    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.

    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.

    I love tea. I love my electric tea kettle. I would rock this thing. Very nice Estelle.

    This kettle by Ecole Nationale supérieure d’Art et de Design de Saint-Etienne graduate Estelle Sauvage uses a light bulb to heat water for a cup of tea.

    Summer City

    Will Bryant and Rand Renfrow

    Summer City is the collaborative efforts of Will Bryant and Rand Renfrow. These two kids from Texas share an infatuation with good feelings, nature, color, shape, screen printing, wacky characters, hand lettering, and Native American culture.

    In their debut show, Summer City, this radical duo explores the basic struggle between good and evil. The good things being fruits, vegetables, exercise, and making stuff. The bad being dependency on technology, laziness, and negative energy. This isn't a look into something new, but rather a poke at themselves and their daily lives. As technology progresses and every waking second is consumed by social media, Will and Rand comment in their light hearted manner through painting, drawing, printmaking, and zines.

    Check the show on Will's Flickr.
