“Moonalice For Health” Poster

moon194

There’s a spirit in the air that inspired me to take a 1930’s era WPA Project poster for the Milk Industry and détourné it’s message to get people to the Moonalice show in Sebastopol, California at The Hop Monk Tavern on August 14, 2009.

Moonalice legend says that drinking Howling Monkey or Hop Monk’s fine beer while listening to Moonalice in the good clean air of Northern California leads to Good Teeth, Vitality, Endurance & Strong Bones!

In addition to these words of wisdom from Moonalice legend, let’s read what the wikipedia says:

• “In détournement, an artist reuses elements of well-known media to create a new work with a different message, often one opposed to the original. The term “détournement”, borrowed from the French, originated with the Situationist International; a similar term more familiar to English speakers would be “turnabout” or “derailment”. Détournement is similar to satirical parody, but employs more direct reuse or faithful mimicry of the original works rather than constructing a new work which merely alludes strongly to the original.”

The English Beat / Reel Big Fish Poster

TheEnglishBeatSperry

I confess, I’ve always loved The English Beat. Judging from the packed house on Monday, August 3, 2009, I’m not alone. My poster goes retro, mixing my metaphors with Vienna Secession Style, the Glasgow Arts and Crafts Movement and early-1960’s retro cool: going 2 Tone in three color. A solid gold poster for Firehouse Goldenvoice number 54.

Ran into Rudy (Can’t Fail) Fernandez, at the show who was there to meet with front man Dave Wakeling. Rudy met the Clash in the late 70’s, driving Joe, Mick and co. around California during their first tour, and since then, there isn’t an English musician Rudy doesn’t know. Rudy introduced me and Dave Wakeling, so having a conversation with the famed singer was a treat. Subject of conversation: American Artifact, the rock poster documentary by Merle Becker that Dave and I appear in. His comment, “Seems this poster thing is very San Francisco.”

“It’s my bag, man,”

Don’t save it for later, because this one just can’t stop.
