    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.

    Our next show: More is More

    Nancy Rosen

    I am beyond excited to present our next show which happens to be of my mother, whom is one of the most incredible artists I know.

    Since Nancy Rosen was a little child she has found solace in the small things: sunflower seeds, rubber band balls, using the roll of toothpaste until there is not a single drop left. She sees beauty and comfort in repetition, patterns in most any variety.

    It's the little things that guide her painting. The way a subject smiles. The way the light hits their arm. That tiny background detail that suddenly seems dreadfully important to the finished work. Nancy's artistic process is one of open arms.

    She paints without vacation or hiatus, filling the walls of her Chicago studio with works-in-progress, none removed until they're finished. Patterns beget new patterns; images layer on top of one another as she aims to capture little human encounters, ranging from a soft embrace to the hidden, reassuring brush of an index finger at the edge of the picture plane.

    She's truly an artist in every essence of the word. More Is More, in the Family Room, represents a diverse and expansive taste of her endless collection—a wide variety of little things.

    I hope that you will join us Friday, October 8 from 6 to 12pm. There will be a ton of people. Beer, food, coffee, great music and so much more. Hope to see you there, we'll certainly keep you posted on details as they surface.

    Here's the link to our facebook event page.
