TRPS presents:
Rock Art By The Bay at The Cannery
Saturday August 18, 2012 from 10:00am — 6:00pm
The Rock Poster Society (TRPS) is pleased to announce the rock poster art event of the summer! TRPS presents Rock Art By the Bay on Saturday August 18, 2012 at the Cannery near San Francisco’s Fisherman’s Wharf. The show will run from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Admission: FREE
I’ll be attending TRPS Rock Art By The Bay at The Cannery. It’s going to be a busy weekend.
Tonight, Thursday, August 16, 2012 I’ll be making a rare showing of my art pieces on wood panel at Varnish Fine Art Gallery at 16 Jessie Street, San Francisco. Pieces sold at Varnish benefit Visual Aid, so it is definitely for a really great cause. Come tonight, it’ll make a great pre-TRPS social event, and you can have a look at “Alpha,” “Omega,” “Cosmos,” and “Mind Spring,” and bring one home for a good cause!
I’ve got some news to share regarding some exclusive releases for the Rock Art by the Bay.
I’ll be making some never released artist proofs and very limited variants available on a one per person basis only to participants of the exposition on Saturday, August 18, 2012. There are some surprises here:

Okay second, my special promotion, well, treasure hunt really.
If you’ve been reading my blog closely you may be aware that I have a lot of art work hanging around the fair City of San Francisco. I’d like you see to see all my art in person – so I’m providing a little incentive – in a fun way.
First here’s a list of the three exhibitions where I have work showing (then I’ll show you what you get, if you go and see them; and explain how you can get it) …
1. The San Francisco Museum Of Modern Art Window Gallery is exhibiting an 11 foot by 9 foot acrylic painting of mine called “Saint Everyone” on Minna Street (which is hanging with Chris Shaw’s and Ron Donovan’s paintings in adjoining windows). There is also a colaborative piece, I painted with Chris Shaw, called “Temporally Bound (Three Gorgons)” which is installed on Natoma Street on the other side of the SFMOMA garage.
2. Varnish Fine Art Gallery is exhibiting a painting of mine called “Heathen Child” at 16 Jesses Street as part of their Relaunch Show.
3. The San Francisco Public Library is exhibiting “High Volume: Rock Art from the Chuck Sperry Archive and the Firehouse Goldenvoice Poster Series” at the Main Branch on Grove and Market.
Here’s what you get – limited to one per person – on a first come / first serve basis – while supplies last:
