Steve Miller Band Poster Wins Award
My Steve Miller Band poster won Poster of the Week on Expressobeans. I appreciate it! A nice surprise for a rainy day.
Also, I’ll be happy to see everyone who can make the very first Free University Art School presentation at Viracocha, 998 Valencia at 21st Street on Sunday, March 6, 2 to 4 pm. Chris Shaw, Ron Donovan and I will be showing posters, discussing our work, and conducting a demonstration in silkscreen printmaking.
Free University of San Francisco, School of Art
The Free University of San Francisco aims to make the highest level of education available, completely free, to any individual who wants it, regardless of color, creed, age, gender, nationality, religion or immigration status—a university free of money, taught for free. The only requirement for membership is a desire to teach and/or a desire to learn.
We believe that the purpose of education is not to turn the student into a better consumer and profit-earner but to help him or her to discover the wealth of human culture upon whose shoulders she or he stands. What we share at the Free University of San Francisco is a passionate determination to see the restoration of humanity—warm, literate, democratic—to vibrant human life. And in order to achieve this aim we have taken hold of the very hub of our culture, which is education, in order to create a brand new kind of institution, one whose existence makes no sense in the current social order, one that stands in direct defiance of the privatized profit-oriented social engineering centers that pass for universities today.
We are the Free University of San Francisco and we are rebels of knowledge.
This course will offer courses, lectures and demonstrations in the field of visual arts, those arts which seek to enlighten, inform and entertain with common sense imagination in populist mediums.
Sunday, March 6, 2pm – to – 4 pm • Chuck Sperry, Ron Donovan, Chris Shaw
Sunday, March 27, 2pm – to – 4 pm • Winston Smith

Poster will be made available by Austin City Limits at the live taping for Steve Miller Band on Saturday, February 26, 2011 at The Moody Theater.
Mark Pedini gave me the opportunity to make a poster for rock legend Steve Miller Band for his live appearance on the television program “Austin City Limits” on Saturday, February 26, 2011. What immediately comes to mind for Steve Miller is Stanley Mouse’s Pegasus logo, so with Stanley Mouse “the man who drew the face on rock music” inspiring me, I looked for another archetypical big rock image to chrome-up Steve Miller Band with, and landed on the scarab. The scarab rolls Ra the sun across the sky each day and transforms bodies and souls, meanwhile, Steve Miller rises every day like the sun from a 1,000,000 radios. I colored the Ra symbol with psychedelic EyeFry blue and magenta, and overprinted with two separate coats of very translucent interference blue which catches the light ever so delicately and refracts in prismatic rainbow sparks, ever so gently slanted toward blue. I’ve included two detail photos below.
