The All-Seeing Eye knows the truth.  It sees though phony arguments and false witnesses.  It observes injustice caused by a cruel heart.  When words have no meaning, actions reveal one's desires.  Be kind or it will ensure your failure.

This painting would look best in a small space that is dark red, yellow, light orange, green, blue, white, black, grey, beige, or wood.

Mike Kraus was born on the industrial shoreline of Muskegon, Michigan. After earning his Fine Arts Degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago, he attended Grand Valley State University for his graduate degree. From there, he gained varied experiences from the Chicago Architecture Center, Art Institute of Chicago, Hauenstein Center For Presidential Studies, Lollypop Farm Humane Society, and the Lurie Children's Foundation. And every place he worked, he had his sketchbook with him and found ways to be actively creative. In 2014, Kraus became a full-time artist by establishing Mike Kraus Art. Since then, he has sold thousands of paintings that are displayed in nearly every state and dozens of countries. Currently, Kraus lives in Rochester, New York with his beautiful wife and goofy dog.

"It's Exactly What You'd Expect; Old Men With Cigarettes..."

Welcome one; welcome all!

Seems we've made some national headlines for "snow" in Chicago. Not sure why. It didn't seem like a big deal to me. We were even on Nightline for snow. Chicago got snow. Why is that news? Do they put Florida on the news for thunderstorms or Nevada in the news for dry weather? Anyway, it must have been a slow news day or something. It's not like there's a failing war or anything going on...

This is when snow is the best. It's fresh snow. No one has walked in it. It's not melting. It just looks like a postcard.


Outside my apartment.


On the way to work down Richmond facing North Ave.


A fence with a tangle of trees


Blue Line Damen stop looking south down Damen.


Arlington facing west.


Some church group was passing this out at the train station the morning after our first big snow of the year. I thought Tropicana was passing out samples. Some church passed these out with stickers that said "Jesus said to feed the poor, instead we have fed ourselves." Okay... Then why are you feeding people who are commuting to their good jobs in the city?


I'm not a fan of advertising, but I have to admire Cartoon Network's campaign.


German Christmas Village at Daley Plaza!


Look at all of these nutcases!


EAT MORE BRATS, KRAUTS!


This x-mas tree is actually constructed out of hundreds of x-mas trees. Each branch is a tree. It's crazy to see them install it.


I never ask for much, but I'm really hoping for this coat for x-mas! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

That's it from Chicago.
