Repost from @rickgriffith ⁠ Media Source: /tv/CaXu_2-F57O/⁠ ⁠ I’m not trying to be extra—but I couldn’t resist animating this poster. I called it ‘bedroom rap’ yesterday. It’s smooth. For pop music it’s very listenable. The animation is jerky. But I’ll work on it. Yeah the poster is for sale in the store. The show is tonight in Denver. Visit our linkin.bio to snag yours. ⁠ #stillwoozy⁠ #matterdesign⁠ #missionballroom⁠ #design⁠ #rinoartdistrict⁠ #gigposters⁠ #concertposters⁠ #graphicdesign⁠ #posterdesign⁠ #denvergraphicdesign⁠ #denverposterdesign⁠ #ilovemusic⁠ #ilovegraphicdesign⁠ #blackdesigner⁠ #graphicsanimation⁠ #animationdesign⁠ #denverdesign⁠ #music⁠ #denvermusic ( #📷 @rickgriffith )

Are you attending the #AIGADesignConf this week? Are you loving all of the international and BIPOC thinkers on stage?! We're SO proud of Rick Griffith and the work he’s done as chair for the conference. @aigadesign #AIGADesign #designcommunity #designers #designleadership #briefhistoryofnow #designforyou Posted @withregram@rickgriffith This year I’ve been asked to chair the conference for my (our) professional organization. I love to learn so I’ve made the conference that I want and need right now. Connected to the future. And connected to my people. If you love design as I do, you’ll find something in the program that will be worth pulling you back into zoom. More soon.

Online and live on May 5th! ⁠ ⁠ Artist Rick Griffith is joined by Evan Weissman and Stephen Brackett to discuss non-violence and activism in art and beyond, asking the questions: How do we continue to apply pressure to our government? What is the action that moves the needle? How do you take activism from the digital world and social media to the real world? And what is the real work?⁠ ⁠ Click the link in our bio for more information.⁠ ⁠ @rickgriffith @brerness @mca_denver @warmcookiesrevolution

Colorado in the Present Tense: @NarkitaGold , @RickGriffith , @ThisisNathanHall , and @Maia_Ruth_Lee , one of the spring exhibits at @mca_denver , opens to the public today, Tuesday, March 2nd! This is a wonderful exhibition and we hope you get the chance to see it! The show centers on four artists of the Colorado region and how they are responding to and reimagining the upended world in which we presently find ourselves. The exhibition features newly commissioned work and reframes existing projects from these artists. Reflecting on our current moment of upheaval, uncertainty, and complexity, each artist created site-specific responses, including large-scale projects, photography, sculpture, and sonic movements. Such a sweeping approach toward the most pressing issues of the day, from COVID-19 to Black Lives Matter, climate change, and beyond, makes clear how crucial the role of the artist is, particularly during moments of crisis. Colorado in the Present Tense looks to the artists of our region for new perspectives and solutions to our constrained and conflicted new normal. Their responses navigate a range of interpretations, including confusion, fear, humility, despair and hope, likely mirroring the emotional span that many visitors experienced as well.

We design for education—reformers with amazing ideas, action tanks, and teachers who do the hard work every day. We worked with our partners at RESCHOOL Colorado to make a game/experience that is designed to bridge generational gaps and build empathy for our learners.⁠ ⁠ They've got a Kickstarter that goes until 2 PM MST on 10/27, and right now, they running a special promotion with posters made by us for people who back the project by 10/11. Take a look at the link in our bio and please consider funding it! ⁠ ⁠ #ReSchoolColorado #education #gamedesign #Colorado #kickstarter

Repost @rickgriffith "Tomorrow at 1pm MDT / 3 PM Eastern. I'll be sharing some experiences since March 16. The idea was to talk about what happened to an 8 person design practice since Covid-19 and now it's about so much more. I hope you can join." Registration link in bio.
