UP & COMING (2 piece set)

Two rejected entries for the "Up Your Uptown…Today!" contest in which a new logo for Chicago's slowest growing neighborhood, Uptown, was chosen. While most entries were submitted by grade school students, this one in particular was designed and painted by a half-man, half-jaguar named Gary. Taken from Gary's application: "The painting has many symbols, but a few noteworthy are as follows: The red stains represent the courage of the Uptown community, the circles represent the stoplights that pedestrians ignore and the wood grain represents the 42" maple cabinet doors that are slamming shut on the indigenous indigent of Uptown. Furthermore, rooooooaar."
