Well done. I wish Wes Wilson was alive to be interviewed for this. He lived a few minutes from me until he passed in 2020.
We all made our own posters in the SF punk scene of 77-81. I think one of the best was by the Mutants who took a fish, strapped it to a roller skate, took a picture of it and used that for one of their posters.
In about 1990 a friend in high school had a Tye Dyed shirt with the Rick Griffin Jimi Hendrix Flying Eyeball on it. That image really struck something in me. At the time I had no idea that the image came from a concert poster from 1968. This was a few years before the internet. I finally found the same shirt for sale in a Head Shop in Florida while on vacation and bought one. I wore it until it fell apart. After the shirt was gone but not forgotten around 2001 I did a search on the internet and found out about the poster and Rick Griffin and many other artists from the era. This is when my love for concert poster art started. It's an expensive yet rewarding habit to have. I haven't bought much lately but plan on acquiring some new additions to my collection soon. I really enjoyed this documentary and want to thank the makers and the artists who were involved in it.
Hands down one of the best videos about art.

Awesome thank you!
The Psychedelic Era is by far my favorite.
Great job on this documentary. Love the great interviews and, of course, all the amazing artists and their art. 🤘🏻
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thanks for posting.
Absolutely wonderful! I've always been a fan of this art form. Thank you for introducing me to all these amazing artists. Well done!
Wow! I really enjoyed this. As a skateboarding rock-and-punk enthusiast teen growing up in Northeast Ohio, I saw a lot of Derek Hess posters when visiting different music shops, so I have been a big fan of his for quite a long time. Then I found the art of Coop, and became a fan of his -- then many of the other rock poster artists after that. I was also an artist, but not much of an illustrator. As much as I wanted to get into doing some of my own rock posters, the closest I got was sketching out some fake concert bills. I still do art, but still haven't done hardly any illustration. I would love to be hired for a poster or "album" art if someone was just looking for abstract or geometric abstraction art. For now, I will just continue to admire those that create rock posters!
Interesting. Into abstract as well...as well horror , crime , etc ...posters art are dope

Thanks! Great history lesson from the sources and not a book.
This was very inspiring!
I had a lot of black light posters. They were really cool.
Fantastic film! Nice to see these folks, I know so much of their work but none of the faces.
Thanks
This movie is beautiful, it felt very joyful. QQ: What is the name of the effect that imitates movement in Victor Moscoso's posters?
This is one of the few cases when vertical video would make more sense.
Professional screen printer... lol, me too bud. It's a life.
Does anyone know the name of the documentary about a bar in Nevada in the 60's that talks about psychodelia rock art and the beginning of rock art posters? There is a band in that movie that dresses in western clothes and were the house band there maybe? I need to own that movie but forget the name of it.
What year is this documentary from?
The flying eyeball did not originate with Griffin, Von Dutch used it in the counter culture before him, he might have not create it, but Griffin was inspired by Von Dutch to use it
💖💗💝❤️
song name
it was an accident once, the second time s a design...- Victor Moscoso
How old is this? JR looks like a baby
Yeah, he does. Makes sense though, considering this was released in 2009
This is a Stolen film
