Chicago’s mural culture is known across the states, and the city never fails to involve local artists in large projects, like the recently opened Color Factory<\/a>. Well, if you haven’t noticed, there have been some incredible mural revelations, one of the being the window paintings at Pinstripes (435 E Illinois St, Chicago, IL 60611), titled “Chicago Looks Good On You.”<\/p>\n

These large-scale portraits of fictional individuals literally wear Chicago icons such as the Buckingham Fountain, the Centennial Wheel at Navy Pier and Cloud Gate (the Bean), providing a fun and engaging way to learn about Chicago’s landmarks, while prompting the community to rethink about the relationship between an ordinary Chicagoan and the city’s culture. Today, we are fortunate enough to bring Chicago-based artist Paul Brourman, the creator behind “Chicago Looks Good On You” for an exclusive interview on the thoughts and process behind this new project.<\/p>\n
