I'm trying out a new offering: custom building illustrations. There are limited spots open now, but more may open up depending on demand. Have you ever wanted an illustration of a particular building? Your home, a favorite building, a place you used to love when you were younger...now's your chance.

You should check out Jim's epic bike ride (please stay hydrated!!!), including his shot of the beautiful Sterling Daily Gazette building (1935, Gilbert A. Johnson)!

Sketch of a two-story Art Deco office building. Sleek pilasters alternate with windows, elaborate arched entrance in center, below ziggurat roof. Base of roof reads STERLING DAILY GAZETTE.

Biking Chicago → Iowa → back. Day 2/5, Segment 2/2: Ashton to Morrrison. #cycling #chicago Nothing like rolling into camp with a feels like of 110 🫠 Made it through the night, though, and got a good shower in. Met some friendly campers at the Morrison Rockwood State Park Campgrounds

Sterling Illinois. It's hot. I'm leaned up next to a tax prep office with enough awning to give me respite from the sun. My legs protrude into the scene, looking collapsed, and shoes splayed wide. In front of us is an asphalt parking lot and then a street with a gray SUV passing. More strip malls are positioned across the street.

Headstone for Eugene Williams, whose murder was the first in a wave of racialized violence in Chicago in the summer of 1919. 102 years after his death, a group of people determined to see him remembered & honored were successful in getting his grave marked.

Color photo taken in Lincoln Cemetery in Blue Island of the grave marker placed for Eugene Williams, a child who accidentally floated over an invisible border at a segregated Chicago beach and was murdered for it, touching off days of racialized violence in 1919. The marker is extremely shiny in this shot and has a lot of difficult to transcribe text, but the dates alone remind us of just how young he was at the time of his death: EUGENE WILLIAMS MARCH 10, 1902 - JULY 27, 1919

299 Queen Street West: built in 1913-15 for the Methodist Book and Publishing Company, this was originally a factory and office combo. “Garbed in Gothic fervour” according to McHugh and Bozikovic. The steel framed building was designed by Burke, Horwood & White.

A five storey building on a corner plot. The building as elaborate pale brown/yellow terracotta cladding. The cladding is highly decorative.The entrance to the building with a gothic church feel to it, reflecting its original religious association. The front door is under a wide Gothic arch.
