——————————————————-

A portion of the sale of the Widespread Panic variant editions will go to help my dear friend Charles Bock and family.

You may remember, I designed the cover of his novel “Beautiful Children.” Check out the book cover design and the poster here.

I’ll quote Charles McGrath about Charles and his situation from the New York Times: “The writer Charles Bock made a great many literary friendships during the years while he struggled to complete his first novel, “Beautiful Children.” When Mr. Bock’s wife, Diana Colbert, was discovered to have leukemia and underwent a bone marrow transplant in the fall of 2009, many of those friends pitched in to offer household help. In October, Ms. Colbert’s leukemia returned (she is scheduled for another transplant next month), and three of the Bocks’ friends, the novelists Fiona Maazel and Mary-Beth Hughes and the writer Leigh Newman, decided they needed to help even more. “We said everything that can be done, should be done,” Ms. Maazel recalled. So on Feb. 6th, at P.S. 122 in the East Village, the Bock friends are throwing what they’re calling “the most literary rent party ever.” Full article

Here’s a link to donate to Charles Bock and his family.

Moonalice at Slim’s SF Poster – January 3,4,5 – Moonalice TV Live

Moonalice is starting 2011 with a live three night Moonalice TV engagement at Slim’s in San Francisco. I made this silkscreened poster for the event at the request of the band, art directed by Chris Shaw.

The subject in my poster is hanging a poem or prayer in a tree. This is an ancient human ritual. People have been doing this in every quarter of the world forever. I was in England with Chris Hopewell from Jacknife posters and he took me to the Avesbury Stones (the little Stonehenge), and the oak trees around the site were streaming with prayer ribbons. My girlfriend Nancy hangs ribbons in the tree across the street. The ancient ritual again. It’s 2011, so we hang posters on telephone poles. And Moonalice, they livestream their rock show – and since we live in a technological new millennium – their poems are hung electronically on the air.
