About Fugscreens Studios

Zissou Tasseff-Elenkoff established Fugscreens Studios in 2006, a production house specializing in illustration, design and printmaking.  After several iterations, Fugscreens is now the operating base of All Star Press in Logan Square, Chicago. Zissou graduated from SAIC with a BFA in Printmaking and Photography after completing a foundations course at Central Saint Martins in London. Zissou is an avid fan of music and art inspired by music; Fugscreens grew initially from his desire to teach screenprinting to others, as well as break into the gig poster market. Since its humble inception in a Logan Square basement, Fugscreens moved into its first commercial space in 2009.

Gathering recognition and demand from artists all over the Midwest, Zissou decided to broaden the studio’s brand again in 2012, leading to the foundation of Galerie F, a successful printmaking and street art gallery.  After five years of owning Galerie F, he opened All Star Press, the first sports art gallery in Chicago, carrying the Fugscreens Studios franchise with him. Throughout its existence, Fugscreens Studios has remained close to its roots, establishing itself as a unique studio which has been designing and printing gig/concert posters for well over a decade, as well as fostering a larger community of artists throughout the Chicago area and the U.S.

Zissou currently wears several hats as an owner/manager, curator of exhibitions, and retail at All Star Press, while designing/printing full-time for Fugscreens Studios. Fortunately for him, Fugscreens Studios and All Star Press are located in the same building, working in tandem as a single well oiled machine.
