Art Exhibition
I had the pleasure of meeting some of these dudes while out in LA last week. Super nice guys who do amazing work. So if you're in the LA area and like art and want to support a good cause, then get out to this show! It's gonna be great. I'm bummed I won't be able to be there myself! There's some more info here.

Prairieside Forks on 20X200
Ross Racine draws these amazing aerial-looking-photos without any photographs or scanned materials which is pretty perplexing. Would love to see "photos" of his process.
Some of his work is being featured on the Art for Everyone site, 20x200

Love, The Post Family
The Family has just returned from an amazing trip to San Fran. We are all exhausted and refreshed at the same time. We spent a week at the Levi's Workshop/Printshop letter pressing and screen printing posters and that explore the mission of Creative Commons with the help of Craig Newmark. We presented a fresh new identity to the brilliant Green For All organization. We had some insane croissants from Tartine Bakery that made me have to take a nap. Indulged in some insane coffee from Blue Bottle. Went zine crazy at Needles & Pens. And most importantly, made some super rad friends!
We will be updating our flickr this week with some beautiful and possibly incriminating photographs so check back. Also, we will be loading up our shop with new prints from the workshop in the next few weeks.

J Tillman - Singing Ax
J. Tillman's new album Singing Ax, which was recorded in just a 3-day span somewhere in Chicago, is speaking directly to my soul.
He'll be performing at the Empty Bottle in Chicago on August 5th.
Check out Three Sisters (mp3) that Western Vinyl is distributing as the album preview.

Open til August 14 in SF
A new friend recommended I check out Victor Reyes solo show at the Robert Berman Gallery. So after a night of printing at the Levi's Workshop I rode my bike over only to be surprised by Reyes hanging out. So after a nice personal tour of his work he snapped this photo.
Check out it out by picking up his beautiful monograph of the show.

Morning Portrait
I've had the pleasure of rooming with Chad for the past week or so and have come to realize that this dude does not like mornings. Especially this morning. I took this one to add to my continuing Red Polaroid series and it's quickly becoming my favorite. Thanks for being a good sport Chad!

Illustration
Somewhere on the fine line between London and Berlin lives a great illustrator/art director/lecturer. So much good stuff on her site it's hard to pick a favorite piece. I really love her marker drawings. Check out her blog while you're at it.

6-9pmBoth in their art and their attendant values these artists work tirelessly to sustain cultural entities. They blanket space with meaning and convert square footage into bold proclamations. The music world reaps the rewards of Sonnenzimmer's subtle, painterly gig posters while the apparel industry appropriate's Mike Perry's electric zine hallucinations into backpacks and Nike dunks. Both Dan Funderburgh and Seripop explore the limits of spatial adornment, Dan through the design of delicately intricate wallpaper that balances Moorish mosaic with American op art, and Seripop via enormous street poster collages, a medium they have evolved from their monstrous rock posters and describe as "the 'skin' of a city, growing and shedding organically."
This is going to be awesome my friends: Public Works
