Gift Guide 3: Chicago-made prints

Since I normally spend most of my waking hours looking at, thinking about, and handling prints, I thought I'd give a little run-down on some of the coolest giftable prints that are out in Chicago right now. Here is a selection of my favorites, in no particular order.

(Disclosure: I am friends with some of these artists, but I made these choices on my own, and this gift guide aims to be bias-free!)
