I’m excited to share my newest concert poster for the Alabama Shakes at the Hollywood Bowl on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. [NB: These are the correct edition sizes and print details]

I’ve been paying attention to the Alabama Shake’s singer Brittany Howard’s stage presence. When I listen to her kind, whole-hearted pep talks to her fans, it led me to think: the world needs more of the Alabama Shakes’ brand of love. That’s my inspiration for the poster.

My Alabama Shakes poster and its lava foil variant will be officially available through Alabama Shakes at the concert on Wednesday, August 13, 2025 at the Hollywood Bowl, Los Angeles.

Chuck Sperry’s Gary Clark Jr Poster Release with EQL

Gary Clark Jr., Hollywood Bowl 2024
35 x 22
Edition of 500
6 colors on cream paper
Signed and Numbered

Concert goers were treated to a very special evening of Gary Clark Jr.’s virtuosic, soulful musicianship at the illustrious Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California on Wednesday. I was inspired to create Mr. Clark’s portrait for the poster, basing my stylized likeness on a gorgeous photo by Frank Maddocks, and seizing the opportunity to weave my signature floral patterns in gold, copper, and rich earth tones throughout.

I will make a limited online launch of my Gary Clark Jr. poster and its variants through EQL opening on Friday, August 23, 2024 at 6 pm PST. The launch closes on Monday, August 26, 2024 at 6 pm PST. The ballot will be open for 72 hours. As long as you enter during this timeframe, time of entry does not impact your chances of purchase.

There will be four live launches: 1 launch for each print edition (regular, silver, sparkle foil, lava foil).
You are free to register once for each launch. Multiple entries per launch will be penalized.
You may only win 1 poster from all the live launches within this 72 hour period. One per household.

Anyone who has listened to a Gary Clark Jr. album or watched the four-time Grammy Award winner perform live knows that he’s a gifted multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and performer. And never more so than on his last album, 2019’s illuminating This Land. But while This Land signaled a breakthrough in displaying his musical versatility beyond the blues, his latest album, JPEG RAW, represents a quantum leap.

As he prepares now for the release of JPEG RAW, what does Clark want listeners to take away from his forthcoming album? “Breathe,” he urges. “Then go outside and listen to the birds as you look up at the sky. Appreciate the things you do have. Hopefully, the album resonates with positivity and hope. It’s really not about me, so take me out of the equation. This is yours now.”

I just got back from hand delivering the posters for Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros’ homecoming show at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The beauty of hand delivery, is that I got to see the show. I took visiting Argentine artist Alan Berry Rhys and his girlfriend Emilia Carranza with me to the show. We had a blast and what an excellent show!

Sun Ra Arkestra opened and also came out on stage with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros for an amazing encore with no less than 25 people on stage (at least). I created my poster with an intricate and elegant arrangement of flowers, printing a very heavy metallic silver on black linen paper, and delicately tinting the silver with translucent colors. The details are very fine and the registration was exceptionally difficult, but the result made me very happy! I wanted to express the ensemble nature of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros (and Sun Ra Arkestra – for that matter) where there is no compositional center but all the intricate parts naturally combine to make art that is beautiful – like a bouquet of luminous flowers. It’s an expression of the idea of participatory democracy, a political notion and a musical theory, evident in the musical structure of Edward Sharpe and the Magentic Zeros and Sun Ra Arkestra. But then again, it’s only rock and roll and I like it!
