TRPS Thanks everyone for an awesome year!
Thanks to the TRPS members, Artists, Dealers, Collectors and Board Members, 2008 has been a very successful year. Starting in June with an awesome Rock Art By The Bay Show right on through a great Festival of Rock Posters at The Hall of Flowers in October, we all have raised the Bay Area Poster scene to a new level with
young emerging artists and by raising funds for our artist relief trust.
We are still stoked that the Firehouse team brought the Poster Trio
Malleus all the way from Italy for their San Francisco debut at
the October show.
TRPS also wishes to give a nod of recognition to EMEK who produced a TRPS 10 year anniversary print to help raise much needed funds for the artist relief trust.

ALTON KELLEY BENEFIT POSTER
A growing part of the TRPS effort is to help poster artists and their families
in time of need. Thanks to the efforts of noted Fillmore poster artist Dave Hunter,
we are pleased to offer this beautiful 18 X 24 limited edition silkscreen print to
honor the memory of one of the greats, Alton Kelley.
All proceeds from the sale of this killer poster (every dime) will go directly to
Kelley's family through the TRPS Artist Relief Trust account.
Printed in black, metallic silver, and colorful split fountain, the central image
is a Harley-Davidson engine (Kelley loved his toys). The dripping psychedelic
lettering would do Kelley proud.
We unveiled this print at our Fort Mason show in San Francisco on June 14th,
and these are the remaining copies from the show. Each is signed by the artist and
numbered (out of a 100-copy print run).
Please support this very worthwhile effort. Remaining quantities are limited,
and when they're gone, that's it.
This limited edition silkscreen is available now for a donation of $80 plus $10
shipping. If you want to include a message to Kelley's family, we'll be happy to
forward it to Marguerite and the kids.
Please make out a money order or personal check made payable to "TRPS Artist Relief Trust" (memo "Kelley Poster") and send it to: The Rock Poster Society PO Box 20309 Oakland, Ca. 94620-0309 |
