Artist Jon-Paul Bail, who occasionally prints at Hangar 18, is not one to take a break during an election year. One Percent Christian and Thirsty For Power are his latest political posters out on the streets of Oakland. These 18″ x 24″ oil based silkscreen art prints contain metallic inks and are amazing in person, talk about bling! These pictures don’t do these pieces justice.  Available in the near future on his website Political Gridlock

The Art of Moonalice

An exhibit of Rock Posters created for the band Moonalice.

Moonalice is a band that commissions a poster for every gig and gives them away for free.  Since the band’s formation in 2007, Moonalice has produced a unique series of almost 550 original gig posters with artwork from over 20 artists.

Moonalice posters feature artwork from many of the legendary poster artists of the psychedelic 60’s as well as today’s top rock poster artists.  Moonalice is a band that lets poster artists do what they do best — make art! Unencumbered by standard constraints, Moonalice posters are as diverse as the artists who create them.

On Sunday, October 28, 2012,  Moonalice proudly presents their 2nd poster show at the Brooklyn Bowl. The full series of Moonalice posters will be on display and available for purchase at this FREE East Coast event. Many Moonalice poster artists will be attending the event in-person.

Firehose reunited for the first time since 1994 this year, playing a short west coast tour. Just to make things clear, I’m not talking about Firehouse, the 80’s hair metal band. But these posters WERE printed at the Firehouse Kustom Rockart Co., or Hangar 18…anyone not familiar with this band and their history should make themselves so…

Anyway, all of these prints were laid down on the same background that was created for the series, which was a 3 color recreation of a weathered piece of parchment paper. The first of the series was Ron Donovan’s Bob Ross with Gene Simmons makeup, and the next three followed suit with more afros and the remaining members of Kiss. All four were designed by Ron Donovan and Scott Johnson, with each one taking the lead on a rotating basis. Why afros and Kiss? Why not? So, the series progressed as follows…

Sacramento: Bob Ross / Gene Simmons 7 colors
San Francisco: Richard Pryor / Paul Stanley 7 colors
Fresno: Little Orphan Annie / Peter Criss 6 colors
Indio (Coachella): Don Cornelius / Ace Frehley 12 colors

This series of 4 is signed, numbered, and packaged in a mailer screen printed with a big 4 color version of the Firehose 2012 logo depicted in all the posters. Each poster is 19 x 25 inches and printed on heavy stock.
