Short Stuff









Wicker Park still has it's gems. The Silver Room helped spawn Shorty's. A unique baby and childrens store, owned and operated by Doug, who used to do piercings at Silver Room. He did my cousin and sister!

He happens to know many hot artist in the immediate area. He helped fill the Pritzker mural project and he just has the dopest baby Hip-Hop gear around. Dare I say the only...He seems to have found a way tp bridge the gap for our generation having kids. Thank goodness we don't have to dress our babies in the same traditional lame gear like every generation before us.

Ther are other very prominent and functional baby stores around, but none as cool. Even his art is groovy. I can spend a good portion of my paycheck here and not feel bad.

Wearable Art









Art and fashion have been linked since either once existed. It is an eternal bond that cannot be dissolved no matter how many Dockers or Archie Comics get sold.
To try and separate them is about as practical as Terry Bradshaw and Charles Barkley collaborating on an Operatic production of Verdi's works. (It aint happening.)

Students from Richmond, Va participated in an annual galla to promote the 1708 Gallery called Wearable Art. The unique aspect of this show is that the pieces are 100% original and made to be singular and unique. The work is breath taking and vibrant. VCU students won several titles for the images I am showing. I will posting more shots as soon as I can calm myself. One of these designers must be kindred. They really get my goat. (in a good way)
