A Duo Show from two of your FAVORITE Chicago Street Artists!!
Best known for their lovable yet eerie creatures, Mac BlackOut and JunkYard are two prolific artists making waves in the Chicago art scene.
Mac Blackout has a catalogue full of cartoon style characters with bright colors and loud “punk rock” features while JunkYard prefers to work in black and white. His characters exude a tender hearted macabre creepiness reminiscent of the 1929 Disney classic, “The Skeleton Dance”.
The juxtaposition of Mac’s bright colors with Junk Yard’s black n white stylings combined with their similar approach to illustrative character based work allows for an interesting and creatively diverse show. Expect to see original individual works, a number of collaborative pieces, mixed media pieces including cans, boomboxes and more…!
And of course, two 6’ X 12’ IN STORE MURALS!!
