I’d like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one who came to share the fun at my “Don’t Panic” Open House on July 15, 2016. Thanks to all my friends who came, and especially all my friends who pitched in to help! Huge thanks to the band – it was awesome getting time to hang out a little together! Appreciate your time and generosity – and crew – everyone was so generous and hospitable – special thanks to Ben Draper for rolling out the red carpet, and Paul Hoffman for the amazing light show! Ben, Derrick, Jon, JC, Kenny, Brian – you guys ruled! Special thanks to Matt and Sunny for a great blotter art show! Thanks to Alan Kaufman and Ron Turner at Last Gasp, for a successful “Outlaw Bible of American Art” book release! What a fantastic afternoon and night of rock music!

Here’s an excerpt from Joshua Huver’s article announcing my show in “The Bay Bridged”:

“Widespread Panic, a sextet that consists of John “JB” Bell and Jimmy Herring on guitar, John “JoJo” Hermann on keys, Domingo S. Ortiz on percussion, Dave Schools on bass and Duane Trucks reprising his role as drummer, have a strong “home” advantage in the Bay. Though they’re not from here, one of the most direct reasons for the deep connection between Widespread Panic and the Bay Area is in large thanks to the Haight-Ashbury artist Chuck Sperry, whose 15+ years of illustrating fine art silk screens for concert posters has had some of his most memorable work featured for Panic prints. So much so that on Friday July 15, from noon-6pm, Sperry will be hosting the 3rd Annual Open House at Hangar 18, the Oakland studio where Sperry’s works are born. This will be a farewell any fan of soulfully southern jam-rock will not want to miss.”

I’m very happy to announce, my Third Annual Open House at Hangar 18 Studio Gallery on Friday, July 15 from 12 noon to 6 pm.

I won’t be revealing my Widespread Panic, Fox Theater, Oakland 2016 poster just yet. That’s a surprise reserved for the band at the concert!

Let’s get together for a celebration! I’d love to welcome the Widespread Panic family to Oakland, California and give everyone a warm welcome to the my studio. This is a great opportunity to visit the print studio that gave birth to some of your favorite posters for your favorite band. I’ll be making a Widespread Panic art show, an exclusive showing of my art prints on oak panel, with some special prints, rarities, and surprises available!

We will be giving people random numbers at the door at 11 am, so overnight camping is not encouraged.

I am very proud to announce my invited guest curator, Shakedown Gallery, at Hangar 18 Studio/Gallery. Shakedown will present a blotter art exhibition at my Hangar 18 “Don’t Panic” Open House. The display will be partially historical retrospective and partially focused on new artist release editions.

In honor of the occasion, Shakedown Gallery will be releasing five blotter art prints of five classic Chuck Sperry designs.

Chuck Sperry’s “Orange Sunshine” design is from the “Signs of Change, Art of the Firehouse” show at Varnish Fine Art in San Francisco an early 2009 release that seemed ready made for blotter art.

Made especially for the Don’t Panic show, Chuck will also be releasing his “I’d Love To Turn You On” Beatle Blotter set.

Each blotter print will be a limited edition of 100 pieces, signed and numbered by the artist.

The designs are printed on 80# unbleached cotton with vegetable based inks with 1/4″ perforations. They’re available individually or as sets with matching numbers.

There will also be APs of each design and a small number of prints from the numbered edition will be held back for later release on shakedowngallery.com.
