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.

It’s January in San Francisco. The chill is starting to let go; the days get a little longer … and here comes the annual Edwardian Ball to entertain and amaze San Francisco’s creative nightlife, and jumpstart the year. This Edwardian dress-up party is clearly one of the very best events of it’s kind, and I’m very happy to make cool Edwardian Ball art for organizer Justin Katz every year. It’s always fun to try and top the preceding year’s effort – to do something really unusual and well-made, beautiful and over-the-top. This year, decked out for street attack aka “Squirt” I made this graffiti-style, billboard-sized wall piece for the event (measuring in at 8 feet by 5 feet), which is proudly hanging on the facade of the Regency Ballroom all weekend, facing San Francisco’s busiest thoroughfare, Van Ness. So you really can not get better placement, and sorry people, that’s a one of a kind. Here’s Edwardian Ball’s head-honcho, Justin Katz, digging my street piece right after installation:

Sum 41 Poster

I’ve had a really rewarding start for 2013! I moved my new semi-automatic silkscreen press into the studio on Monday. I’ve already fired this baby up and it’s going to be sweet! Meanwhile, I’m building in a gallery / showroom into the entrance of my Hangar 18 Studio, the new H18 Gallery. I’m really looking forward to showing my work and others as the year progresses. More to announce later. So 2013 is taking off in fine shape. And while all this was going on, I got to work on this beautiful Sum 41 poster, number 173 in the Firehouse Goldenvoice Poster Series, a simian astronaut, rendered in brilliant gold and silver metallic subtly tinted with blues and purples. This one shines!
