First Printing

Chuck had a blast making this “Old School” poster in the 1990’s style. “I hand-mixed fluorescent and metallic inks from pigment powder, especially for this poster, so every color in it is a custom formula (and very strong chromatically, haha!). I designed the band names and show information in black bars at the top and bottom of the poster – a technique artists in the 1990’s devised to save time, create maximum impact, readability, and to allow for the inevitable last-minute changes in bill or venue (Consider that most posters were color separated by hand-cutting rubylith films with exacto knives – black bars allowed for faster color preparation). Enjoy this super eye-popping “Old School” Supersuckers poster, turn on your blacklight, and listen to the Evil Powers of Rock’n’Roll!”

Very Rare Artist Proof

Designed & Signed by Chuck Sperry

What is an Artist’s Proof?:

An Artist’s Proof is an old tradition of reserving a quantity of prints for the artist’s use, printed at the same time as the regular edition without changes. In the early days of printing, these prints were the only remuneration the poor artist received.
