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.

Here’s a recent poster – in Case you’ve missed this one …

Neko Case played at The Warfield in San Francisco, California on June 9th with Jason Lytle and June 10th with Imaad Wasif. I designed a 4 color silkscreen gig poster printed on eco-friendly archival cream paper (Never turn your back on mother earth). This poster measures 23.75″ x 30″ and comes from an edition of 180, signed and numbered. I’m an animal, but if you’re counting, this poster is #44 in the Firehouse Goldenvoice poster series. Purchase one now before the middle cyclone blows them all away.

Fight Homelessness Poster by Chuck Sperry

chucksperryabbepierre“3.5 Million Inadequately Housed in France: What if Rock was engaged on their side?”

POSTER WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE LATER IN AUGUST – A PORTION OF PROCEEDS TO GO TO ABBE PIERRE FOUNDATION.

Earlier this summer I was asked to donate a rock poster design for the Abbe Pierre Foundation in France on the subject of Homelessness. The idea was to raise awareness at rock shows that 3,500,000 people are homeless or inadequately housed in France. These posters will go out all over France at 5 international music festivals to inspire people to sign Abbe Pierre’s Anti-Homelessness manifesto.

Abbe Pierre, a Catholic priest, was a tireless Conscientious Objector in France, fought in the Resistance during World War II, and saved many Jews and Political Undesirables from Concentration Camps. After the War, Abbe Pierre organized The Emmaus Movement, an international organization aimed at helping the Poor, Homeless and Refugeed.

In the 1990’s Abbe Pierre called real estate developers “salopards” (assholes), and joined in the taking of unoccupied buildings in France for the poor, undocumented and homeless.

Abbe Pierre is one of the most popular figures in France; he fought for homeless rights since 1949.
