Taking as a starting point the poster designed by Ames Design on the occasion of the first visit of Pearl Jam to the city of Barcelona, we wanted to compile all the posters of their visits to both Barcelona and the rest of Spain. The show is completed with a series of special posters throughout the 28-year career of the Seattle band, and the objects that their fans have been collecting over the years.

World Press: Nick Cave Releases Insanely Cool New Grinderman Inspired Skateboard Designed by Chuck Sperry
by James Rettig, April 17, 2018 • Billboard
Back in 2015, Nick Cave teamed up with the Australian skate company Fast Times to make an official Nick Cave skateboard, with an illustration from San Francisco artist Chuck Sperry.
That same trio of collaborators has teamed up yet again for another board. This one’s inspired by “Heathen Child,” a song from Cave’s side project Grinderman. A banner on the top of the board features some lyrics from that track: “Hey little Moo Moo, light as a rainbow.”
The board comes in street and cruiser deck styles, and there’s also a t-shirt to go along with it — you can now order any of those world-wide from Fast Times Skateboarding here.
Here’s a select list of links to articles dropping everywhere in the world press:

This is one of many insanely cool projects I’ve collaborated with Nick Cave on. In addition to a number of beautiful rock posters I’ve made for Mr. Cave, Nick was kind enough to contribute his lyrics from “The Lyre of Orpheus” from “Abbatoir Blues” to my collection of art and poetry, “Helikon, The Muses of Chuck Sperry” :
Create Magazine: “Heaven of Many a Tangled Hue” Sperry solo at Spoke Art SF until April 28
Heaven of Many a Tangled Hue
a solo show by Chuck Sperry
April 7 – 28, 2018
Spoke SF is pleased to present “Heaven of Many a Tangled Hue”, a solo exhibition by the prolific San Francisco-based artist and master screen printer Chuck Sperry. For his third solo exhibition with Spoke Art, Sperry has created a verdant garden of new work tended by his signature shimmering muses.
Informed by art historical figures such as Gustave Moreau and William Morris, combined with the poetry of P.B. Shelley, Greek Mythology and his home in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood of San Francisco, Chuck Sperry has cultivated a distinct style brimming with exuberance and energy. Combined with his masterful printing expertise, Sperry creates ethereal and psychedelically saturated screen prints that draw crowds and dedicated fans around the world.
Creating work for musicians such as The Who, Patti Smith and The Black Keys in addition to his fine art screen prints on panel, Chuck Sperry has also used his artwork for social activism and change. The artist describes his political participation – “Freedom of Speech is our most powerful weapon, and it’s a driving force in my art.”
The exhibition will be on view through Saturday, April 28th.
