“People in Chicago are always looking for different ways to give back to those in need and GiveAShi*t offers a chance to buy meaningful gifts for friends, family, and yourself while supporting the hardworking vendors of StreetWise,” said Scott Marvel, president of Daily Planet Productions and mastermind behind the GiveAShi*t Campaign. StreetWise helps homeless and at-risk individuals seeking to build a better life with employment opportunities. It provides a dignified means of addressing the crisis of poverty and homelessness, and provides individuals with immediate access to a respectable and legitimate earned income through their own hard work. Well-known on the streets of Chicago, StreetWise vendors make their own way to the StreetWise office where they pay $.90 for the magazine they then sell for $2, making a $1.10 profit on each sale.

The shirts can be purchased online at www.giveashirt.net. Select designs are also available as tank tops, tote bags, notebooks, coffee mugs, posters and hand towels.

SPACE BETWEEN US by KARA HAMILTON

CATRONAUT by TIM SOUERS

ON THE MEND by HEATHER BARNES & SHAWN WILLIAMS

REMODEL THE WORLD by BRUNO PIERONI

I wanted to do something that sums up how far apart we’ve felt from each other and our loved ones, and to give some perspective, so we can start seeing more of our connectedness and not our separation moving forward.

Kara Hamilton is an art director and artist living in Chicago. Her work spans design, illustration, photography, and video, and she has created innovative content for global brands.

Tim Souers has worked in advertising since the '80s and is currently transitioning to art (https://bit.ly/2ISiSB4). Tim lives in Chicago with wife Kim, and they both wear masks.

A visual illustration of mending a world torn in two by political division, racial injustice, economic disparities, and a thriving pandemic.

Heather is a creative director in Chicago who works on brand development on various beer, wine and spirits accounts. Shawn is an illustrator and graphic designer in Wisconsin. The long-distance couple loves collaborating on art and design in their spare time.

Bruno Pieroni has dabbled in everything: illustration, stand-up comedy, photography, writing, animation, and — get this — a 15-year career in advertising. www.twitter.com/brunopieroni www.instagram.com/brunopieroni

BORN TO WANDER by NATE AZARK

IT COMES FROM THE BEGINNING by JON LANGFORD

THE LONG ARC by JEANNINE RINGLAND ZWIRN

BTTR TGTHR by CHema SKANDAL!

Nate thrives at the intersection of branding, packaging and illustration.

He's inspired by travels around the world and all things Chicago. He strives to find ways to give back to the community and to help those in need, which is why he loves working with GiveAShi*t every year.

It comes from a song I’m currently working on called "Big Red Angel," which incorporates a bunch of myths and legends common to many cultures about an angel who turns up to restore justice and avenge the downtrodden in times of great trouble and distress (like now).

Jon Langford is an artist and musician from Wales who has lived in Chicago since 1992. He plays with several bands and spends a lot of time sitting alone in his painting studio dreaming of home...

Theodore Parker tells us that he cannot see the entire arc: “My eye reaches but little ways” and we are only on a small path of this arc. We must remember that behind the words of Parker is the need to work continually toward justice and peace. The arc will not bend toward justice without the long-term effort of everyday people like you and me.

After a long career in corporate sales, Jeannine now works for Daily Planet and uses her retail sales skills at GiveAShi*t.

CHema is a graphic artist and enthusiast of popular music and images of the last century. www.facebook.com/chemaskandal www.instagram.com/chemaskandal www.twitter.com/chemaskandal www.chemaskandal.tumblr.com

PLANET OF THE APES by RICK CONRAD

BEAR HUG by ROB CODY

BETTER SOON, THX by TRAVIS LAMPE

Jay established a reputation for hand-drawn text and a computer-free design process. His prints aim to attain the same goals as other concert posters, but using raccoons and toasters instead of skulls, breasts and hot rods. More Jay Ryan designs can be purchased at www.giveashirt.net!

I thought of Rheinhold’s “Monkey with Skull” statue. Instead of the monkey philosophizing about the evolution of man, he ponders the evolution of our world. If we can’t seem to repair what we’ve broken, perhaps our ape friends can. So simple, even a monkey can do it?

Rick Conrad likes to make stuff. He dabbles in illustration, painting, songwriting, poetry, photography... Conrad is proud to be a part of GiveAShi*t since its inception.

With the theme being "Repair the world," I wanted to show a bit of what we all could use right now: a great big ole bear hug.

Rob Cody is a Creative Director at 160over90 by day and an artist/ illustrator by night. He aims to bring a little humor and humanity to all his work. .

The world has taken a beating. Let’s fix this place up! Don’t forget to sign the cast.

Travis is an artist based in Chicago who usually paints sad, angry and/ or drunk things, but in a fun way. He never paints elbows or knees, instead favoring an elbow and kneeless style inspired by old-timey cartoons and Dr. Seuss.

GREEN IS GROOVY by SAMANTHA CONRAD

NEEDLE WORK by SARAH BECAN

CULTIVATING COMPASSION by SARA KOPKE

EMPATHY ROCKS by SCOT WESTWATER

I chose to throw it back to an era where environmentalism really started coming into fruition, the 1960's + 1970's. It's time to reprioritize the planet, and step back into being "Green" as our duty in being a good-hearted, aware, kind, (and groovy) human being!

Sammy Conrad is a freelance graphic designer and yoga instructor.

Sam was honored to create a shirt design this year after watching her dad, Rick Conrad, create rad designs for GiveAShi*t since it began.

A strong seam is made up of many tiny stitches, each of them equally important. Repairing the world might be an overwhelming task, but it's made up of the small steps we take towards building a better world.

Sarah Becan has been drawing comics since she was very small. Her autobiographical webcomic "I Think You're Sauceome" sparked a love of food and culinary illustration. Her first graphic novel, "The Complete Ouija Interviews," won a Xeric Award.

My goal was to illustrate the nurturing capabilities of humanity in such a way that it bends with the Earth.

Born around Chicago and currently residing in Logan Square, Sara is both a freelance animator and illustrator. She brings her work to life both digitally and with traditional media such as watercolor.

A classic from the GiveAShi*t vault returns! As it turns out, empathy does, in fact, still rock.

TIKKUN OLAM by SCOTT MARVEL

EQUALLITY by JULIO DESIR

REBUILD by JOHN POBOJEWSKI

MONKEY MAYHEM by SCOTT RASMUSSEN

This year has been a challenge for every person on this planet. It’s been a particularly challenging year for the vendors of StreetWise.

Already on the cusp of homelessness, they saw their jobs disappear when the city shut down. StreetWise stayed open through everything, offering meals and comfort to all of its 120 vendors. They launched an emergency fundraising campaign to support the livelihood of everyone to keep them off the streets and at risk of death.

At a very early age, Julio was drawn to art. Corny, but true. He declined an appointment at West Point to study graphic design at Michigan State instead. Today, he is a creative director in Chicago leading the creation of brand, design, digital and social content for various blue-chip accounts.

We have all the pieces — we just need the will to put them back together.

John Pobojewski is a partner and design director at Span, focusing on intermedia and the blending of brand, interactive sound, motion, and environments. .

“This is a true event that really happened. You can look it up. History!!!!”

You might have seen Scott's work around town for the RBG exhibition at the Illinois Holocaust Museum, or the Adler Planetarium campaign: Space is Freaking Awesome.
