I just got back from hand delivering the posters for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ homecoming show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The beauty of hand delivery, is that I got to see the show. I took visiting Argentine artist Alan Berry Rhys and his girlfriend Emilia Carranza with me to the show. We had a blast and what an excellent show!

Sun Ra Arkestra opened and also came out on stage with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros for an amazing encore with no less than 25 people on stage (at least). I created my poster with an intricate and elegant arrangement of flowers, printing a very heavy metallic silver on black linen paper, and delicately tinting the silver with translucent colors. The details are very fine and the registration was exceptionally difficult, but the result made me very happy! I wanted to express the ensemble nature of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (and Sun Ra Arkestra – for that matter) where there is no compositional center but all the intricate parts naturally combine to make art that is beautiful – like a bouquet of luminous flowers. It’s an expression of the idea of participatory democracy, a political notion and a musical theory, evident in the musical structure of Edward Sharpe and the Magentic Zeros and Sun Ra Arkestra. But then again, it’s only rock and roll and I like it!
