Hey ya'll,

Sorry about last week, I know it was the big opening weekend. I made maps, all of which were published over at Chicago Art Magazine, hope you managed to find the there. This weekend is helter skelter as well, no links or neighborhood designation. I'll be back in the swing next week, but for this week, at least you have the list. Lots of love, I'm going to Ohio to shoot (both kinds) this weekend, so I'll be out, but enjoy the art!
