Just a Casual Observation One-Year Anniversary!!!

JCO is proud to celebrate our first full year of Casually Observing.

JCO is Jill Jeannides and Missy Weimer, these two trash-talking Chicagoans have been fast friends since 1997 when they met at the very prestigious School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC). They have a long tradition of opinionated ranting and unsolicited advice giving. JCO was a natural extension of their prolific output as artists, in hindsight, it’s surprising that it took so long.




JCO was born on New Year’s Day 2008 at the Phoenix Hotel in San Francisco. Just a Casual Observation was made about the dating habits of men who have only one testicle. This observation led to a compelling impetus to publish and continue with new observations on all sorts of topics...it was the fertile grounds in the lower belly of San Francisco's tenderloin-- that delivered the scathing commentaries that would nurture Casual Observations for months to come.



Below is a look back at our first year:
