If you are in Chicago and would like to make a yard sign as part of my electoral-season art project Visions for Chicago check out http://visionsforchicago.wordpress.com/ and get in touch.
And as usual if you wanna know more current updates check my blog/personal site at https://miscprojects.com/ and if you wanna organize an event with me soon do so in the spring or summer because after that I will be staying pretty local for a few years as I pursue some further education…
Happy fall!
in cahoots,
Daniel
