in two weeks, mike perry will be showcasing some really beautiful work at the minneapolis college of art and design. running from march 26th-april 18th, ‘lost in the discovery of what shapes the mind‘ will celebrate some of mike’s newest work and will include an artist talk with mike the night before the opening. i loved getting a glimpse of all the work before it’s been set up (below) but i’m also really loving these one-of-a-kind screen printed posters that mike created as part of the show’s promotion. if i was in minneapolis i would definitely be stopping by to check this out, so if you’re lucky enough to be in the area, click here for more information and to visit the show. you can also check out a little mike perry studio tour video on the show’s blog right here. thanks, chris!

Just wanted to thank you for this week’s guest blogger! For my money, Simone (and TAA) is the best guest you’ve had since I’ve been following. Thanks!

This post made me soooo happy! I love Mike Perry’s work. Makes me proud to have gone to MCAD. I met Mike out in NYC, he was kind enough to participate in an alumni event.
Way to go!
Great stuff, thanks for sharing!

I am so excited that you are featuring an artist from Minneapolis. There is such an incredible community of artists there, it is wonderful to see one of them on Design Spronge! Woo!
