Editors, Antlers, The Dig at The Warfield

editors_chucksperry1

The Editors, Antlers and The Dig put on a great show. Enjoyed thoroughly!

–

When I began to meditate on the idea of an Editors poster I began by thinking of all the writer friends I have out there thrashing out ideas against the background of the cold infinite and warm divine. I was tweaked on the ass by the good old Existentialist Albert Camus and his edict that “the absurd is the essential concept and the first truth.” So I poured out this design in heavy metallic blue and metallic red with a deep blue tint. Against a backdrop of the depths of space, the ever present modularity of the keyboard of modern reality.

Jerry Joseph at the Mercury Lounge, Goleta, CA

JERRYJOSEPH _chucksperry

Here’s a preview for my poster for the ever cool Jerry Joseph on January 28 at the Mercury Lounge in Goleta, California.

Jerry plays solo, with his rock band the Jackmormons, and with The Stockholm Syndrome. He’s played around with Vic Chesnutt, Pete Droge and Dave Schools of Widespread Panic. On this solo tour he’ll be playing songs from his recently released album, “Into The Lovely.”

–

“Into The Lovely” features a who’s who of Portland musicians including Jennee Connlee (The Decemberists) on keyboards, Willy Vlautin (Richmond Fontaine) on vocals, Steve Drizos on percussion, Mike Lewis, Pat Kearns and Joseph’s co-hort from his Little Women days, Steve James, on guitar.

Edwardian Ball at The Regency

edwardianball_chucksperry11

Here’s my poster for the Edwardian Ball which will be celebrated at the Regency Ballroom on January 22 & 23, 2010.

I went for a retro Edwardian era style (1900-1910) with an influence from Gustav Klimt. Since I’m using a lot of metallic inks, I resonate with Klimt’s use of “bling” in his art.

I’ll be releasing this poster here on my site on Sunday.

Here’s some pictures of the actual print. You can see the paper is textured like watercolor paper.

Join a magical outdoors-indoor symphony of music, theatre, dance, art, storytelling, circus arts, fashion, technology, and, of course, the art & stories of Edward Gorey.”

umphreysmcgee_chucksperry2

I’m really happy to report that my Umphrey’s McGee poster won Expresso Beans Poster of the Week.

Great way to start 2010. Thanks to everyone for your support!

Congratulations to Aaron Horkey and Emek for winning 2009 Poster of the Year for their combined effort. I’ve come a long way in one year. I feel that the number two spot for my Widespread Panic poster reflects a positive change. I’ll keep kicking out the cool posters you just have to have for 2010.
