I am very happy to announce the release of my poster to raise awareness for the Equal Rights Amendment. This issue means so much to me. Equality is the central issue of our day.

“Equality is the flower of democracy. Passing the Equal Rights Amendment — at long last — will be the path to gender equality for our American democracy. I am grateful to be called upon to include my voice in the collective call to bring about gender equality by amending the Constitution with passage of the ERA, and I was quick to reach out to fellow artists to join the call to action.”  — Chuck Sperry, artist statement for Artists 4 ERA

VoteEqualityUS is a nonpartisan grassroots effort promoting equal rights for all Americans, working to ensure the addition of the fully-ratified 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) to the United States Constitution. 

I created my ERA poster to intentionally refer to my art print, Clio, the Muse of history, daughter of memory. I suggest we remember where we came from, how we got here, who we are, and where we are going. History is not only a collection of objective facts; history is also a story. How we organize those objective facts says a lot about who we are, or who we want to be.

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.
