Helloooooooo Chicago! We'll be in your area this coming weekend for Flatstock 35, part of the Pitchfork Music Festival. To coincide with this wild & wonderful poster event, the folks behind the Show 'N Tell Show have invited us to come speak at the Flatstock edition of their live graphic design conversation series.
Mike Davis and Wes Winship will be up on stage talking about the process and story behind one of our favorite posters we've ever worked on. Also presenting that night will be fellow postermaking maniacs Screwball Press, Silent Giants, Casey Burns, and Sonnenzimmer!
That's Thursday July 12th, 8:30pm at Lincoln Hall (2424 Lincoln Ave, Chicago IL).

We just discovered comic artist Ed Piskor's ongoing series of online graphic novel shorts entitled Hip Hop Family Tree, part of his Brain Rot series. These comics, almost too good to be true, cover the early early early days of NY kids creating hip hop out of nothing, putting on block parties, recording the very first rap records, and birthing legends like Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, and Kurtis Blow. If you're a lover of hip hop and / or graphic novels, these are a must!
