Psychedelic Poster Art Masters

The psychedelic art movement of the 1960s and 70s, aside from being the only graphic art form inspired by mind altering experiences induced by hallucinogens, has produced some of the most amazing poster art that has ever existed. Coinciding with the anti-conservative counter culture of the time, the art form expressed a free flowing kaleidoscopic mash of colour, illustration, design and typography.

Below is a collection of some of the posters of the time from legendary artists such as Rick Griffin, Stanley Mouse, Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Wes Wilson and others. Enjoy.

it was back then too..but then you all don't know me yet! and i wouldn't take that literally as me being back then as I dont yet know my past life..so we have to get some things worked out here okay?! my past is not their past, so hippy is a misnomer for me as i live being from the 90's adult stance and mind of alternative. which did back then indeed include walking into a room set up with fabric like walking into a marquee tent sort of thing. and looking at my trippy friends artwork and his telling me he was tripping when he made it and i didn't really see much in it. like the dark narrow hallway in redfern all those years ago and thinking with my last ever trip as i was alone, get me off this rollercoaster i need sleep! blessed be
