Chuck Sperry (born February 5, 1962) is an American artist best known for his screen prints on paper and oak panel, his limited-edition rock posters for bands such as Widespread Panic and Pearl Jam, and his political protest art.

Since 1985, Sperry's iconography has ranged from astronauts walking on the surface of the Moon to portraits of performers as varied as Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Chrissie Hynde.

[4] After graduating from MU in 1984, Sperry stayed in Columbia for a year, during which he created his first punk-rock flyers and edited an underground newspaper called Java with musician Ann Wood.

[2] World War 3 Illustrated included work by Eric Drooker, James Romberger, Anton Van Dalen, David Wojnarowicz, Sue Coe, Art Spiegelman, and Michael Roman.

Sperry commissioned magazine covers and art from Robert Crumb, Spain Rodriguez, S. Clay Wilson, Paul Mavrides, Hal Robbins, Rigo23, Mats Stromberg, Gary Grimshaw, and many others.

[4] In 1994, Sperry received his first commission from art director Arlene Owseichik to create a Fillmore Auditorium poster for Bill Graham Presents in San Francisco.

[2] Other rock-poster attendees included Mark Arminski, Coop, Gary Grimshaw, Derek Hess, Frank Kozik, Lindsey Kuhn, T.A.Z., Wes Wilson, Stanley Mouse, Lee Conklin, David Singer, and Randy Tuten.

Exhibiting artists included Victor Moscoso, Frank Kozik, Coop, Gary Grimshaw, John Seabury, Psychic Sparkplug, Mark Arminski, Lindsey Kuhn, Emek, Mats Stromberg, and Dennis Loren.

Many of these posters were die-cut to shape and promoted bands such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Fleetwood Mac, The Beastie Boys, Smashing Pumpkins, U2, and Limp Bizkit, as well as performers such as Madonna.

From that studio, Sperry has created designs for and printed hundreds of limited-edition posters for countless bands, including The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Who, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, U2, Madonna, Fleetwood Mac, Steve Miller, Smashing Pumpkins, The Beastie Boys, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, The Black Keys, Nick Cave, PJ Harvey, Neko Case, Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Mumford and Sons, Avett Brothers, Widespread Panic, Greensky Bluegrass, Twiddle, and Umphrey's McGee.

Sperry has also toured Europe extensively, exhibiting and appearing with his work in Paris [12] London, Rome, Geneva, Berlin, Athens, Buenos Aires, and Belgrade.

[14] In 2014, Sperry's poster art was exhibited as a part of La Fête du Graphisme sponsored by the French Ministry of Culture and Communication and the Paris City Council.

For that event, an exhibition titled "Gig Posters: 150 Affiches Underground Américaines Contemporaines" was displayed at Les Docks Cité de la Mode et du Design in Paris.

These include cover designs for Redemption Song: The Definitive Biography of Joe Strummer, by Chris Salewicz, 2006; Beautiful Children, by Charles Bock, 2009; and the 20th Anniversary edition of Lipstick Traces, The Secret History of the 20th Century, by Greil Marcus, 2009.

Sperry's 2017 Women's March poster, "Resist Sexism, Racism, Xenophobia, Homophobia, Ignorance, Corruption and Hate," is in the permanent collection of the United States Library of Congress.

[29] Sperry's Conscious Alliance poster[30] for a series of String Cheese Incident concerts in 2017 at Red Rocks, Colorado, raised money and generated food donations, which were later distributed to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota to give relief to the Oglala Sioux people.
