That would be nice and tidy--but on what planet do things always work like that? Not a local? He sure seems local to me. Does he hail from this neighborhood? I don't care. I think the chosen artist has done amazing work in the past. And I know that creating murals is not a lucrative job (unless you're an art star), it involves a lot of very hard physical labor, and your creation can't and won't please everyone. In fact in this neighborhood, you can be assured that people will bitch endlessly at your work.: So, if there are hoards of qualified Rogers Park mural painters out there with work of his caliber that were clamoring for the opportunity and were unfairly denied because of their selection process, let them come forward and use their own voice.""
