Population: 485 “Summer Here” Poster Donations to the Feed My People Food Bank

Posted in:

If you’ve seen the [TK DATE] issue of Volume One, that beautiful cover is the work of Mike’s longtime family friend and Chippewa Valley artist Lori Chilefone. You also may recognize the artwork from the Population 485-based “Summer Here” poster. In honor of Lori and her work, from June 12th through July 4th, 2025, for any orders of or including the “Population: 485 “Summer Here” poster, we will make a donation to the Feed My Children Food Bank in Eau Claire, WI. You can purchase the poster here.

From Lori:

“The opening paragraph of Population: 485 inspired me in creating this collage. The figure in the collage is from a circa 1880’s gravure rendering by Smeeton & Tilly of a statue of Phoebe. A Titan goddess of the moon, worshipped by ancient Greeks, her name derives from the Greek for shining, bright, and radiant.”

It showcases butterflies that are native to the region of Wisconsin where the book Population: 485 is set.
