Chuck Sperry’s new book “Helikon” gathers together his masterfully screen printed wood panel series of contemporary-classical muses: work inspired by the spirit of the modern rock poster, graffiti, and the utopian ethos of 1960’s psychedelia.

“Helikon” presents 36 sumptuously photographed Sperrys paired with the prose or poem — from Homer to Nick Cave — that inspired each. Over a dozen photos by Shaun Roberts give the reader an intimate portrait of the artist at work.

When facts and science are forced to compete with total nonsense in the marketplace of ideas, the Moonalice Legend is your friend. In this, the fifth volume of The Moonalice Legend series, we memorialize the growing nonsense in our culture. The Legend has stoood the test of time, filling in the blanks of history with nuggests of information that would otherwise exist only in the minds of our tribe. The Legend goes where scholars fear to tread, from our tribe’s commitment to Pride Day, to gluten-free cannabis and to the successful pursuit of the elusive Arctic River Hippo and Fabulous Furry Frog Brothers. You’ll also learn the legends of Slugger Moonalice and the first Moonalice gold digger. You will have an opportunity to join Occupy Hemp, and to meet a bunch of great artists with whom Moonalice played this year, including U2, Jefferson Starship, the New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Grace Slick. This book will introduce you to the latest Moonalice school of poster art: Cannabism. When it comes to history, there is nothing like the Moonalice Legend.

This book also includes the best poster art of San Francisco, created for a band commited to the notion that music, art and laughing are good for the human spirit.

Don’t miss all the amazing art by Chris Shaw, David Singer, Alexandra Fischer, Carolyn Ferris, Chuck Sperry, Dennis Loren, Dave Hunter, Stanley Mouse, Dennis Larkins, Wendy Wright, John Seabury, Darrin Brenner, Lauren Yurkovich, Lee Conklin, John Mavroudis, Gary Houston, Pat & George Sargent, Winston Smith, & Grace Slick.
