Easier to apply than embroidered patches, buttons have become the central mode of expression for those looking to make a statement on their backpack or lapel. Christen Carter's Busy Beaver Button-O-Matic Series raises buttons to a new level of cultural importance — as tiny art galleries. Each collection has a theme, and GLOW includes glow-in-the-dark works by Jay Ryan (Bird Machine), Johnny Ryan (Angry Youth Comix), Julia Rothman, Derek Erdman, Jacob MacGraw, Alex Jovanovich, Kevin Hooyman, Quietlife, Sonny (you may be familiar with his rain-cloud street art), and Little Friends of Printmaking. The pins are available at 26 Busy Beaver Button dispensers nationwide, including 15 in and around Chicago.
