Ever wonder who drew many of those famous promotional posters for shows at San Francisco's Avalon Ballroom and the Fillmore West in the 1960s?
He was a guy named Wes Wilson. Here's a display of some of the posters.
He only drew them from February 1966 to May 1967, when he and promoter Bill Graham disagreed about compensation. I know. Who'd think an artist and his client would differ about the value of the art?
Wilson is still active at age 72; here's his website.
