Raise a glass (and maybe a cheer!) to the heart and hustle of Champaign, Illinois with the pubsOf Fighting Pubs of Champaign 18 x 24 Poster — a vibrant, hand-painted celebration of the city’s most iconic pubs and landmarks surrounding the University of Illinois. From campus favorites to legendary locals, this detailed artwork captures the soul of Illini country, one pint and one landmark at a time.

Created by artist Brian McKelvey, the mastermind behind the beloved pubsOf series, this piece bursts with character, nostalgia, and community pride. McKelvey, who’s been sketching since he could hold a pencil, began chronicling college-town life through his unique “stretched-city” style — where every familiar spot gets its moment in the spotlight. Whether you’re a proud alumnus, a current student, or someone who just loves a cozy pub crawl through C-U, this artwork brings your favorite memories to life in stunning color and detail.

Even better, this 18” x 24” poster is available framed or unframed, so you can style it your way — hang it in your home bar, office, or game room for an instant conversation starter. If it’s out of stock in-store, don’t worry! Yours may ship directly from the vendor, and framed versions often do. For the collectors among us, a 12” x 18” signed and numbered print version is also available.
