There are a couple of really cool events coming up for area designers. Later this month, on Thursday, September 24, designer and personal hero Art Chantry will be paying a visit to Cleveland. (Nice graphic, Mikey!) Some more information:
Rock poster legend Art Chantry's works are gritty, inventive and sometimes startling. For Chantry, poster design is folk art and his approach: low-tech. Chantry is known for subculture posters and album covers he designed for Nirvana, Hole and The Sonics which rivals the world's best graphic design. But he is equally admired for his compelling logo design, and his creative talent has been pursued by corporations such as Nike, Microsoft and Coca-Cola. You'll want to hear what this iconic graphic designer has to say about delivering a loud, memorable, visual message.
Hell yeah! Also, Lizzy Lee, a good friend and fellow designer, someone I first met while she worked for the Cleveland Museum of Art and is now part of design collaborative Rini Uva Lee, is speaking this Friday, September 11, at the Cleveland Institute of Art. Details:

Free and open to the publicThis talk is about fame, love, fear, and graphic design - really it's about 11 years of a graphic designer's life working in NYC design firms, Philadelphia ad agencies, a museum in Cleveland, and finally for herself.
