Drink & Draw: February 2014—Poster Illustration
Combine bold illustrations with hand lettering to create poster concepts. With the help of special host, Red Riley of Twin Peaks Press, guests will warm up by experimenting with typography, color, and mark making. Next Drink-and-Drawers can create concepts for a rock show or event, real or fictitious, then use pencils, pens, ink, or the medium of their choice to complete their poster design.
Twin Peaks Press is a Chicago-based screen printing collaborative, design, and publishing effort founded by artists Ashlee Mays and Red Riley. Twin Peaks Press focuses on, but is not limited to, hand-drawn/hand-printed Gig Posters and Fine Art Screen printing.
Drink and Draw is a low-key event devoted to drawing practices. There is no teacher and no pretensions. Spudnik provides a theme for the evening, props, and festive drink. Attendees provide a sketchbook and basic drawing materials, and are encouraged to bring friends. Drawing nights take place the first Wednesday of every other month.
