Psychdellic poster art!













I was convinced that i had blogged this for some reason. ..well here goes anyway. Psychedelic poster art was mainly an attribute of 60s poster and album art and heavily inspired by LSD and other hallucinogenic drugs created by artists, my favourite being Gary Grimshaw. I enjoy the whimsical movements in the posters and how they are contrasted with these absurd colour palettes and (usually)a prominnat image within spiralling or curved text of animals, women or bands, what especially intrigues me is the screen printing techniques and trying to figure out how some of the effects were achieved.
