes out this April jam packed with stellar images of the earth shot by a real NASA astronaut from outer space! Read about it on Pitchfork.


The last time we designed the Empty Bottle website was in 2002! That’s 10 years ago! That’s like one hundred years in internet time. Since then the EB website has worked hard for you and me, consistently supporting Chicago’s great music community. With a bittersweet goodbye to the past, we’re proud to unveil Chicago’s new home for all your concert-going needs! www.emptybottle.com


We recently took a trip out to San Diego to produce and direct a video shoot for Merrell Shoes. Running up and down mountains, walking on the edges of epic cliffs looking out into the ocean and getting ourselves nice and soaked definitely sums up a typical shoot for Merrell. If you’re ever in the area, check out Tiger! Tiger! for some rad oysters.
