Chuck Sperry’s “Grateful Mahalo” Wins Poster of the Year 2021, “Helena” Wins Art Print of the Year 2021

Expressobeans members have voted my poster “Grateful Mahalo” and my art print “Helena” – Poster of the Year 2021, and Art Print of the Year 2021. I’m stunned and grateful to have won both honors!

My “Grateful Mahalo with Bill Kreutzmann and Billy Strings” poster celebrated Bill Kreutzmann’s 75th Birthday party in Kauai, Hawaii with an all-star band (Bill Kreutzmann, Billy Strings, Tom Hamilton, Reed Mathis, Aron Magner, James Casey, and special guest Carlos Santana). My poster was released through Fans.live and through Spoke Art – both employing a lottery system to accommodate the monumental demand for this print.

My art print “Helena” was previewed in Paris at l’Oeil Ouvert Gallery and in Geneva at Next Door Gallery, and released by Hashimoto Contemporary at Context Art Miami during Art Basel Week 2021. 

Thank you for the multiple honors! My thanks to everyone who supported me through this very challenging time. Your support, help, confidence and belief in my vision has helped me find the courage to meet the challenges of this year. 2020 and 2021 taught me an appreciation of the simple grace a creative life can offer, and dared me to dig deep to pursue my dreams, thank you for your support!

Looking Forward in 2022, A Grateful Mahalo


Here are two of my top posters from last year. (Please take a visit to the definitive poster website www.Expressobeans.com and place your vote for Poster of the Year.)

2021 was a big year for me, full of strong rock posters and desirable art prints and panels and blockbusting shows (art and rock). I’m so very grateful for my supporters and friends who made this most difficult pandemic year into an inspiring journey of creation and new directions.

Hashimoto Contemporary featured my work at Context Art Miami / Art Basel, and swiftly sold out all. Thanks to the gallery, it’s amazing curators and staff – but more importantly – thank you for your support, traveling from all points to be there!

Back home from France to San Francisco. Happy to kick off 2022. I’m excited by the projects in planning! 

I’m eagerly awaiting – and preparing for – my sweeping retrospective exhibition at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. Can’t wait to see everybody, and share new works, pay tribute to all the work that brought me to today, participate in discussions and workshops. I’ll be showing up in Indiana with some surprises!

Lastly, Color x Color will be presented in a third edition (two editions having sold out), each and every stunning page, still at 752 pages. I’m grateful for it’s success, and your reception of it! Thanks to the kind reviews and support of the San Francisco Chronicle, KQED Arts, Juxtapoz, Hi-Fructose, 7×7 — Having reached the #1 spot on Amazon in Individual Artist Monographs, #2 in Printmaking, and #4 in Rock Music, Color x Color matches the successes of the big publishers by every measure, and that is due to you my supporters!

All my books are again available for you to take home HERE on my website and HERE on Amazon worldwide.

Pythia, 2021
30 x 22.5
Edition of 250
7 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

“Pythia” will be available at New York Comic Con at Spoke Art booth 1572 starting Thursday when doors open.
Spoke Art will make a very limited online release on the following Thursday, October 14, 2021. 

I am pleased to announce that I will be releasing my newest art print, “Pythia”, at Spoke Art’s live appearance at New York Comic Con this coming weekend. 

The New York Comic Convention has been a great forum to release new muses. I released “Clio” (2019), “Truth” & “Beauty” (2018), “Demeter” (2017), “Dryad” (2016), and “Justice” (2014) at NYCC through all through Spoke Art – all signature, highly desirable prints. My wood panel art print of “Justice” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2017. My large-scale, hand-woven tapestry of “Demeter” was acquired by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art in 2018. I love this electrical arc between popular art and fine art institution.
