chicago artists are "one of a kind"

I went to support our local art scene at this killer art holiday show (& sale) last night- you have to go!  It’s still going on for the next 3 days on the 8th floor of the Merchandise Mart & it’s rightfully called “one of a kind!”  I actually was so excited I flipped my handcam on and rapped w/2 of my fav artists in the city that happened to be there! Check it out above, sorry if so random, but was off the cuff… (although from what I hear, a lot of you prefer it that way?)

Speaking of the two artists in the video, I have actually been collecting dolan’s art work for 7ish years, and had him design the backbars at both rockit locations!  You should definitely see him there, as he says in video, mention me and he will hook you up… his site is www.dolangeiman.com  — also check out sarah who you will see, she is a major talent, and does huge philanthropic work for Chicagoans in need… say hi to her there, or check her at  www.sarahraskey.com. 

The real beauty of the show is that all 500ish artists are present for all 4 days to show their skills – unlike galleries or traditional retails, so you can physically meet the person whose creativity and craftsmanship inspires you… and take that art home!  Btw, its really affordable, and I think the best gifts ever for the holidays because becomes way more personal, not to mention supportive and beautiful…  I think you need to go to it so bad, that I have your tickets… click HERE for more info and for your complimentary pass… use code “ECPFriend.”   Enjoy!
