Since the 18th century, the industrial revolution industry has created a way of life that harms nature, from deforestation to air pollution. Many political advocacy groups, like the Environmental Defense Fund, have taken action to reduce industrial growth, while others have decided to let their voice be heard in a different way.
North Carolina based contemporary artist Brian Mashburn uses his artwork to express his feelings about the matter. Mashburn is known for his hyperrealistic oil paintings, which typically depict a post-apocalyptic world, in which animals habitats are encroached upon by human activity, and human beings are few in numbers. At first glance, his pieces portray beautiful scenes of nature, but the meaning behind his work runs a little deeper. The artist showcases the beauty of the environment by including animals and outdoor scenery in his paintings. He then brings you back to reality by displaying the negative effects of urbanization, while maintaining the fact that nature and industrial urban areas coexist. Though they exist in the same space, they appear to be on different scales.
Chicago has been synonymous with gun violence for a very long time. The stories you hear about the Windy City have always been told by outsiders, though. You know, the people who've never hung out at the 31st street beach during summertime time Chi, or the people who don’t know that there's a difference in the mild sauce you get from Harold's, and Uncle Remus opposed to anywhere else.
The negative imagery that surrounds the city is depressing and scary, but that's because it's being told by people who aren't from Chicago. Emmy Award-winning writer and Chicago's very own, Lena Waithe, has fought tooth and nail to bring a more humane depiction of the city we Chicagoans love so much, with her drama series "The Chi.”
Composed of outerwear for women, men and kids the Carhartt brand has been dominating the retail industry for almost 130 years. They carry something for everyone, including accessories like wallets, gloves, safety glasses, caps and knit hats with many colors to choose from. They even carry dog beds. With very affordable options, there’s no way a shopper wouldn’t be able to find something they like.
Established in 1889 Carhartt has been able to make a name for themselves. In 1910, Carhartt was able to expand to multiple cities in the United States as well as Canada and Europe. Because Carhartt supported the war during international conflict, several facilities were able to create uniforms for the U.S. military during World War I. Coveralls for soldiers and support personnel were produced along with jungle suits for Marines in the Pacific and workwear for women on the home front entering factories, during World War II.
