Project By
Connected as Ray Noland
Mr. CRO is a Chicago-based artist and designer who creates social & political satire. My work is simply about visually documenting and recording pop, social and political issues of my time. I embrace the hand of the artist and technology. In my work, I comment on the American dream and the subsequent gap between it and reality. My work addresses racial identity, pop culture, politics and at times alludes to underlying social behaviors historical and current which continue to shape American society. I’m trying to engage in social and political discourse in a humorous way. Often times these themes are combined into work reflecting heros and/or villains of our society. Like a vessel, I constantly receive stimuli from the environment which becomes part of my work. I present the viewer with a mirror reflection of the world. My social commentary weds graphic form with brazen content. The result is at times stark and brash and at others photographic and honest.
Awesome. As a fellow Chicagoan I'm totally psyched to see this project hit its goal.
Looking forward to the show, meeting some of you, and of course, the goods! :)
YES!! You reached your goal in time! Well done. Now you can Run, Blago, Run!
someone needs to drop a $1000 bomb in the next 8 hours...

Ray, I would love to interview you for my arts and culture site, What to Wear During an Orange Alert. This is a great project and you have added a some of my favs to the line-up. I am hoping to help spread the word. If you are interested e-mail me: orangealert31@gmail.com

rockit. Keep doing what you do.
HA! Awesome project Ray. Can't wait to see who you'll get to participate in the show. It's a sad sad shame this dude brought the kind of attention he has to Chicago. But glad to see something positive coming from it in the form of art.
