Chuck Sperry’s Gary Clark Jr Poster Release with EQL

Gary Clark Jr., Hollywood Bowl 2024
35 x 22
Edition of 500
6 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

Concert goers were treated to a very special evening of Gary Clark Jr.’s virtuosic, soulful musicianship at the illustrious Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday. I was inspired to create Mr. Clark’s portrait for the poster, basing my stylized likeness on a gorgeous photo by Frank Maddocks, and seizing the opportunity to weave my signature floral patterns in gold, copper, and rich earth tones throughout.

I will make a limited online launch of my Gary Clark Jr. poster and its variants through EQL opening on Friday, August 23, 2024 at 6 pm PST. The launch closes on Monday, August 26, 2024 at 6 pm PST. The ballot will be open for 72 hours. As long as you enter during this timeframe, time of entry does not impact your chances of purchase.

There will be four live launches: 1 launch for each print edition (regular, silver, sparkle foil, lava foil).
You are free to register once for each launch. Multiple entries per launch will be penalized.
You may only win 1 poster from all the live launches within this 72 hour period. One per household.

Anyone who has listened to a Gary Clark Jr. album or watched the four-time Grammy Award winner perform live knows that he’s a gifted multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and performer. And never more so than on his last album, 2019’s illuminating This Land. But while This Land signaled a breakthrough in displaying his musical versatility beyond the blues, his latest album, JPEG RAW, represents a quantum leap.

As he prepares now for the release of JPEG RAW, what does Clark want listeners to take away from his forthcoming album? “Breathe,” he urges. “Then go outside and listen to the birds as you look up at the sky. Appreciate the things you do have. Hopefully, the album resonates with positivity and hope. It’s really not about me, so take me out of the equation. This is yours now.”

Come, and trip it, as you go,
On the light fantastic toe;
And in thy right hand lead with thee
The mountain-nymph, sweet Liberty;
And, if I give thee honour due,
Mirth, admit me of thy crew,
To live with her, and live with thee,
In unreproved pleasures free
