I want to welcome a lot of newcomers to my site! I’ll quickly explain how my releases on my website are conducted. The Gary Clark Jr. poster will be available, right here, in this post on Monday, July 22, 2019 at a random time. A paypal “Buy Now” button will appear under the poster (above) at a random time. I will announce the price of the poster at the same time. The variant, its price and button will also appear here at the same time. Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!

The inspiration is Hespera – associated with the golden light of the setting sun and the evening star – one of the Hesperides, the nymphs of the western-most islands and guardians of the golden apples.

My newest print for Gary Clark Jr. on my press and coming together through my hands. Yes, this machine fights alienation. Producing my art through every step of the process connects me to myself, to this world of things, and to you, my friend. I’d never choose another way. Normally I don’t preach – because I am confident my art expresses its concepts effectively – but I am grateful and inspired to be back in my studio in creative practice! – Chuck Sperry

KQED Arts: Nonprofit Developer To Save Community Of Tenants & Murals In Redstone Building By Barry McGee, Chuck Sperry, Ruby Neri, Carolyn Castaño

KQED Arts • June 26, 2019 • by Sam Lefebvre

1934 General Strike Meeting at the Redstone Building (1997) by Chuck Sperry

[Excerpt from KQED Arts, full article below]

The San Francisco Labor Temple opened in 1914, and for decades played a key role in the city’s labor movement. It was the headquarters for unions including Bookbinders’ Local 125, the first all-women union, and in 1934 was the nexus of a historic general strike. The building sold in 1968, gradually acquiring its current mix of arts, social services and cultural advocacy tenants.

In the 1990s, the Lab and the Clarion Alley Mural Project commissioned artists including Barry McGee, Chuck Sperry and Carolyn Castaño to paint murals commemorating the building’s legacy of labor organizing and community service. One of the city’s only publicly viewable artworks by the late Mission School artist Margaret Kilgallen is the Lab’s hand-painted sign.

Dena Beard, executive director of the Lab, described the murals as a prescient collection of the Mission School, a movement associated with unconventional materials, everyday forms and social commentary. “Every piece is really indicative of the artists’ styles at the time,” Beard said. “It was major recognition for what we now consider a hugely important movement.”
