FD 89-1

 

14" x 20" 1967

HA!

This playful piece by the master of psychedelic imagery, Rick Griffin, is one of my favorites...demonstrating his nuts sense of humor and fun, and the very clever use of his indecipherable letterforms that are absolute gibberish. He places them where you would expect to read something sensible...and you know that something's happening here, but you don't know what it i-i-i-i-s.....do you, Mr. Jones?

I do not want to let this fantastic piece of art go.

A bit soiled on top (but I think it can be cleaned up quite easily), staple holes in the corners, excellent condition, considering it's been in Funky Sam's bedroom, my room at 307 Portobello Road, London, then my flat in Barnes. It's made a lot of people wonder and smile over the years.

This is a Griffin classic. One of his best.
