Part of a set of three still-life paintings documenting late 1980s ephemera collected by my parents during the time they lived in Chicago and hung out on the north side. This piece features an authentic restaurant menu from Cas & Lou, matchbooks from iconic Chicago bars, a "Pool is Cool" pin, and a pool chalk and scuffer from that same era.
