You’re Invited: Friday, October 30! Spotlight Series #2: Mike Perry Viewing Party!

Viewing Party @ Renegade Handmade (1924 W. Division St., Chicago, IL)

Friday, October 30 | 7pm – 9pm

We are officially one week away from the opening of Spotlight Series #2: Mike Perry’s Insound 10 Classic!

And YOU are officially invited to swing by Renegade Handmade, check out Perry’s awesome work + enjoy some free beer and wine!

Featuring all new limited edition silkscreen posters Perry has specially designed, the InSound 10 Classic tells a visual narrative of 20 years of punk, new-wave and indie music through the medium of the rock-poster and a contemporary-design lens.

Bands featured in Perry’s designs include; Richard Hell + The Voidoids, The Feelies, Beat Happening, Galaxie 500, The Magnetic Fields, The Promise Ring, The Olivia Tremor Control, The Apples in Stereo, Sleater-Kinney and The Promise Ring. Each of these fantastic designs were hand-printed locally in Chicago by the incredible artist behind each of our Craft Fair posters, Renegade’s beloved Mat Daly! Thanks Mat!

How great are these models, by the way?

In addition to posters, we will have T-shirts and tote bags for sale featuring Perry’s original artwork.

Attention online shoppers :: Posters will also be available in our online shop beginning Nov. 2nd!

Mike Perry is an award-winning designer specializing in hand-drawn type and graphic illustration working and living in Brooklyn, NY. Clients he has worked with include New York Times Magazine, Dwell Magazine, Urban Outfitters and Zoo York. His first book of typography, Hand Job, was published in 2006, with a second book, Over and Over, recently released!

For this project, Perry’s designs were commissioned by Insound.com and conceived ‘with the fan in mind – to provide new, creative products for those hungry for well designed products from bands that might not have much (or any) new merchandise in the market.‘

So whether you’re a fan of Perry, the bands featured, limited-edition silkscreen rock poster collecting, stellar contemporary design,  free beer + wine, Renegade Handmade or ALL OF THE ABOVE – come on by Friday, October 30th, and join the celebration!

Perry’s work will remain on view through Tuesday, November 17th!
