The concentration of wealth in the hands of the few has never been so destructive and influential in history. Its control over our political system allows the few to wield vast power contrary to the fair and equitable will of the people. OWS protesters don’t need one common unifying goal or issue about which they protest, they simply need the citizens who feel aggrieved to stand up and be counted among those who desire reasonable, sensible and fair change. This protest should continue so that our children’s children have the luxury of living a wealthy and safe life and so they may pass on the ideals of those who Occupied Wall street or threw the kings tea into Boston harbor. I humbly pass the soap box.
Awesome poster! Hoping to get one on Monday as I was unable to get one at the show because the venue was only accepting Norwegian credit cards. I love the story of the poster, well done gentlemen!
Hello Chris, do you have any MINT JG 70th silkscreens for $250 shipped like Alex offered me and i didn’t have the doe-ray-me, well i got it now, can we put this together bro, inspiration move me brightly…thx for any response-d
It’s a great picture but evolution isn’t directional and doesn’t have an apex. There’s no end goal to evolution and the idea that humans are ‘top of the evolutionary ladder’ is just human chauvanism. Single-celled organisms are just as evolved as we are, and in terms of numbers, there’s more of them.
Sorry to nitpick, I love the icons series and hope you’ll do more of them.
Your art is VERY INTERESTING-I compare it to the political/social/cultural art drawings done by the men and women of the American association of editorial cartoonists.
Last we spoke you were looking into how many Hendrix posters you had left for sale.
Please let me know if your are still interest in selling one or not.
Chris, its Dave McGee, hope you and Alex are well. Sorry I haven’t been in touch, that’s my bad as I still owe you both a lunch. Love the new Primus in Pearl and the Hologram very cool. If you have either I would love one.
Also do you still have any of the Allman Brothers posters I dont remember seeing those and would love one as well. Lets get together soon
Hi Chris, Missed Poster show last year and Alex assisted in sending me last years Giants Grateful Dead Poster. Would it be possible to buy 3 of the latest SF Giants/Jerry Garcia Posters from you and have u sign them. Absolutely awesome Poster Art from both of you. I do plan on next TRPS show but I know life’s events sometimes throw a wrench in the works. Thanks Again Chris.
This poster is amazing. Would you happen to have all 4 pieces of the Tibetan Freedom Concert 1999 poster that you would be willing to sell? If so, what would you ask for it? Thank you.
is it possible to buy a copy of this poster? I was at this show w my X and they actually came up to the balcony for the encore and grabbed my girlfriend and I out of our seats to join them jumping around during the encore. I couldnt capture the moment bc I was too caught up in it but would love to frame a poster from the show if I can track one down. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks!

Would love to get a signed proof of this. Not sure what it would take or if even possible. This show spoke volumes to me as a young father and going through so many issues as a young man. This show was just so powerful to me. I see I can purchase it from Wolfgangs. Wanted to see if it’s possible to just go to you directly. Thank you for a beautiful poster. It’s taken me a long time before I could even think of purchasing such an item. I went to the Halloween night show. So odd Rollins primed us for Pearl Jam 🙂

Its definitely possible – but not decided at the moment. However anything available at http://www.SaintJavelin.com is authorized and official – with proceeds aiding Ukraine. If I print a poster or print edition it’ll likely be released there.
Tesla’s New Year’s Eve 1992 concert was the first rock concert I ever attended. This concert poster is amazing! It brings back memories of that high-energy show.
Thanks!!! That Tesla poster was the first poster I made for Bill Graham Presents – made a lot more after that one! It was a really fun poster to make, pre-digital days.

I’d like to buy this poster.How can I purchase one? I remember the show it was amazing! As a San Francisco kid and a Beastie Boys fan this is a must have joint!
I may be sold out of that one too – try WolfgansVault. If you are still in the SFBay Area come to the TRPS Festival of Rock Posters in October – I usually dig deep in the flat files and archive to find stuff for that show, If I find any of these I’ll have them there.

If you do release official prints, I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to purchase directly from you. There is a method I’m sure you’re aware of, that allows the images to be etched into thin metal plates. Your image is so well done and now so revered to support the efforts of the Ukrainian people, that that is what I would like to have to mount in my main living space.
Keep producing all that you do through your creativity!
All well here, thanks! – The emergency causing postponement of the event wasn’t mine. I do look forward to doing the Sant Javelin panel this summer in KC with BBQ and warmer weather. Cheers!
