SHAKE SHOP PORTRAIT EXTRAVAGANZA

A couple weekends ago, Tom from Shake Shop was kind enough to let me set up a pop-up portrait studio in the front room of his Logan Square guitar repair shop.  My good pal Todd Klebenow is mostly responsible for that fantastical sunset and mushroom painting. The curtains were provided by my windows at home!  Lot’s of friends stopped by and a handful of curious strangers poked their heads in to have their photo taken.  It was a success and more of these scenic studios will be popping up around the city in the near future.  So be on the lookout!

 

 

 





SPITTING MACHINES

Mark Porter recently had an installation of his newest kinetic sculptures at The Mission Gallery on Chicago Ave. As I walked down the basement steps of the gallery, a motion sensor woke the machines up and they immediately started shaking, rattling and spitting up reddish hues of foamy stuff all over the place. Go to Mark’s website to find out when you can see some of these things in person.

My dream of touring the factory of the last pinball giant has finally been fulfilled.  I got to roam the Melrose Park facility and test out their new AC/DC pinball machine.  A handful of the photos that I snapped ran alongside a feature article that Miles Raymer wrote for The Chicago Reader.  Check it out here!
