________________

This year The Rock Poster Society, Festival of Rock Posters was amazing! I want to thank everyone who came to join us at the Hall of Flowers in Golden Gate Park for a memorable event. A huge thank you to the whole TRPS crew who made such an amazing show possible!

Thanks to everyone from TRPS, Expressobeans, and all my friends and supporters who fought through Friday’s BART Strike traffic to enjoy my Open Studio Party, “Hometown Disadvantage.” The show was a huge success – the line started to form at noon – a first for my humble West Oakland Gallery space! I was completely floored by the response that met me and Chris Shaw at our opening! Thanks to Celine Teo-Blockey who turned out a bunch of people through her great story in the San Francisco Examiner!

The Chris Shaw / Chuck Sperry show, “Hometown Disadvantage” will be up for the rest of the month, open by appointment, I am happy to schedule a meeting. Just send me a note via my contact email above and I will schedule a time to meet.

Sperry Creating Visual Identity of Paris Restaurant, Blue Valentine, Opens November 2013

Blue Valentine, at 13 rue de la Pierre-Levée, 75011 Paris, is a new restaurant themed on my art, and will open in the first half of November.

I am very proud to be a central part of this project, which was dreamed up by my dear friend Léna Balacco, who owns two restaurants in Paris already, and is opening her third inspired by my art. I introduced Léna and my god-daughter Elvis Balacco to many of you who attended the Rock Art By The Bay event here in San Francisco last July.

Blue Valentine will serve superb French food, tasty cocktails, organic beers and wines; it will be an excellent place for my friends and fans to stop and eat or drink, whenever they should find themselves in Paris.

I’ve created the visual identity of the restaurant, logo, cards, coasters, window, bar and table design, and painted a mural design on the ceiling. The pieces from my very special show in Italy will permanently be on display at Blue Valentine – and available for acquisition – for drinkers and diners.

Restaurant manager, expert bartender and friendly conversationalist Thomas King will be there to greet you; Thomas is from Chicago, mixes excellent cocktails, and will make you feel right at home.

Here are some photos of my work on the ceiling painting for Blue Valentine in late August through early September, just a taste of the great restaurant being born:
