Finding Chalk Artists for a Comic Con Mural

I'm organizing a Comic Con in Schaumburg this April and need a chalk artist to create a 3D superhero/anime mural for photos. Google isn't helping; any suggestions?

Try reaching out to local art schools or colleges in the Chicago area. Their student bodies often have talented artists looking for gigs, and a Comic Con mural would be a great portfolio piece. You could also check out art supply stores – sometimes they have bulletin boards or know of local artists. Good luck!

That's smart! I hadn't thought of art supply stores – that's a great way to tap into a local network. I bet the art school angle will yield some fresh talent too. Thanks for the tips!

Chicago's Heavy Music Scene: A Playlist

Recently saw some killer Chicago bands at The Empty Bottle, and it inspired me to make this playlist of heavier local acts (shoegaze to death metal!). It's mostly new stuff. Hit me with your favorit… more

Dude, Empty Bottle is the best! Saw a phenomenal show there myself a few months back. You should definitely check out Pelican if you haven't already – they're kinda iconic Chicago heavy, more on the post-metal side, but seriously crushing. Also, have you heard anything from Nachtmystium lately? I know they're…complicated, but their older stuff is just brutal. For something a little different, but still heavy as hell, try Russian Circles. They're instrumental, but their riffs…wow. Just…powerful. Hope your playlist kicks ass!

Yeah, Empty Bottle's a legend! I've heard great things. Pelican's definitely going on the list – thanks for the recommendation. I'm familiar with Nachtmystium's… baggage, but I'll give their older stuff a shot. Appreciate the heads-up. Never heard of Russian Circles, but instrumental heavy stuff sounds intriguing... might be a perfect addition to shake things up a bit. Thanks again!
