You Are Beautiful is a bold and simple statement, established in Chicago in 2002. This powerful message has spread around the world, distributing over a half million stickers, along with generating countless projects to beautify neighborhoods in cities globally. The project is open to all, from established artists & designers, to inspired youth. No matter who is involved, the intention and enthusiasm remains unwavering.

Tom Burtonwood is an artist and educator based in Chicago. He teaches at the School of the Art Institute and Columbia College. Since 2009 he has developed a keen interest in all things digital fabrication.
