About the Artist
Born in Portland, Oregon, Jesse LeDoux worked for many years as an art director for Seattle-based Sub Pop Records where he created iconic album and poster artwork for such artists as the Shins ('Best album packaging' Grammy nominee for Chutes Too Narrow), Iron and Wine and Death Cab for Cutie before leaving in 2004 to focus on his client-based and personal work at LeDouxville.
Parallel to working on commercial illustration and collaborative projects for such clients as Nike, Disney, Giro, Penguin UK, Rome Snowboards and Target, he has exhibited internationally. His work was included in the Cooper Hewitt Design Triennial (2007), an installation at the University of Maryland (2008), and has work in the permanent collection of the Experience Music Project (Seattle, WA), Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (Cleveland, OH), and 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art (Kanazawa, Japan). He currently lives and works in Seattle, WA.

Visitors From Another World
New Works by Three Chicago Artists
Ben Stevens, Tony Rabit and Will Rimel
June 2-July 2, 2017
BYOB Opening Reception, Friday, June 2, 7-10pm
We're kicking off our summer exhibit schedule with something near and dear to us...Chicago artists! We'll be featuring three of them in our newest exhibit opening on Friday, June 2nd.
Ben Stevens first caught our attention via his eye-catching instagram posts and animations and now we're hooked on his super detailed otherworldly character paintings. Amazing plant, flower and skeletal creatures that somehow manage to be both creepy and adorable...yes, please.
Tony Rabit is a name that's probably a little more familiar to our guests having previously exhibited his amazingly Cute with a capital C works in our gallery twice before! We're excited to have Tony back with a new series of digital works on paper based on imaginary whimsical structures.
Will Rimel is a relatively recent transplant to the Chicago area, but very well known to us as he also serves as the Rotofugi Gallery Assistant. That said, no nepotism here, Will's an amazing sculptor and toy customizer and will surely bring a powerful funky vibe to the exhibit! Check out his super custom Luna in our most recent exhibit to get a feel for his wonderful style.
Join us for the BYOB opening reception, Friday, June 2, 7-10pm for snacks and music by DJ Sean Doe. All three artists will be in attendance.
Sales for this exhibit begin when we open at 11am on opening day, and via email to our previews list starting at 2pm (central time) that afternoon (sign up here).
The exhibit continues through July 2.

Our Chicago store will be temporarily closed for remodeling starting Monday, May 1, 2017.
We’re making some changes to our layout, removing some shelving, and adding some new stuff, including starting work on our new dedicated event space that will be available for private parties, community events and more when we’re finished.
We will re-open on Friday, May 5 at 7pm for the opening reception of new exhibits by Michael Slack and the Luna Custom Show. If we are able to re-open sooner we’ll let you know!
