Rick Griffin was the best of the poster artists. His work is quite acid inspired though.

My favorite Hippie Art is the Robert Crumb artwork. I still love that famous "Keep On Truckin'" cartoon.

My friend met Robert Crumb. Crumb was visiting his girlfriend in Ashland, OR (he has a home in France and stays with his girlfriend when he comes to Ashland).

Interesting guy...dresses like it's still the 1930's, collects old blues records, and said he likes to eat at Elmer's when he's here, 'cause he likes their breakfasts!

Crumb is great too (I've met him and have a piece of his work in my collection that is from his 1962 sketchbook).

Some of his later sketchbooks have been published in the US from Fantagraphics in chronological order. Some of his work is also psychedelic but he only did 2 concert posters in the 1960s (he also did the Janis Joplin/Big Brother and the Holding Company album cover and some flyers later for the Slick Suit Seranaders).

Rick Griffin's posters for the Who, Jimi Hendrix, and the Grateful Dead are among the best of the genre. He was also an accomplished surf artist and a fellow Zap Comix artist.

Houstonian Gilbert Shelton did some poster art in Texas but is better known for the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers and the Wonder Warthog. I was suprised when he recently was contracted to do the art for the 2 day psych fest held in Houston and Austin. He's been living in Paris for almost 20 years and was the man who convinced ol' Bob (America 'Love It Or Leave It') Crumb to move to France.
