Widespread Panic Celebrating 40 Years Poster Release

I am deeply honored to have been commissioned by Relix to join the magazine and the band’s fans in celebrating Widespread Panic’s 40th legendary year! I created the cover for a new special edition softcover book celebrating four indelibly epic decades of Widespread Panic, packed with interviews, rare photos, and historical perspectives on one of rock’n’roll’s most important live touring bands.

I turned my Widespread Panic book cover art into this evocative poster design – to ring in Panic’s epic 40th birthday – and now I’m making my Artist Editions available to my friends and supporters!

I will make a limited online launch of my artist editions of Widespread Panic Celebrating 40 Years posters through EQL opening on Tuesday, September 22, 2026 at 9 am PST. The launch closes on Wednesday, September 23, 2026 at 9 pm PST.

“Sought by our fans, the art of Chuck Sperry is some of their best loved… even the band members request personal signed copies of his posters. Chuck’s work is clean and colorful, the kind of imagery that can be seen from a mile away. His “Ladies,” as they have been dubbed, are highly prized among all of his beautiful creations… And just as the six members of Widespread Panic support the musical ideas of each other onstage we are honored to have the work of Chuck Sperry representing our sound in your eyes.”
— Dave Schools, Widespread Panic

Chuck Sperry’s 311 Poster Wins Award

My 311 Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

I was commissioned by 311 to create a poster commemorating their show at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, Irving, Texas.

My poster shows Kallirhoe nymph of the spring, in ancient Athens, that flows from a shady bank into the Ilissos River.  The lush shores of the Ilissos near Kallirhoe were peaceful, idyllic, even Socrates preferred this very spot to teach.

Kallirhoe means “beautiful flow” – and I think that describes the perfect night out to see your favorite band.

Kallirhoe, a maiden of wondrous beauty … 
for her beauty was not merely human but divine
—not that of Nereid or mountain nymph, 
but of Aphrodite herself.
—Chariton

“Danaïde” wears early spring flowers and carries her terracotta amphora decorated with the winged horse Pegasus. As Pegasus stamps the earth, so bursts a spring; as Hippocrene flows on Mt Helicon, so flows inspiration from the source of the muses.

The myth of the 50 Danaïdes, condemned for all eternity to toil, to endlessly carry water to fill a leaking vessel. Sisyphus fated to bear his heavy stone uphill, only to lose his burden near the hilltop, and to begin again. 

This is our struggle for equal rights, for our democracy. To paraphrase Albert Camus: the struggle itself — to continually work to fill the leaking jar — is enough to fill her heart. One must imagine the Danaïdes happy.
