Widespread Panic Oakland Poster

I would like to give a huge thank you to the hundreds of fans who lined up starting on Thursday morning until the opening on Friday noon for my Open House and Widespread Panic poster retrospective. I am very thankful to my friends, Carlos Hernandez and John Hancock, who came from Texas to make a wonderful print demonstration sponsored by Speedball Inks. Special Guest Bill Ham, thank you for your wonderful light painting installation and participation. I am grateful for the awesome staff who watched the door, manned the booth, and kept the spirit upbeat and really fun! I’ll be posting photos of the event this coming week – and yes! – photos of the variant editions – soon!

_______________
In my print “In Dreams, David Lynch” I made subtle reference to Milton Glaser’s portrait of Bob Dylan with my treatment of Mr. Lynch’s hair.  I slanted the tonality of this portrait toward monochrome to reflect David Lynch’s groundbreaking early black and white films Eraserhead andThe Elephant Man. I made this choice to refer, not only to David Lynch’s legendary and iconographic status as a cultural oracle, but also as homage to Mr. Glaser and to my artistic roots in rock’n’roll printmaking.
