Enjoy This Fine Selection of Uncle Charlie Posters - and Buy One Saturday

In our alter ego as a print journalist, this week Rocks Off sits down with Uncle Charlie, whose vibrant posters have been adorning Houston concert halls and living-room walls (like ours, for example) since the Vatican and Unicorn days when Charlie did gig flyers for his own band, Houston hardcore legends Dresden 45.

Since last June, Uncle Charlie has also been officially legally blind. As you can read here, that slowed him down for a little while, but hasn't stopped him one bit. Charlie was nice enough to send us several recent examples of his work. His posters and prints are on display and for sale at Sig's Lagoon; Charlie hosts an exhibition at Midtown's only record store this Saturday starting at 6 p.m.

KEEP THE HOUSTON PRESS FREE... Since we started the Houston Press, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Houston, and we'd like to keep it that way. With local media under siege, it's more important than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" program, allowing us to keep offering readers access to our incisive coverage of local news, food and culture with no paywalls.
