Ray Davies brought the choir to The Warfield tonight – he also brought his anarchic sense of humor and brought down the house.
Saying this was a good show is an understatement.

I noticed that Ray Davies used a William Blake illustration for the cover of his latest album featuring choral arrangements of his favorite songs, so I’m paying homage with this poster, using William Blake art from his worked entitled, “Ancient of Days.” I used a heavy metallic silver and tinted it with translucent layers of color on black paper. This poster shines.

William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English Poet. painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Here’s the first Firehouse Goldenvoice Series poster for both venues, The Warfield and The Regency, in San Francisco, number 70 in the series.
Somehow I managed to draw and design and hand-letter this poster on the Monday after The TRPS Hall of Flowers Show. After having breakfast in The Haight-Ashbury with Urlo, Poia and Lu of Malleus, Jeff Wood, Johnny Thief and George Gamboa at The Pork Store. And after Jeff came over to the house to pack his posters to send home (Cool, Jeff stoked me a Stanley Mouse / Jeff Wood – Sheppard Fairey parody – colab print called “DOSE”). And after a gallery meeting with Phil Cushway at Artrock. And after dropping The Malleus kids off at Union Square; I got to work on this drawing of Anu – Irish Goddess of The Waters. The first real winter rain was just starting to blow into San Francisco, tearing through the trees in front of my apartment in the Panhandle. Thought the Pogues would dig this drawing, a reference to the primordial Celtic goddess of fertility.
Urlo arrived and suggested I put “The Pogues” into the reflection right under Anu’s face. I handed him the drawing and a piece of paper and pencil and asked him if he would like to letter that. So he did. The result is a bit of a cool colab action – all relaxed – just a slice of life. Nice to have the Malleus folks staying at the house.
