    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.

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.

    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.

    Some good stuff going on over at HUH Magazine. Make sure you check out their shop. Tons of great zines and books to drool over. And this image is for whoever keeps leaving only the word "boobs" in the comments. It's from Attack! by RJ Shaughnessy. Enjoy.

    Gypse Eyes

    Zine

    We just got this zine in the mail the other day, and I have to say, I really like it. As the site explains it... "Gypse Eyes is a zine which investigates the hilarity and loneliness of sex, love and relationships." I especially love the photos of used condoms on the ground next to bottles of wine and packs of cigarettes. I always imagine what must've taken place there when I see that... gross. Check out their site, or pick one up here.

    Alyssa Monks

    Hyperrealism Paintings

    I really like hyperrealism paintings. I'm not sure where that started, but I've always liked them. Even before I was really into art at all. Alyssa's work is a perfect representation of the genre. So detailed and so beautiful. I'd love to see her work in real life.

    Ryan Rhodes

    Design

    Really digging Ryan's work and site. I like that his about just says "My name is Ryan. I live in Austin. I wanted to share this with you." So simple and so good. I found him via Brand New.

    Fabien Barral

    Design

    You might know his work from visiting the inspirational site, Graphic Exchange. I've always liked his use of image, color and type. Really nice stuff. And he does a great job of curating the content on GE as well. Always a good site to go to.
