Release of the Widespread Panic – Asheville Artist Edition Posters.

Earlier this summer Widespread Panic had to halt their tour because of Jimmy Herring’s unfortunate cancer diagnosis and immediate treatments. We are happy to see Jimmy making a strong recovery with dates being announced for the band to tour in the new year. The first cancelled shows were this run in Asheville for which we had already made these posters.

We have 3 versions of this poster to make available on October 30th.

The Artist Edition of 110 on Dirty Gold stock will drop in the Spusta Studio Shop sometime around 11:00 am PST (10/30/24).
There is also a Sticky Turquoise Edition of 33 that we are releasing through our EQL lottery launch page sometime after the Artist Edition is released in the shop. We have saved some of the Artist Edition for the EQL lottery as well, for those miss the drop.
There are only 20 in the Night Blue Edition, and we have sent most of them over to Spusta Gnome’s Secret Stash to be included in a purchasing lottery that will help raise money for Asheville’s recovery.

Since we are releasing these variants in different ways, we will allow the possibility open for customers to purchase up to one of each version, but not two of the same variant.

Thanks for your support. Please don’t purchase with the intent to immediately sell online,



Goose and Dead & Co. Poster Drops

We have copies of the recent Dead & Company Sphere and Goose Philadelphia posters to get out to the people. The demand for these has been high, we have not been able to respond to all the inquiries, sorry about that. There are a few different versions of these posters and they will be available in different ways at different times. Our aim is to get these into your hands, true collectors, art & music appreciators – but there are piles of these on Ebay already and we are not able to control what customers do with their posters. We will refund those instant resellers if we are able to link them up with shop orders.

We will list the posters in the sequence in which they will be released tomorrow (7/3/24)

First Up is the Dead & Company Sphere Yellow Gold AP Edition of 50. These will be released in a unique way in our Shop after 9:10 am PDT.

Next will be the Goose Philadelphia Artist Edition of 100 on color changing Chlorophyll stock. These will be released in a unique way in our Shop after 2:22 pm PDT.

After the Goose Chlorophyll AE of 100 goes up in the Shop , these Goose variant posters will be sold through our EQL page, which means they each will have an open period (until evening) where customers can enter with their interest. The Black variant is an edition of 30 on a slick thick black rubber stock. The White variant edition of 25 is on a pearly white metallic stock. There will be a limit of one Goose poster per customer, so if you get the AE in the shop, you’ll have to pass on the chance for one of the variants. The Goose AEs will cost $130 and the variants will be priced at $180.

The Dead & Company AP edition on metallic midnight stock released in our Shop after 3:33 pm PDT.

Lastly we will open up a lottery launch for the Dead & Company Foil APs via our EQL page. Interested customers will be able to sign-up throughout the evening and we will have customers selected late into the night or morning. There will be a limit of one Dead & Co. poster per customer, so if you get the Gold or Midnight in the shop, you’ll have to pass on the chance for these foils. The Dead & Co. midnight (150 APs) will be priced at $105, the Gold (50 APs) at $130 and the Foil (50 APs) at $150.

Here’s a close-up pf the foil, showing the rainbow reflection.

Primus Poster Release and Some Mini Prints

We have new posters and prints to get out to the people. The Primus poster was made for the Sessanta Tour’s stop at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley and sold out to an endless line at the merch booths. We are glad to have two editions to make available tomorrow. The demand on these posters have been very high, so we will be running a fair launch of these prints through our EQL page. These launches help us randomly select customers within the pool of those interested. The Artist Edition of 100 will be open for entry between 10am-3pm PDT ($200) and the Pink ‘n’ Gold Edition of 50 will be open from 4pm-7pm PDT ($280). You may enter for both, but will not be selected for both.


We have compiled a nice stack of Mystery Mini Print Packs for release as well. These packs will include a variety of 4 minis + 1 micro screen print from the batch of designs that debuted with the “Understanding Between” packs. The packs will include one random 7″x 7″ mini print, one random 5″ x 7″ mini print, one random 5″ x 5″ mini print and a new 5″ x 5″ variety of “Little Spirit In A Hat”. This release will also be a launch via our EQL page, open from 2pm – 5pm PDT tomorrow 5/22/24.

While these releases will be run through EQL to randomly select winners, we also want to offer people a chance to comment here if they feel they have been missing out on Spusta Studio drops lately. We will be selecting some commentors on this post to be given a major boost in the EQL selection process. So still enter the EQL launches for what you want and use that same email address (hidden from public) in the comment on this post and state your case.

Some cases that may be given privileges:
– Previous customers that missed out on the last minis
– Attendees of Sessanta Berkeley that missed out
– The biggest of Primus fans
– People Marq went to school with 🙂
