Welcome to Chicago Design Factory home page were we document our exhibitions and inform of what the kids at the factory are up to next.
Levi's
October '07
Levi's commissioned CDF to decorate a pair of 501 jeans and a jacket to be part of a benefit to help the Around the Coyote organization. Inspired by Napoleonic Heraldry our design incorporates bee's laid out in a pattern form.  The mannikin also adorns a CDF bicycle tee shirt.

A couple shots from Glenwood Arts Fest.
At the Glenwood Arts Fest, Chicago Design Factory teamed up artist's Darren Oberto, Ross Martens, Ben Pegram, and Ryan Sale to constitute the Alley Gallery Collective. Showing tee shirts, photographs, paintings, and serigraphs the Collective attracted lots of attention and made many friends. A sunny day helped bring out many people making the show lots of fun for everyone. The Collective will definitely be back next year. Photos courtesy of Ross Martens.
