    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.

    White Fungus

    Magazine

    'White Fungus' came all the way from Taichung City, Taiwan. It's the 11th Issue of 'an ongoing experiment in community media art. As the spores have been released its creators look forward to seeing which way the wind blows. The only thing more uncertain than its future is its past.' Get introduced to "kings of noise" Hijokaidan from Japan, see new work by Yao Jui-Chung and listen to the white fungus compilation produced by pogus.

    Club Donny

    Magazine

    The Post Family got a package from Rotterdam a while a go. Post editions sent us their publication "on personal experience of nature in an urban environment"
    Club Donny #5 has been out there since April. It contains short stories and photography. I like the full size images and 'donny's favorites' on the last page. They reach from wild plant seeds to caribou's music.
