When Dave Grohl was requested to create two artworks for a charity public sale, he procrastinated so lengthy that he wound up drawing them on the day they had been to be exhibited for sale.

The playful outcomes are scrawled with a Sharpie on the again of corrugated indicators from the 2023 version of the annual Sea.Hear.Now pageant in Asbury Park, N.J. One options Grohl’s directions for making a beer bong whereas the opposite reveals plans for emptying a cassette tape to smuggle hash inside it.

The auctions shut on Dec. 27, with the best preliminary bids at $6,501 and $5,100 respectively, which means Grohl – who headlined the pageant with the Foo Fighters after drawing his photographs – is on the right track to usher in not less than $11,600 to be shared amongst seven good causes.

“We used to make these diagrams for runners backstage at shows – ‘Go to Home Depot and get this shit.’” Grohl says within the video clip beneath, whereas engaged on his beer bong piece. “They would literally like get it and screw it together before we played.”

Art is collected yearly “from musicians who are playing the festival to showcase and sell in our Transparent Clinch Gallery Pop Up Art Tent in order to raise money for local charities,” organizer Danny Clinch wrote on the public sale web page.

Dave Grohl Made Art Before Headlining Festival

Clinch “asked Dave Grohl to create some art,” he added. “Dave was immediately excited about the opportunity and started throwing out some creative ideas. As the festival grew closer, I would text Dave to remind him that we would need to collect the art soon. Being one of the busiest people that I know, he arrived at the festival with a Sharpie and ready to make art.

He said a runner was sent to fetch a suitable canvas and returned with “some ‘Prohibited Items’ corro-board signage from the festival fences. Dave loved this and began creating these one-of-a-kind drawings moments before taking the stage in front of 30,000 people.”

Clinch concluded: “Now that you’ve seen the drawings, it only makes the story and the art more ironic and iconic.” The public sale winners can even obtain a superb artwork print of Grohl performing on the pageant, shot and signed by Clinch.
