Ray Davies Warfield Poster

raydavies_chucksperry1

Ray Davies brought the choir to The Warfield tonight – he also brought his anarchic sense of humor and brought down the house.

Saying this was a good show is an understatement.

–

I noticed that Ray Davies used a William Blake illustration for the cover of his latest album featuring choral arrangements of his favorite songs, so I’m paying homage with this poster, using William Blake art from his worked entitled, “Ancient of Days.” I used a heavy metallic silver and tinted it with translucent layers of color on black paper. This poster shines.

William Blake (28 November 1757 – 12 August 1827) was an English Poet. painter, and printmaker. Largely unrecognised during his lifetime, Blake is now considered a seminal figure in the history of both the poetry and visual arts of the Romantic Age.

Here’s Firehouse Goldenvoice Series poster number 71 for Moby at The Warfield on October 15, 2009 in San Francisco.

I went for a Film Noir treatment, a mysterious meeting at a bar.

The Pogues at The Warfield and The Regency, San Francisco, October 13 and 14, 2009

poguessm

Here’s the first Firehouse Goldenvoice Series poster for both venues, The Warfield and The Regency, in San Francisco, number 70 in the series.

ANUFROG

Somehow I managed to draw and design and hand-letter this poster on the Monday after The TRPS Hall of Flowers Show. After having breakfast in The Haight-Ashbury with Urlo, Poia and Lu of Malleus, Jeff Wood, Johnny Thief and George Gamboa at The Pork Store. And after Jeff came over to the house to pack his posters to send home (Cool, Jeff stoked me a Stanley Mouse / Jeff Wood – Sheppard Fairey parody – colab print called “DOSE”). And after a gallery meeting with Phil Cushway at Artrock. And after dropping The Malleus kids off at Union Square; I got to work on this drawing of Anu – Irish Goddess of The Waters. The first real winter rain was just starting to blow into San Francisco, tearing through the trees in front of my apartment in the Panhandle. Thought the Pogues would dig this drawing, a reference to the primordial Celtic goddess of fertility.

POGUES

Urlo arrived and suggested I put “The Pogues” into the reflection right under Anu’s face. I handed him the drawing and a piece of paper and pencil and asked him if he would like to letter that. So he did. The result is a bit of a cool colab action – all relaxed – just a slice of life. Nice to have the Malleus folks staying at the house.

Motorhead, Reverend Horton Heat and Nashville Pussy at the Warfield Poster

motorhead

How’s this for a Rock Moment? I leave George Gamboa and Doug Dashiell to go to the Warfield lobby and get a beer as Nashville Pussy wraps their set. In the lobby I run into Goldenvoice head honcho David Lefkowitz who says, “Chuck! Great poster for tonight!” and Eric McFadden appears and I say, “Hey Dude! You rocked the shit out of ‘Low Spark of High Heeled Boys’ with Gov’t Mule last week! Ron and I have to have a recording of that. It’s one of the Firehouse’s favorite songs. Amazing!” Right then Nashville Pussy’s guitarist, Ruyter Suys comes busting through the door on the shoulders of the biggest friggin bouncer at the Warfield, says. “Hey! Eric!” and deposits herself right into Eric McFadden’s arms right in the middle of this convo. Amazing show!

Slice of life and great night! Idea for the poster is something like this: Knights Templar, Knight of Rock’n’roll, or just plain Metal. You decide.

Three versions for your choice:
