A Work of Heart

Hello World! Eunice here...half the genius behind knockbox_blog (although Kristen deserves most of the credit)

We figured it was best to jump right on in so here we go!

The past couple weeks have been eventful due to the holiday season, so it's been awesome meeting up with old and new faces. Last night I attended an art exhibition of an old friend from college.

I met Andrew our freshman year at UIC and today he is killing it all over Chicago with his incredible pieces. And when I say all over, I mean ALL over. Just google him.

Andrew and I last night

His artwork speaks for itself:

By far my favorite of the night. This is actually only the left side of the entire piece. 

From this angle you can see both sides and the size of the work

This is so different from the usual colorful pieces Andrew does, but just shows the versatility he brings to his art

So good right?? and I know what you're all thinking....wouldn't this translate so well in tattoos? Well my friends, you're in luck.

Andrew also works at Awaken Tattoo in Humboldt Park where he recently started tattooing and has a ton of his artwork on display. We stopped by the shop for the after party and the place is very spacious and inviting. (The couch in the waiting area was uber luxurious)

The night was super chill with everyone in good spirits with the help from the live band (who I unfortunately didn't catch the name of)

The guy on the right is wearing suspenders!! Super cute.

And sorry ladies...Andrew is taken by one of the baddest girls around, Roro (just kidding she's like God's greatest gift on earth)

Look at these cuties. Rosanna and Andrew have been dating for like...20 years.

All in all, such a great night getting to spend time with old friends....and we seriously are old now, After getting home at 2AM I don't know how we used to stay out till daylight to get breakfast the next morning. 

Until next time!

Everyone stay tuned for our next post from Kristen!
