I will be making a very limited release of the Artist Edition and variants of my Widespread Panic Red Rocks poster on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 at a random time.

Widespread Panic Summer Solstice weekend at Red Rocks, three days of incredible music under the stars.

Look up! Let me show you my favorite constellation, the Corona Borealis, the crown of stars, the god of wine and song Dionysus set high in the heavens to express his immortal love for the kind beauty Ariadne.

In some tellings of her story, the shining crown was made by the fiery blacksmith Hephaestus — the ever hardworking artist — and given to Ariadne by Venus because she favored her grace and gentle spirit.

Ariadne lent the bright crown of stars and a fine unbreakable thread to clever Theseus to help him escape the labyrinth after slaying the Minotaur and saving the children of Athens — poor imperfect democracy — from the evil beast.

Lot’s of reasons to love the starry Corona Borealis, but mostly because it crowns Widespread Panic for three beautiful nights of friends, family, and the music at Red Rocks. Enjoy!

Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!

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.

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” :
