Mickey Hart Band “Worlds Within” Poster Wins Award

MICY-HART-WEB

 

My Mickey Hart “Worlds Within” Tour poster has won Poster of the Week on Expressobeans. And with that news I want to show you the finished poster. A huge thanks to all of my supporters, you rock!

This is some of the most insane – some might say, most difficult – printing I’ve ever done. There is a lot of color-to-color registration, and texture effects galore, happening on this one. I’m thrilled with the result!

I just delivered the prints, and ordered Mr. Hart’s people enough heavy Yazoo Mills tubes to ship their orders. Today the crew at Hangar 18 gave Mickey Hart’s shippers a very thorough tutorial on my shipping methods. I’m so proud of this one I am doing everything possible to get the to you in the best possible condition!

Tonight’s Soundgarden poster is the first of a pair of posters for the Fox Theater in downtown Oakland printed by me with the awesome assistance of Chris Shaw at Hangar 18. I always have a great time working with Chris; there’s a lot of history between us, and we have always co-operated and taken on collaborative creative projects so well. I was contacted by Soundgarden to find a friend artist and create a pair of Soundgarden Fox Theater posters – the exact words were “Sister Prints” – both to be printed at my art studio, Hangar 18.

My Soundgarden Sister riffs on Soundgarden’s King Animal album title. I wanted to bring a sense of humanity’s domination of nature. By representing power and privilege, my Sister holds a mink stole by a gold chain through the pelted mink’s nose, and with rock hands. I created an intricate pattern to weave throughout the design using the album cover motifs:

Mickey Hart Band – Worlds Within Tour Poster

HART-TOUR-POSTER-WEB

Mickey Hart Band Worlds Within Tour Poster
by Chuck Sperry
25.5 x 23
Edition of 325
10 colors on archival cream paper
Signed and Numbered
________________
Poster is available in a limited pre-order on Mickey Hart’s website, and will be available through Mickey Hart Band on their tour.
________________
Here’s my latest poster for Mickey Hart Band. I spent some time thinking about Mr. Hart’s manifold talents and interests to create this poster. The figure contemplates a cosmic egg. She’s also in the egg. I wanted to describe micro and macro cosmic worlds which follows from the discussion I had with Mickey’s people. Also, living in the Haight in the wake of the psychedelic world created by Mickey’s music, this is an expression of contemplating, creating and inhabiting imaginary universes.
________________
I’ll make a very limited release of this poster here on my website when the tour is over. Stay tuned.
