Sappho was an Archaic Greek poet from Eresos or Mytilene on the island of Lesbos. Sappho is known for her lyric poetry, written to be sung while accompanied by music. In ancient times, Sappho was widely regarded as one of the greatest lyric poets and was given names such as the “Tenth Muse” and “The Poetess”.

I released the regular edition of my latest muse “Sappho” at the Fort Wayne Museum of Art retrospective exhibition, “Color x Color”. 

I will be making a very limited online release of my “Sappho” variant editions on Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 9-10 am PST. (No regular editions will be offered online.)

Limited to one print (1) per household. This limit of one print (1) includes all variants offered. Subsequent orders will be cancelled.

I would like to welcome a lot of newcomers to my site! I’ll quickly explain how my releases on my website are conducted. My “Sappho” variant editions will be available, right here, in this post on Sunday, May 1, 2022 at 9-10 am PST. The variants will appear at the same time as the PayPal “Buy Now” buttons. All the variants and their PayPal “Buy Now” buttons will appear at 9-10 am PST, and I will announce the price of each variant at the same time. Good luck to everyone, and as always, I am very appreciative of your support!

I am very happy to announce the release of my poster to raise awareness for the Equal Rights Amendment. This issue means so much to me. Equality is the central issue of our day.

“Equality is the flower of democracy. Passing the Equal Rights Amendment — at long last — will be the path to gender equality for our American democracy. I am grateful to be called upon to include my voice in the collective call to bring about gender equality by amending the Constitution with passage of the ERA, and I was quick to reach out to fellow artists to join the call to action.”  — Chuck Sperry, artist statement for Artists 4 ERA

VoteEqualityUS is a nonpartisan grassroots effort promoting equal rights for all Americans, working to ensure the addition of the fully-ratified 28th Amendment (Equal Rights) to the United States Constitution. 

I created my ERA poster to intentionally refer to my art print, Clio, the Muse of history, daughter of memory. I suggest we remember where we came from, how we got here, who we are, and where we are going. History is not only a collection of objective facts; history is also a story. How we organize those objective facts says a lot about who we are, or who we want to be.

Chuck Sperry’s “Grateful Mahalo” Wins Poster of the Year 2021, “Helena” Wins Art Print of the Year 2021

Expressobeans members have voted my poster “Grateful Mahalo” and my art print “Helena” – Poster of the Year 2021, and Art Print of the Year 2021. I’m stunned and grateful to have won both honors!

My “Grateful Mahalo with Bill Kreutzmann and Billy Strings” poster celebrated Bill Kreutzmann’s 75th Birthday party in Kauai, Hawaii with an all-star band (Bill Kreutzmann, Billy Strings, Tom Hamilton, Reed Mathis, Aron Magner, James Casey, and special guest Carlos Santana). My poster was released through Fans.live and through Spoke Art – both employing a lottery system to accommodate the monumental demand for this print.

My art print “Helena” was previewed in Paris at l’Oeil Ouvert Gallery and in Geneva at Next Door Gallery, and released by Hashimoto Contemporary at Context Art Miami during Art Basel Week 2021. 

Thank you for the multiple honors! My thanks to everyone who supported me through this very challenging time. Your support, help, confidence and belief in my vision has helped me find the courage to meet the challenges of this year. 2020 and 2021 taught me an appreciation of the simple grace a creative life can offer, and dared me to dig deep to pursue my dreams, thank you for your support!
