Goodness, I miss the madness of the yearly Red Moon/Jellyeye Halloween show in Logan Square. Not sure when I took these. I’m guessing the early 2000s.

Eyeful

Monday, September 27, 2010

I can’t believe it took me this long to see the damn thing. Kindly hipster strangers took the picture for me, though I have to wonder why composition is so hard for some folks (the eye is cut off on top). I mimed “turn it on its side” to them, but they didn’t get it. […]

Art of the School Institute

Thursday, May 27, 2010

If you’re ever bored at the Chicago Art Institute, you’re probably walking around with your eyes closed. I visit the museum at least twice a month (it’s down the street from work). Predictably, I usually visit Joseph Cornell’s boxes on the third floor of the new(ish) wing. Frankly, I don’t really like what they’ve done […]
