This is an offset litho designed by Chuck Sperry for a 7/16/12 Frank Ocean show at the Regency in San Francisco. Ocean's latest album is called "Channel Orange, " hence the Orange Crush reference (see source image on right for comparison). Sperry's work is usually more intricate and complicated than this, but I like the simplicity of this one. People who attended the concert got a free poster at the end show, but mine is one of a signed edition of 100. Dimensions are 9.5 inches wide by 300 inches tall. Should be fun to frame and hang.
The weird thing is that I was writing an overview about Orange Crush when this poster was published, which means I know that the bottle is often referred to as a Mae West for its full-figured shape.
