Puzzle Story
Prominently in Millennial Park, Cloud Gate has become affectionately known by visitors as the "Chicago Bean". It is a sculpture created by artist Anish Kapoor. The sculpture was inspired by liquid mercury and reflects the Chicago skyline, while its elliptical shape distorts and twists the reflected image. Visit Millennial Park and see this unique sculpture. Enjoy a Chicago Dog in the process. Chicago Dogs are celebrities by themselves. Complete on a poppy seed bun, the all-beef hot dog is topped with yellow mustard, chopped white onions, bright green sweet pickle relish, a dill pickle spear, tomato slices or wedges, pickled sport peppers and a dash of celery salt – NO Ketchup! The Windy City is another Chicago nickname bestowed upon them from Cincinnati- not because of the weather but because of the long windedness of the politicians, dating back to the late 1800's. Chicago is home to many political and screen celebrities of the 20th century. Take a moment to find the celebrities in the puzzle that hail from Chicago.

Eric has painted hundreds of people into the art already. In fact, when you look at any of the stadium art, many of the people in those stadiums are real! They’ve commissioned themselves to be placed with their favorite teams. It’s so fun! The only thing better than owning Eric’s art is personalizing yourself into Eric’s art and custom puzzles.
