Remember how Sufjan Stevens was gonna do an album for every state? I think he’s done like two in six years. C’mon man.
Illustrator, writer, and designer, Frank Chimero, has been turning the silhouettes of our 50 states into animals and other stuff for only a year. He’s already done 17. Take that, Sufjan.
See all of Chris’ states here. Or snag prints here.
