I was born and raised in and out of Chicago. My heart thrives on my music, my art work, and working to become successful and live a long happy life. Stay up.Chicago based independent art publisher Front Forty Press released four significant titles this year, Sonneteer, Graffitecture, Matt Volla's Unruly Drawings, and Short Stories Illustrated by Artists.These books were created via a unique process that brings individuals together in 'blind collaboration', thus enabling diverse participation in an uninhibited way. There is a high degree of trust and freedom within the formally defined parameters for each project. All Front Forty Press' stunning artistic and sociological topics are always about the cultivation and communication of ideas.
