Chicago is full of all kinds of people. I have a (poorly developed) theory that moving into increased diversity makes you own your identity with more awareness. This, combined with the fact that natives of the lower-Midwest are fiercely proud of their respective home states*, makes me very excited to see the fruit of 50 and 50: The State Mottos. A designer from each of the 50 states will be illustrating their state motto...awesome, right?
"Fifty and Fifty is a curated project which attempts to construct a handsome new way of looking at our country. Fifty designers, one per state, will illustrate their state motto, creating something steeped in history but completely modern and unique: a kind of designer's atlas."

The project is still progress, but you can bet your butt I'll be checking back and cheering for Kansan (and fellow Wichitan) Luke Bott
*I could drop all kinds of Kansas knowledge right here, but I'll refrain. Check back on Kansas Day: January 29.
