graphically local.

Check out Dan Blackman's Chicago illustrations for an alternative travel guide to the United States by Cicada Books.

The Loop, beers, and books are just a few of my favorite things, but check out the rest of his contribution here.

startup weekend Chicago.

Startup Weekend is coming to Chicago June 25-27. Speaking from experience,
it's kind of awesome — be there!

Startup Weekend recruits a highly motivated group of developers,
business managers, startup enthusiasts, marketing gurus, graphic
artists and more to a 54 hour event that builds communities,
companies and projects.

Foodie Registry launches!

I'm not even a foodie, but let's face it, by the time I get married, I won't be needing most of the traditional wedding presents. Foodie Registry offers a way for couples to ask for local dining experiences, instead of more household items. The list of participating restaurants is growing and I'm excited to watch them take off!

And yes, I designed their logo :)

A modern, pop-up flea market (in Chicago).

Mark your calendars for February 27, Chicago! The Vintage Bazaar hits Lincoln Square and I'll be there. 

Over 40 vintage vendors selling affordable one-of-a-kind housewares, furniture, clothing and accessories.

And it's free!
