Cantankerous Hellfighter

Thursday July 15th from 7pm-11pm
at The Family Room
1821 W Hubbard St. # 202

Join us pre-Pitchfork/Flatstock to celebrate the work of two of the longest names in poster art, Delicious Design League and Aesthetic Apparatus, as they join forces to create Cantankerous Hellfighter – a collection of collaborative prints, paper toys, apparel and test prints. Only one rule applies: NO GIG POSTERS!

Both design studios share similar histories and paths to glory. For example, both shops were started by two heterosexual life mates living together and running a shop out of their basements; both utilize original and found content in their design in unique and novel ways; both give better hugs than handshakes.

Please come and enjoy Cantankerous Hellfighter, another show exploiting The Post Family’s continued fascination with the space between form and function.

Show continues through July 9, 2010
We’re creating an online gallery of imagery and work related to the current crisis in the gulf.

Send us your work—be it smart, witty and sophisticated or heavy-handed, blunt and angry—so we can pool it together. We’re not asking you to bash BP—most would say we’ve all played a hand in this mess. But tell the world what’s on your mind in the best way that artists and designers know how.

Performance Art

A few weeks ago brother David conducted a new performance piece he has been perfecting for the past 3 years. It focuses primarily on stuffing himself into a small cardboard tube and trying to get up one stair in our studio. After an unsuccessful attempt and a resulting face plant, studio members rushed to the scene and quickly removed the horribly embarrassed brother from his cardboard straight jacket. It is sufficient to say, we are all looking forward to his next performance.
