Description
Rick Griffin - Illustration Original Art (undated). Rick Griffin has become known as one of the premier psychedelic artists of the 1960s, due mainly to his incredible poster designs for Jimi Hendrix, Grateful Dead, and others during the "Summer of Love" era, in San Francisco, as well as his mid-blowing comic pages in Zap Comix and other Underground publications. In the 1970s, he turned his attention to Christian themes, while still doing the occasional Dead cover or Zap story. He died in 1991 in a tragic motorcycle accident. This lovely piece combines two of Rick's passions: Mickey Mouse and Western themes, and the two kissing creatures closely resemble characters used in Griffin's famous Honk concert poster. Rick's art rarely hits the marketplace these days, and this piece came from a long-time collector who knew the artist. The ink, colored Zipatone screens, and white-out drawing is on bristol measuring approximately 11" x 12.5, with an image area of 9" x 9". It's in Excellent condition.Auction Info
