Many of you have seen the slow evolution of my Illinois flag design over the past few years, and I'm back with something a bit different! The basic premise is the same: the sun rises over Lake Michigan and the Illinois prairie. More detail below. 🧵

If this doesn’t win there is no god.

It’s with great sadness, we mourn the tragic deaths of our friend Johnny Gaudreau and his brother Matthew Gaudreau. Our hearts are broken by this devastating loss. Johnny was and always will be a member of the Flames family and loved by all of Calgary.

I can’t believe *I* didn’t notice this, but Amy pointed out that Taki’s collar looks like the dog version of a Ghostbusters flight suit and now I need to make this happen…
