“Sought by our fans, the art of Chuck Sperry is some of their best loved… even the band members request personal signed copies of his posters. Chuck’s work is clean and colorful, the kind of imagery that can be seen from a mile away. His “Ladies,” as they have been dubbed, are highly prized among all of his beautiful creations… And just as the six members of Widespread Panic support the musical ideas of each other onstage we are honored to have the work of Chuck Sperry representing our sound in your eyes.”

Chuck Sperry’s 311 Poster Wins Award

My 311 Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

I was commissioned by 311 to create a poster commemorating their show at the Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory, Irving, Texas.

My poster shows Kallirhoe nymph of the spring, in ancient Athens, that flows from a shady bank into the Ilissos River.  The lush shores of the Ilissos near Kallirhoe were peaceful, idyllic, even Socrates preferred this very spot to teach.

Kallirhoe means “beautiful flow” – and I think that describes the perfect night out to see your favorite band.

Kallirhoe, a maiden of wondrous beauty … 
for her beauty was not merely human but divine
—not that of Nereid or mountain nymph, 
but of Aphrodite herself.
—Chariton

Widespread Panic Richmond “Juno” Poster Wins Award

My Widespread Panic “Juno” Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

Commissioned by Widespread Panic for two legendary nights at the Allianz Amphitheater at Riverfront, Richmond, Virginia, my poster was revealed on the first night as a secret surprise, and sold out by the time the shows ended.

“Juno, Queen of the Gods, graces my Widespread Panic poster for Richmond, Virginia. Mother Goddess, central to the earliest rites that dressed our beliefs in human form. Dancing and losing oneself in music connects us to one of the earliest forms of ritual practice.” — Chuck Sperry

We are the good people
The ones they told you about
One kiss of mother nature
Her spirit waits in light

Sperry’s Grateful Dead “Bertha” Poster Wins Award

My Grateful Dead “Bertha” Poster has been voted Poster of the Week by Expressobeans members. Thanks to all my supporters, I super appreciate it! Many thanks to Expressobeans.com.

Commissioned with blessings from the Grateful Dead for The Capitol Theatre and Relix Marketplace, my Grateful Dead poster is a celebration of the Capitol Theatre’s early 1970s resurgence as a major psychedelic performance space. Sperry’s poster commemorates the first night of the Dead’s legendary residency at the Capitol Theatre on March 20, 1970.

“Bertha, I think, is probably some vaguer connotation of birth, death, and reincarnation. Cycle of existences, some kind of nonsense like that. I wouldn’t be surprised, but then again, it might not be. I don’t remember.” 

— Robert Hunter
