I just walked next door to the Frank Stone Gallery to preview the new Spunk Poster Offensive show, which opens tomorrow at 5:00 p.m. Featured are some of the Twin Cities best designers, sounding off politically in a series of bad-ass posters. Two fantastic Obama prints, available and reasonably priced, caught my attention, as did a graphically-strong 3-poster set by Phil Silverstein from San Francisco (the only non-local artists in the show) and commisioned by the Huffington Post. Another favorite is Sarah Nelson Forss’ “Get Your Ass Out and Vote!” (Sarah’s our girl–she’s one of a handful of great local designers who’ve worked on the Chowgirls brand.) This show draws a big, hip crowd–hey, Heidi, Maari, and I are all coming–so come on out if you’re cool enough! It’ll make you feel very political….Oh, did I mention there’d be free fancy Chowgirls food there?
