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.

Number 49 in the Firehouse Goldenvoice series, shows us a reckless, hellbound outlaw tearing up the everything in his way as he blazes down to Clutch, Baroness and Lionize at The Regency. The show ripped! Baroness was wicked cool playing their “Red Album” bathed in red stage-lights. Had to pick up John Baizley’s silkscreen print of the album cover art from “Red.” Clutch was massive, tight and better than ever. A great ol’ rock’n’roll show deserving of a great monster motorcycle poster.

Kepi – Chixdiggit – Head Poster
by Chuck Sperry
Kepi Ghoulie came by the house today for a quick coffee on the way to the airport to pick up Chixdiggit. He loved my poster!
Kepi said it’s just the sort of monster-y stuff he absolutely loves. Here’s my portrait of Lon Chaney – Man of a Thousand Faces – from one of his greatest films, “London After Midnight.” Kepi had a great story; he told me he once went to the house of “Famous Monsters” editor, the late great Forest Ackerman, who actually had the teeth Lon Chaney wore in this very film – in a jar by his bed.
These shows are a special treat – so make sure you get to one or all of the three very special concerts with Kepi Ghoulie Electric – Chixdiggit and Head!

The Zeros played the Elbow Room for a very special reunion show, and what a reunion it was! The show was packed, so there wasn’t even any elbow room in the Elbow Room.
Good to see Mario Escovedo (x-Dragons) who was road managing for his brother in The Zeros, and hadasked me to do this poster a few weeks ago. Rapped out with Courtney from the Demonics. Christian from Triclops who was cheering on bandmate Johnny, playing with the Fleshies.Spoke to Penelope Houston from The Avengers for a couple of minutes about the Rock Poster Documentary, “American Artifact.”
The show was kind of a reunion of the Incredibly Strange Wrestling crowd, mashed up withthe SF Punk 77 crew. So it was a treat to see Bret Kibele, the original ISW organizer, who along with Audra Morse gave me my first poster jobs for Incredibly Strange Wrestling back in 1995.
