“I know you want this poster NOW, my little dearest, but you’ll have to wait.”

This poster was available at the show through Primus (Did you like how we kept that a secret until show time? Wonka was keeping an eye on some naughty children who always plan on making away with all the Gobstoppers!)
_______________
Due to my preparations for my solo show at Spoke Art Gallery – opening on November 29, 2014 (I will be making very limited wood panel art editions for Spoke / and showing some of my rarest and finest rock posters at Hashimoto Contemporary – all in one fun night) –
All my dearest sweets will have to wait until Wonka makes a very limited online release of my Primus poster and it’s variants on November 30, 2014 at a random time.

IOWA-FLUO
Widespread Panic asked me to do a pair of posters for their Fall Tour 2014, and I wanted to do something different. I love the challenge of doing two, or three, or four related posters. The prospect of doing two posters that relate to each other is an exciting creative challenge. For fans of Widespread Panic posters I’ve become well-known for my series of long locked, flower laden “Ladies” for the band. This diptych of posters for Widespread Panic’s 2014 Fall Tour gigs in Cedar Rapids and Ames, Iowa concentrates on the flowers — no lady.
–
These posters are a gift to the band, like the flowers thoughtful folks bring to performers after the show, a thank you for rocking the house down to the ground — or like the flowers thrown on stage, gathered up and arranged in a pitcher like a beautiful memory. I hope I’m expressing the feeling of a Widespread Panic night in 9 bright psychedelic colors — some fluorescent eye-fry and some shimmering metallic. Flowers have long been a classic subject for the artist. I am seeking to create a pop poster that hides all the information in the subject image of the poster itself.
