TRPS Festival of Posters 2014 – Latest Surprises!

TRPS-Posters

I spent this Friday before TRPS Festival of Flowers printing a fine detail (adding the historically accurate support bands) on a reprint of “The Beatles 1966 Candlestick” poster designed by rock poster legend, the great Wes Wilson (a free labor of love for my hero). Make sure to visit Wes Wilson and ask about his newest offering! Helping make this the best show in the country for rock poster enthusiasts, sometimes means you have to pitch in and help your fellow artists, and helping Wes with his Beatles poster was just the right thing to do, and really cool! (even a small part of the overall piece).

I’m bringing many specialties and rarities. (Can you pick out some cool stuff in the picture above?) In addition to the newest titles, I’m making many rare test prints and black and white tests of most of my newest posters available tomorrow. It is always my great pleasure to welcome everyone to hometown, San Francisco, for the biggest poster show of the year!

Also, to add to the unreleased Widespread Panic variant additions I mentioned in my blog post earlier this week – I am offering two unreleased variant editions from my Dave Matthews Band, Greek Theatre.

These will only be offered exclusively at TRPS on Saturday, October 25, 2014.

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.
