Cypress Hill at The Warfield 420

cypresshill_chucksperry1

Sometimes you get an idea and just have to go for it. So it was with Cypress Hill at the Warfield on April 20, 2010.

I printed 125 burlap sacks – of varying “quality.” I’ll put it this way, burlap is an unforgiving print substrate. It’s not exactly smooth. A lot of the fine detail was lost. All the crucial information on the poster is legible, yes, and it does look like a kilo bag of weed, and it’s pretty much funny as hell.

Feel free to fill it up with whatever you like and put it on the kitchen spice rack. Guaranteed conversation piece.

Comes with a silkscreen printed handbill sized tag (see tag below)

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.
