I noticed one of the featured artists on the "Bad at Sports" website last week was Angee Lennard. She's a SAIC grad, who started a cooperative community Print Shop called Spudnik Press. Last semester when I was doing the interview project for John's Class, I was in contact with her trying to set something up, but unfortunately, due to scheduling and stuff, we never quite were able to make it happen. Regardless, I am still really interested in this place and their activities, but I think you guys might be too! Check out this website;

If anyone ever wants to go, lets do it! Could be really fun. :)
spudnik is a great place. excellent story and angee herself is super cool. i met her at a grants workshop and she's really trying to launch spunik to bigger and better things. i highly recommend swinging by her space if you're interested in printmaking.
ReplyDeleteYes - I've meant to check this place out when I was taking print classes. Didn't we talk about doing some group printing last semester?
ReplyDeleteThe coffee shop I'm at right now (Cafe Mustache) has a series of ten prints up from Spudnik right now, almost all of which I really like (huge for coffee-shop art!). I overheard the woman working here say they're each done by a different print artist, in response to ten different original songs by Chicago musicians. I think this is what she was talking about:
