________________
(I’m leaving on an Italian tour – I’m shipping Black Keys posters before I go – of course!)
In 2006 I was offered by Centro Sociale Leoncavallo, 1000 square meters build a print studio. I worked with printmaker Marcelo de la Hoz. I lived in Leoncavallo, built the studio, found ink, paper and supplies, made great friends with the kind people of Leoncavallo – and started making rock posters. I lived in Italy for a year. It was a super cool time!
After six years, the print studio I left to Leoncavallo, has been populated by a new and energetic group of artists who have joined Marcelo to make great art at Leoncavallo! The print studio is alive and well, so that’s a great cause for celebration. I’ve been invited to join in a celebration of the art being produced at Leoncavallo, on Friday, Saturday and Sunday – May 25, 26, 27 – this coming weekend.
Since I was making the trip to Italy, it seemed a great opportunity to see old friends and do some fun stuff. After Milan I’ll go with my friend Giampo Copparoni to Torino for an art show together, with Guitar Wolf and Bob Log III playing. From there to Pisa, to make a show at the banks of the Arno River, for opening night of Cafe Leningrad’s Argini e Margini spot – a beautiful outdoor venue – complete with beach and bar / restaurant. My great friend Dome La Meurte will DJ.
Next to a poster show in Santa Croce sull’Arno with Italian Poster Rock Art expo – IPRA – with many many of Italy’s best and brightest rock poster artists in attendance.
I’ll follow this with a visit to Genoa, to the Taxi Driver Record store, for an expo and printmaking workshop – events in Genoa will last for three days. And to add to the awesomeness, Kepi Ghoulie of the Groovie Ghoulies is going to join me in Genoa for an art show and acoustic rock set. Kepi is an old friend from Sacramento, and it’s a huge surprise to have the opportunity to run around with him in Italy.
I’ll go to La Spezia next, together with Kepi and Sara Twinn and Massimo Perasso of Ghandi’s Gunn to enjoy an art show together with Kepi Ghoulie at the Club Shake run by Peawee’s front man Hervé Peroncini.

The Black Keys, Oracle Arena, Oakland
I’ve updated this post with images below of the actual poster. The digital image which was previously in this post is at the bottom of this post (should you like to reference it).
FYI – I sometimes post a digital image before I have a chance to photograph the actual poster. This digital image is used to create the poster and is used to show the band what I will make – before I make it. When possible, I like to show the actual photograph, like the one just below, so people can actually see what the poster looks like. Enough said. The show was awesome last night!

“They wanna get my
Gold on the Ceiling
I aint blind
It’s just a matter of time
Before you steal it
It’s alright
Aint no guard in my house.”
I’ve been playing Gold On The Ceiling – and it’s become a sort of theme song.
With the Firehouse’s innovation of the use of Gold and Silver metallic inks, which we started using almost 18 years ago,
the gold on the ceiling lyrics have a special place in my heart. The Black Keys are written across the gold ceiling in my poster.
I also created a custom Black Keys wallpaper and dress pattern which works throughout the design:
