Read more "Cloud Gate"Check out this crazy cool mural by artist Tim Parker! It is filled to the brim with an assortment of pop culture references and this is only a small fraction of the entire mural.

Today I’d like to share Lionel’s story… He knew he should shrug it off and continue on his merry way, but he just couldn’t let it go. It was a matter of principle! The inhabitants of this minuscule, insignificant […]
