Chicago Shine: Gregory Jacobsen
Its always nice to see some local Chicago talent getting a little shine! Yesterday I was pleasantly surprised to see the work of Gregory Jacobsen featured in the new issue of Hi Fructose. It seems they chose to run some of his tamer paintings but his work still comes across! So check out the issue or grab Gregory’s show catalog/zine from us before they go for big bucks on ebay.
A fine example of his work!
