Chuck Sperry Widespread Panic Fall Tour poster on sale


Widespread Panic invited Chuck Sperry to make their 25th Anniversary Tour Fall Tour 2011 poster; the band needed an edition of 2000 to cover over 30 dates. He thought of Geraldine and The Honey Bee. Widespread Panic is like the life-giving flower and the fans stop to listen and feed from the beautiful experience. The concept was set, but making 2000? It seemed a tall order. The band was a bit apologetic, but there were those 30 dates, and the Spring tour poster sold out quite fast. So he thought let’s just give it a try.

In doing so many posters – Chuck didn’t want to compromise: He didn’t want to plate sign these – so he hand signed and numbered each one. Chuck didn’t want to use fewer colors. He wanted to continue to experiment with cool inks. He designed this in 7 colors on archival cream paper. Gold and silver metallics underlay the design with shimmering goodness (four and a half gallons of silver and two gallons of gold to complete 2000 posters). Four tinting colors fill in the spectrum. The last color (printed over the black) is a special mix of opalescent, pearlescent and interference blue on the translucent wings.
