About Big Star:

The Big Star Logo Was Taken From the 2003 Painting Red Star by Local Chicago Poet, Actor & Artist Tony Fitzpatrick, Which he Describes As €œblinking Over the City of Chicago At Night, Illuminating Old-Time Bars, Cigars and Gamblers’ Trinkets.” Mr. Fitzpatrick’s Works Are in the Collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami. Red Star Is A Tribute To Mr. Fitzpatrick’s Friend Nelson Algren, Who Lived Near Wicker Park and Painted His Mailbox the Same Three Colors; the Black Represented Night, the Red Symbolized Blood and Yellow Was for the Sun. Mr. Fitzpatrick Said he Also Created Red Star for the Diverse Working Class People of the Neighborhood and It Stands for the Labor Movement of the Polish, Mexican, Irish, Slovian, Puerto Rican and Italian Immigrants of Wicker Park.
