Crossing the Atlantic

Producer Anna Bressanin and cameraman Ilya Shnitser of the BBC News swung by the studio a few weeks ago to find out what makes the Post Family tick.

They’ve produced a great little documentary telling our story, which posted to the BBC News Magazine website today.

Cheers guys!

We’re all about sharing what we know with our extended family. The first weekend in November saw us take this idea to a new level as we hosted a letterpress blowout weekend-long workshop, showing students from Chicago Portfolio School what it means to get down-and-dirty and set some type by hand.

Student overachiever David Peña Blanco made a beautiful video documenting the day that we simply had to share.

Cheers to Bud Rodecker and Will Miller for hauling their Type 1 classes out on a weekend to make this happen.

SEEK 2011 design conference

Have an occasion to visit Northern Illinois University in DeKalb, IL this Saturday? Why not swing by the 2011 SEEK design conference! The Family will be presenting alongside the likes of Debbie Millman, Bob Faust, Thirst and Plural.

There, now you've got a reason.

Art Chicago & Next: April 29–May 2

Chicago’s Merchandise Mart will be buzzing this weekend as Art Chicago and Next take over, bringing thousands of art lovers from across the country to our humble little town for some cultural inspiration.

The Post Family will have quite a presence this time around, showing at numerous locations throughout the event including our Family booth, Ken Saunders Gallery and New City.

If that doesn’t sound enticing, we’ll sweeten the deal with FREE PASSES for the lot of you, good all weekend long!

Personal Space

I haven’t posted about a knock-out record in quite ahwile, but Chocolate Industries’ Personal Space has been tearin’ up my turntable all weekend.

“If the independently-pressed record made the galaxy of recorded music that much larger, the burgeoning home studio became the black hole from which little escaped … This collection presents the unheard underground of the self-produced, often solo, electronic soul world of the ‘70s and early ‘80s, offering a view into an ocean of sound that is in turn peaceful, bizarre, funky, and often humbly ahead of its time.”

Ridiculously good.

Hot damn I love this blog.
