Pre-order the Impossible Octophant
If you've strolled along Michigan Avenue past the Van Buren Metra station, you may have noticed a poster for an unusual creature: the Octophant, a wondrous creation of Phineas Jones, artist, printer and Gapers Block's house illustrator. The faux Century of Progress poster was commissioned by the City, and has baffled tourists and locals alike.
And now, you can take it home.
Jones has set up an IndieGoGo page for pre-orders of a special limited edition of the poster. The 20"x18.5" silkscreen print will be at least 10 screens, he says, making its $45 pre-order price a ridiculous bargain. Get yours today, before it's too late.
