Anne Illustrates Roscoe Village...
Here is a peek at the recent Neighborhood Direct Coupon Book cover that I designed...they went out to 10,000 residents in the area.The image is an extended version (horizontally) of the street banner designs I created for Roscoe Village...stay tuned to see them as they are hoisted to the street poles of the neighborhood later this summer and fall!
If you mention it, I will honor this coupon for 20% off any original painting or print in my studio through the expiration date of July 30th!

Tandem Trip #2 of 2010
On Sunday we took our 2nd tandem ride of 2010, almost 30 miles round trip, from our house to the Museum of Science & Industry and back (so I could check out the storm exhibit...I am intrigued by weather!) It was a great ride south, I never get tired of looking at the glorious blue green color of Lake Michigan...this is all a little easier now thanks to the 3 speed hub Rich outfitted our 1970's vintage Schwinn Twinn Tandem with for our inaugural ride on Easter Sunday. We did 25 miles from under the I-90 bridge at the Fox River through Elgin down to St. Charles and back...the wind blew us all the way back which of course we planned (and I needed, as I was still recovering from my freaky cold).
The photo above shows the false horizon I kept seeing...you cannot see Michigan from Chicago but it looks like it here! And below, our fair city from the south shore:

Art on Tap...
I'm loving the brick walls at The Village Tap, where I hung several paintings last week...my works contrast well with the casual urban vibe of this popular Roscoe Village pub known as "Chicago's Premiere Neighborhood Tavern & Beer Garden". My show will be up through May...so stop by to have a drink (over 26 beers on tap!), enjoy some of their fabulous food and the art (all works are available for sale)...and hey, why not swing by my studio on the way, if I'm here I just might join you!
