Chicago's First Family Holds Court

Chicago collective The Post Family recently wrapped up a showing last month over at Letterform. Served as an unofficial retrospective of the groups work, the exhibit had displayed everything from screen print and letterpress work to post-it note and found object installation as well as photography.
Images after the jump. Enjoy!

Promoting Good Values

Take the time today and get to know Chad, Rod, Alex, Scott, David and Sam. Otherwise known as Chicago's favorite brothers from different mothers, The Post Family.
Apart from having strong individual portfolios, the group has quietly put together a solid blog with posts consisting of quirky designs as well as some brilliant examples of contemporary art.
Everything is for the growth of our family members and community by supplying them with the resources and inspiration to accomplish their individual goals.
Words from Alex Post on Values:
Essentially, I value value. Currency, measurable amounts of wealth and gold. Value is tangible. Value allows me to purchase cars and gain respect from peers and even distinguished individuals above me on the food chain. I will never underestimate the power of value and it’s ability to buy small countries and even portable underarm hygenic products.
I wonder if they'd be willing to adopt a Post cousin from Canada?

Defence Against Bad Design Fallout

Some nice work coming from Portlands Cold War Skateboards.
Cold War is a small company run by two guys who love skateboarding. Cold War is not interested in which pro is doing which trick at what famous location. Cold War exists to make the kind of skateboards that we think need to made, regardless of whether or not you buy them. We also prefer a skateboard that's been screenprinted as opposed to a heat transfer. The tactile quality is nice.
Fingers crossed these designs show up on longboards in the near future.
