Public Image Limited. I’m speechless. John Lydon loved the poster and signed one for me – “To Chuck – John Rotten was here!!” They ripped!

I’ll be framing that one for my wall.

Passion Pit at The Warfield

I love it when the band gets the poster! When you have a discussion with the band over a piece and they say stuff like, “by far the best poster we’ve ever gotten,” “gritty and classy at the same time,” “I never hang up my band posters in my house, but this one goes up.” It’s Total Print Victory.

Then we had a cool discussion about the graffiti and how it somehow looks like Japanese characters. Pointed out that I gave shout outs to all my friends – Dave Hunter’s TRPS logo, Zoltron, Political Gridlock, and Ribbity (one of my favorite SF Graf artists).

Hangar 18 represents on an SF bus while the central figure “tunes out” with ipod in an introspective mood. Somehow all this technology still leaves us listening to our inner voice – even when blasting music.

Just a reminder – the Firehouse-Goldenvoice Poster Series is getting veeeery close to number 100.

Here’s a preview of my newest poster, featuring one of my Evil Masonic Voodoo Zombies contemplating his Mojo whilst clutching a classic phonograph record to his boney heartless chest. Portrait of the Undead and Doomed in his Drawing Room, sporting a suave smoking jacket and mysterious Fez of the Condemned and Illuminated.
