MartinJon: Born and raised in Chicago I am a classic proud Chicagoan. As an artist I am trying to get new ideas all the time by talking to people and collaborating with others. My Portrait Project has brought me and my work into the homes of hundreds of Chicagoans. ChicagoArts has brought art from Chicago to people all over. I can’t stand complaining, it is to easy to do here. The weather can suck so suck it up, the politics is a machine so get out of the way. If you are “part of the solution” you are the problem. I know why gentrification sucks and I am aware that for some areas of the city it is the best thing since sliced bread, so stop asking me about what I think of it. Life is good, people are fair, nonprofits are beggars with an education, these are some ideas I hold. I also cling to change, I, like everyone don't want to be proven wrong but I am open to being proved not right. As I get older I notice myself excepting less and less as fact. The world is a sticky place and for christ's sake watch where you step.
