? A Chicago teen's design for a Chicago city vehicle sticker didn't make the cut last year because of its controversial interpretation, but his art work is now hanging in the nation?s capital.
Herbie Pulgar's drawing beat-out more than 200 other entries in a city-wide art contest for the city vehicle sticker.
? However, city clerk Susana Mendoza yanked it because of a possible gang connection in the art.
Now, Chicago congressman Luis Gutierrez chose Pulgar's design as his district's entry in the annual congressional art contest for high school students nationwide, saying it "represents a positive vision of our city."
? Pugar and his mom went to Washington Tuesday to see the drawing unveiled in the hallway between the capitol and the cannon house office building.
