Step Inside A Former Pilsen Funeral Home Where Tan Loose Press Is Keeping The 80S Alive

• Andrea Bauer

Prints from other Risograph presses from around the world, like Risotto Press in Glascow and Ditto Press in London, hang on the walls. Jerry Seinfeld’s face, blown up and dotted in a half-tone pattern, appears in various spots throughout the pad. The prints are remnants from Hickson’s idea for a Seinfeld-inspired zine. (“It was gonna be called Zinefeld,” he says.) Two hand-printed banners, emblazoned with Hickson’s own illustrations, hang from a living-room wall. They were originally created for “Tan Lines,” an annual group show for which Hickson invites artists and illustrators to create limited-edition prints with Tan & Loose. This year’s show, “Tan Lines 3,” will be on April 17 at Solid State Vintage (1710 S. Ashland).
