Sometimes with the Art world I am not sure if I should be laughing with joy or crying. But I am heading to Miami tomorrow to think about it for a bit at Art Basel Miami which has become Art Week Miami. And I have my ticket to Yacht Basel so I can see Lefty Out There’s The Art of the Cheetle: a work in Cheetos dust. Also curious to see what Jeffrey Deitch is doing at Design Miami and check in with some of my favorite artists like Abelardo Morell. PM me if there is something you are looking for.#cheetos #designmiami #designmiamibasel #abelardomorell #edwynnhoukgallery #leftyoutthere #jeffreydeitch #jeffreydeitchgallery https://www.instagram.com/p/CW6U622pIBJ/?utm_medium=tumblr

6 Chicago artists are giving Bulls fans the NBA’s most inspired giveaway

The Chicago Bulls’ second artist hat series shows how to do an arena giveaway absolutely right.

Watching live sports inside an arena is a special experience. It’s an opportunity to see world-class athletes in person; to be immersed in an energetic atmosphere among thousands of fans. And, perhaps, a chance to get a free promotional item as part of the deal.

Last season, the Chicago Bulls took arena giveaways to the next level with their first Chicago Artist Hat Series. The team enlisted six artists to each design their own limited-edition hat, riffing on the Bulls logo.

They were more elaborate than simple snapbacks featuring the classic bull head logo and colors. From the front graphic, to the colors and materials used, down to the patterns on the underside of the brim, artists were given the creative freedom to do what they wanted. And the only way to get one of the hats was to be one of the first 10,000 fans in attendance at select games.

“That feeling never changes, when I see someone who got my design and enjoying it and wearing it, or really just admiring it.” —Louis De Guzman, Chicago visual artist

The hats let fans not only show off their connection to the Bulls, but also to Chicago, thanks to the artistic ways the creators incorporated their visions of the city into their work. They were an example of a giveaway at its best — a gift that signified more than the fact that you happened to be at a game on a specific date.

This season, the Bulls kicked off their second Chicago Artist Hat Series in December, with six new artists and six new hats, which will run until the sixth giveaway in late March.

Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff, a local designer and printmaker, was tasked with curating artists for the series. He owns All Star Press, a sports art gallery located in Chicago’s Logan Square. Last season, he worked with the Bulls on their game poster series, but this season is the first time he has been involved with the hats.

“I basically picked out five other artists — six, including myself — who I thought would represent the Bulls well, represent Chicago well, and also bring a different style, a different vibe to the series while still being pretty coherent as a whole,” Tasseff-Elenkoff says.

Introducing year two of some of the best in-stadium giveaways ever! Which one’s your favorite? We’re proud to partner with six talented Chicago-based artists to design these awesome hats. Schedule: DEC 7 - @louisdeguzman DEC 21 - @chemaskandal JAN 19 - @kate.lynn.lewis FEB 9 - @lauren_asta MAR 8 - @allstarpresschicago MAR 27 - @leftyOUTthere

Tasseff-Elenkoff has experience with hats, having designed the ones that he sells at his gallery. But designing a hat, a three-dimensional object, is different than creating art on a two-dimensional canvas. The different parts of a hat, the materials, the embroidery, and more, must all be taken into consideration. He kept this difference in mind when choosing the rest of the artists.

“Most of the people I chose are also muralists, or painters and designers,” Tasseff-Elenkoff says. “So they have experience with painting or illustrating or designing in a non-2-D format, which I think definitely helps with something like this.”

Louis De Guzman was the first artist featured in the series this season. A visual artist and designer based in Chicago, he has worked for brands like Air Jordan, Converse, Gatorade, Red Bull, Nike, and the NBA. His hat was the giveaway at the Bulls game on Dec. 7.

De Guzman was born and raised in the Chicago area and grew up a Bulls fan, which made this project “a childhood dream come true.” He said he had always wanted to pursue art and work with the Bulls.

“In the ‘90s, there was this snapback hat that would be classic Chicago Bulls: black crown, red brand, green underbill,” De Guzman says. “It was such a ‘90s organic style, and I was like, ‘Alright, cool. This is what I remember [Michael] Jordan and Scottie Pippen and them would wear when they would win championships and do interviews.’

