“Color x Color” Second Printing Due in September

I’m delighted to announce the second printing of my new book “Color x Color: The Sperry Poster Archive” is now underway. My dreams for the release of “Color x Color” were realized when the first printing sold out in one day paired with enthusiastic, positive response from critics in the press. I’m grateful to my friends and supporters who contributed to a most auspicious book release.

The second printing of the book is anticipated to arrive in September 2020. Stay tuned!

To celebrate, I will be offering a very limited release of my reserve of the first printing through www.chucksperry.net on Sunday, July 12, 2020.

“The California Report” KQED Radio, Covers “Occupy Bay Area”

Today is the one year anniversary of the beginning of the Occupy Movement, and I sat down with KQED Radio’s Rachael Myrow at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, to talk about my Occupy poster, “This Is Our City And We Can Shut It Down” (below). This poster is included in the “Occupy Bay Area” exhibition at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts. Rachael spoke to me, fellow artist Eric Drooker, and exhibition curator, Betti-Sue Hertz about the significance of the art exhibition and more importantly, the progress and significance of the Occupy Movement in general.
