Southport in a Growing Bakehouse Mug Collection

A Chicago neighborhood received its own illustration after Roscoe Village and Lakeview.

The Bakehouse team invited the Southport design after our earlier neighborhood mugs. I wanted its street-level details to feel specific enough for regular customers to recognize, even within a related series.

A gift idea with a real place behind it

For a friend who has moved away, the familiar names in the artwork do the work: Southport Corridor and Music Box Theatre are reminders of an actual place. Include a note naming the moment you shared there, or ask which detail they noticed first when you give it to them.
