About this poster

"This piece is based on 2 early posters from Wes Wilson. He is credited for single-handedly pioneering what is now known as the psychedelic poster. In San Francisco, he invented a visual style that is now synonymous with the 1960s... the music, the peace movement, and the psychedelic era. In particular, he is known for inventing and popularizing the "psychedelic" font around 1966 and filling all available poster space with lettering, of creating fluid forms made from letters, and using flowing letters to create shapes. His work became the standard that most psychedelic artists followed. He helped put the "psychedelic" in the art. This poster is considered the very first psychedelic poster. Wilson's work grew into the mainstream, resulting in profiles in magazines including Time, Life, and Variety. His influence on pop-culture and graphic design is still felt to this day." - EMEK


This double sided poster is a tribute to Wes Wilson’s iconic 60’s imagery. Side A incorporates Ween's very early vintage imagery, with a 9 fingered, Jerry Garcia "Boognish" Ween Deity. Side B is a tribute to the very first psychedelic lettering that Wes Wilson created. (Emek repeated the band’s name several times…Wes Wilson was also the first person to repeat the name of a band 3 times, in his Byrds poster, called BG-57.)
