You're going to find yourself saying... "Ohh I need that one... Wait, no I need that one!!" Seriously, every single piece is top notch and we would never present you with anything less! This is ONE OF TWO amazing originals from @funbeerd... 💀 💀 💀 .

This is it, friends!! The final day to see @antckone's solo show RETROSPECT in full. It's impossible to have a conversation about graffiti and public art in Chicago without a full chapter dedicated to this man and his talents. He is relentless in his pursuit to be a full time artist, dedicated in his practice - often pushing himself to paint via daily, weekly and monthly challenges, meticulous in his planning and application...
.
.
It is an honor to be trusted with and to showcase his work and legacy. Thank you Anthony!! And, thank you to all of you who supported us and still managed to add pieces to your collections in this crazy time where you weren't able to even see the work in person!!! 😭😭😭 We will be open tomorrow but pickups will have begun so it's quite possible some pieces may be missing! Get in here today 12-7 for a complete viewing!

Getting decent pictures of pieces framed under glass can be tricky...! But, lucky for us, @antckone's art outshines our mediocre photography skills. "Stealing Hearts Process Study" is one of the few originals remaining from his solo show RETROSPECT - - available now online and In store. Plus... You don't have to wait 5 weeks to pick it up! CURBSIDE and instore pickups for this show, plus nationwide shipping begins SATURDAY
