Each year since 1916 in the middle of June motorcyclists have rallied in the hundreds to Lake Winnipesaukee, New Hampshire, making Laconia Bike Week the world’s oldest motorcycle rally. The Avett Brothers show at Gilford a mile or two down the road on Friday, June 12, 2015 kicks off bike week, and nothing goes better with the freedom of riding, than a great rock show!

As an interesting aside, as an artist, I have often come across moments when the images I create come to life. This synchronicity has happened with the latest presentation of my Sakura screen print. If you look behind the geisha in my Widespread Panic New Years Eve in Atlanta poster from 2013, you will see that she is seated in front of a tsuitate screen, which is hidden by a drapery that has the same pattern as my new Sakura print. I like to think that such connections reveal that I am somehow on the right path, and that the world is unfolding correctly, though perhaps not in the usual sequence of time.

Joan Jett by Chuck Sperry

________________

“It is a huge honor to have been asked to do a poster for rock icon Joan Jett, to celebrate Joan Jett and the Blackheart’s induction into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“I wanted to capture Joan Jett’s beauty and wildness in my limited edition silkscreened poster: hand-printed in seven colors, including hand-mixed metallic gold and silver, and translucent glazes.

“In my poster design, Joan Jett has got you locked in her gaze; her stance is rebellious and slightly off-center against a glittering gold graffiti background. Joan is beautiful because she rocks and she’s the real deal. Her truth shines through as dazzling beauty. Joan is dark, she’s mysterious, wherever you think you’ve been to the edge, Joan’s been there before you, and she has written a rocking, true and beautiful song about it. That’s why I love her and her music.”
