I love it when the band gets the poster! When you have a discussion with the band over a piece and they say stuff like, “by far the best poster we’ve ever gotten,” “gritty and classy at the same time,” “I never hang up my band posters in my house, but this one goes up.” It’s Total Print Victory.

Then we had a cool discussion about the graffiti and how it somehow looks like Japanese characters. Pointed out that I gave shout outs to all my friends – Dave Hunter’s TRPS logo, Zoltron, Political Gridlock, and Ribbity (one of my favorite SF Graf artists).

Hangar 18 represents on an SF bus while the central figure “tunes out” with ipod in an introspective mood. Somehow all this technology still leaves us listening to our inner voice – even when blasting music.

Just a reminder – the Firehouse-Goldenvoice Poster Series is getting veeeery close to number 100.

The Oakland Museum of California • August 7, 2009

Figures that when Rock Poster Art gets invited to be exhibited in The Oakland Museum, it’s in the basement parking garage. Also figures that when WE INVADE the basement of the Museum – we draw a huge crowd down there! A genuine thank you to The Oakland Museum and The East Bay Express for a wonderful time.

The East Bay Express and the Hangar 18 collective had a great time at The Best of The East Bay Party – a celebration of everything great about The East Bay. Many of you stopped by the Hangar 18 booth to see live silkscreen poster making and artwork by Chuck Sperry & Ron Donovan of The Firehouse Kustom Rockart Company, Chris Shaw, Alexandra Fischer, Political Gridlock, Alan Hynes, Scott Johnson & Lulu. Many thanks to our fans and “Keep it in the Basement!”
