we are Quite Strong.

This was a huge week for us, we (Quite Strong) launched our site!

Quite Strong is a collaborative made up of five female Chicago-based creatives. Professionally we are designers, art directors, web developers and illustrators. Personally, we are dreamers, crafters, lovers, bikers, nerds and wanna-be foodies. We love Chicago, we relish creativity, and we want to share what we’re into with you.

 

I have talented friends.

Winter at the Whistler.

Winter at the Whistler, installation by Jana Kinsman, opens tonight. Come join the cool kids and don't hesitate to buy the artist a drink! If you can't make it out this evening, don't fret — the display is up until April.

Jana Kinsman‘s doodles are uncomplicated in concept and charmingly sweet. In this move from pen and paper to the Whistler’s store-front windows, she draws her inspiration from the bar’s clientele. As a lifelong Midwesterner, Jana appreciates the fortitude of the Chicagoan who waits in the wintry cold for a warm spot and a stiff drink. These moments are her muse. Her doodles will stand alongside you in line and provide fodder for conversation, evoke your imagination and if nothing else, plant a smile on your face.
