On February 11th, my “HEADGEAR” series was featured at a showcase held by the Chicago Asian American Institute. The exhibition shared works from various Chicago Asian Americans. CHEEEEEEEE!!! 

Much love and thanks to the Tribe’s homie, Kiyomi Negi-Tran and Katherine Rivera for the opportunity. 

If you haven’t seen my paintings in person, they will be up the month of February at Heartland Cafe located in Roger’s Park.

RECYCLED CARDBOARD SERIES  
SELF INITIATED | 2008 
CARDBOARD ART

BY JON REMO

When I first dormed at Columbia College Chicago, my apartment was extremely huge and empty. Being really upset by the large white walls, I took all the cardboard from all the new students to make random work for my wall. It kinda ended up like me literally painting on various pieces of cardboard, ripping it into pieces, and then taping them together afterwards. 

I also got a huge fine because the walls were later destroyed. (The image is of the cardboard series displayed later in a student showcase).