“That’s when Bulls gear was the hottest thing to get,” De Guzman adds. “I was really happy to bring that back and have nostalgia in true storytelling, from me and my experience as a child with the Bulls, to bring it to life in my career.”

Honored to share my official collaboration with the @chicagobulls on a headwear piece that will be gifted to the first 10,000 fans that walk into the stadium against the OKC Thunder this Friday // Designed and crafted to pay homage to the golden era, this piece takes note from nostalgia with a suede brim, suede button top and green underbill with tonal art // Couldn’t have done this without the team, the support from the Bulls Organization and the city of Chicago

A post shared by Louis De Guzman (@louisdeguzman) on Dec 4, 2018 at 9:04am PST

De Guzman’s parents emigrated from the Philippines in 1986, and his family would celebrate American culture with basketball. His aunts and uncles would have parties for the Bulls’ championships and other basketball games.

When De Guzman was at the game for his hat giveaway, he shared the experience with his family, describing it as being “everything (he) imagined and more.”

“That feeling never changes, when I see someone who got my design and enjoying it and wearing it, or really just admiring it,” De Guzman says. “For that moment, growing up a big basketball fan and a Bulls fan, just to walk into the stadium — to see the picture, and the video, and the walls, and my name — and for my family to be there, all that was very humbling.”

When it came to developing the design, De Guzman said the Bulls gave him “free range to (his) creativity,” allowing him to maintain his “geometric abstraction” style.

For Kate Lewis, an illustrator and muralist based in Chicago and Miami, she found the freedom to be “almost confounding.” Not only does she rarely get opportunities like the Bulls presented, but the Bulls are also already an iconic worldwide brand.

“I work with a lot of corporate clients who usually will say, ‘We want you to use this color palette. We want you to use this theme,’” Lewis says. “With the Bulls one … they were like, ‘It’s not about what we want. It’s about what you want. You’re the artist. Express yourself. Be you.’”

The hat Lewis designed was given away on Jan. 19 when the Bulls faced the Miami Heat. Her love of architecture inspired the geometric bull’s head logo and typographic elements of the design, but the color palette was inspired by her pride for the Windy City.

“You go to the Renegade Craft Fair (in Chicago) and the art show, and there’s a lot of Chicago flags, Chicago colors, Chicago stars on everything,” Lewis says. “When I think about the big cities and who has a lot of pride ― like I can’t even think of what a New York (City) flag looks like or San Francisco or Miami. But Chicago, everyone knows the Chicago flag, so it is in and of itself a proud city. We’re all just living there, representing it.”

When it came to the more technical aspects of the hat, Lewis worked with Jon Shoemaker, the Bulls’ director of creative services. Prior to the process, she hadn’t realized just how much there was to consider when designing a hat. But with Shoemaker’s help, she came up with the idea to have different threaded sections of the bull’s head logo be raised and lowered, giving it dimensions.

“With the Bulls … they were like, ‘It’s not about what we want. It’s about what you want. You’re the artist. Express yourself.’” —Kate Lewis, Chicago illustrator and muralist

Unlike De Guzman, Lewis didn’t grow up a Bulls fan and doesn’t consider herself a sports person. The first sports work she did was for Tasseff-Elenkoff, who commissioned her to do six drawings of sports stadiums, including the Bulls’ United Center, for All Star Press. To create a hat design from scratch, Lewis consulted the sports people she knew to figure out what they liked in terms of design.

“It was kind of merging two worlds, and that was fun,” Lewis says. “I did surprise myself to find that I was pretty on par with what these ‘sports people’ tend to like, because in my head, I’m like, ‘There’s them, and there’s me. There’s artists, and then there’s the sports people.’ This was a nice way to realize we’re pretty much all on the same page.”

Lewis is used to seeing her artwork displayed in public. But getting to see thousands of people wearing something see designed is another level of excitement and disbelief.

“I think the real moment that it sinks in will be once I’m at the game, and I’m surrounded by 10,000 people at a 360-degree angle, wearing something I design,” Lewis says (we spoke before her hat debuted). “Like right now, I’ve had the experience of walking into Revolution Taproom and seeing one of my prints framed on the wall. I’m like, ‘Oh, my God. I can’t believe this!’ I’m overwhelmed.

”So I don’t have an experience personally tethered to what it might feel like to be surrounded by 10,000 of those moments all at the same time. I’m just hoping I don’t faint.”
