Early is officially half finished with is 5 piece collection of “The Chico Experience” that will spell out the word C-H-I-C-O when complete CSU, Chico President Paul Zingg will be present to unveil the “I” at 5 p.m.

Early is a graduate of the graphic design program at Chico State and studied at the School of Fine Arts in Seville, Spain.
