You can’t help but love Moose Bubblegum Bubble, a photo mural created by former Columbia College student Jacob Watts, one of the winners in the 2014 Columbia College Chicago’s Wabash Arts Corridor Campus competition. It’s a must-see work, emblazoned in red, white, and blue, with clear nods to advertising, pop, and comic-book culture - an ASVP trademark. The duo’s mural, Make Your Own Luck, was created as part of Vertical Gallery’s The Power of Paint series, which focused on the idea of using art to help others. Michigan Ave.ĪSVP is a Brooklyn-based printmaking and street art studio founded by artists Simon Grendene and Victor Anselmi. Van der Sluijs’ work, which tends to focus on “personal pleasures and struggles in daily life,” has been exhibited throughout Europe and in the United States. The yellow-headed blackbird depicted was once common in Chicago, but has since disappeared, while the red-headed woodpecker is in danger of meeting the same fate. At its heart, the work conveys triumph over adversity, and, ultimately, hope. This powerful jewel-toned mural by Dutch artist Collin van der Sluijis depicts two indigenous Illinois birds against larger-than-life blooms.
