I designed and printed three separate, but matching, posters (one for each night) for Widespread Panic’s three night engagement at The Fox in Oakland.

The thematic tryptich is based on the Three Graces: Splendor, Mirth, and Good Cheer.
These classic ideas perfectly describe a good Widespread Panic show!

All three of the posters have the three dates on them.
Each one was offered exclusively for only one night.

The posters were not printed together, but each one at a time, created as three separate posters, on highest quality shimmering gold metallic paper.
I thought that in this way – everyone gets a cool poster with all the dates – but there is also that extra coolness that they are different each night.

I wanted to do something extra cool, and labor intensive, for this special Widespread Panic appearance!

From Fast Times: “True legend of Australian music, Nick Cave has teamed up with Fast Times to produce an exciting and rad collection! After discussing lyrics and a theme, It was agreed Nature Boy best suited the Melbourne Skate Scene and vibe of Fast Times. The Lyrics are taken from ‘Nature Boy’ A track from’s Nick’s ‘Abattoir Blues’ Album which also is featured in the accompanying Fast Times Skate clip.”

“Chuck Sperry is the artist behind this project and has done many of Nick Cave’s tour posters. Hailing from San Francisco, he has worked alongside many other music greats to create some truly unique and iconic pieces of art. The board features a full wrap graphic that uses a metallic glitter (inspired by old school motorbike helmets) to highlight the intricate detail of Chuck’s artwork. It runs throughout the board and gives the board a unique texture and feel. It also features lyrics chosen by ourselves and Nick to reflect the theme of the graphic.”

“We are stoked to have worked with Chuck on this limited edition collection!”  — Fast Times

I will be making a very limited online release of “The Who Hits 50″ Poster on Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at a random time.
(Excuse the delay in releasing this poster. I had a fantastic end to an excellent year, and needed to take a couple of weeks to regroup for exciting plans for 2015.)

I want to welcome a lot of newcomers to my site! I’ll quickly explain how my releases on my website are conducted. The Who will be available, right here, in this post on Wednesday, February 4, 2015 at a random time. A paypal “Buy Now” button will appear under the poster (above) at a random time, and I will announce the price of the poster at the same time. Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!

Often, in the 20 years I’ve been designing and printing my own rock poster art, I have been asked, “If you could do a poster for any band, one you haven’t done a poster for, which band would that be?”

I inevitably answer, “The Who.” I am honored to have been asked by The Who to create the official poster for their “50th Anniversary British Tour 2014.” And now, in their 50th year, I can check the box next to my dream-come-true, wish-list item.

It crossed my mind that in The Who’s 50th year rocking the planet, I am in my 52nd year alive. I grew up with The Who. They have colored every corner of my life for every year I’ve been alive. 

I poured my love for The Who into the seven hand-screenprinted colors of my limited edition poster. I felt the design should reflect a modern, pop art, attitude. I rendered The Who’s emblematic RAF symbol in bright colors adorned with my signature psychedelic circle patterns, printed in heavy gold and silver, hand mixed inks. I’m extremely happy with the result, and couldn’t be happier to have made this piece of art for one of the best rock bands on earth.
