Ewing : |
looks traced and more of an homage/direct rip. The line quality isn't very consistent. |

another possibility is that this art was lifted.
but that lettering is so very "griffiny", ya know? |

there's a brief window of time when irons could have done this ( after amsterdam but before he left for asia ). if it is his then it's possibly the last thing he did. i'll try and pick up his book from the library today. i seem to remember it had some of his flyer work in it with very similar "E's". |

I think Irons was in Asia when this was done. My buddy thinks it might be whoever drew this Bay Area demo cover:

but I'm not sure. |

I see some Griffin trademarks and maybe if he was super drunk I would believe he did it but otherwise I remain fairly unconvinced. Like, the flames are griffinesque but are missing a lot of the extra little flair he put into his flames. Stuff like that. |

Thanks to everyone one that has now opened me up to Rick Griffin's work. I'm very inspired now. (I'm very new to this 'Gig Poster' thing...) this just blew my world a new asshole. Who else do I need to check out? |

JohnnyThief : |
Griffin did become a Christian, but he was smarter than this generation of pretenders, he did all kinds of subject matter, realizing that it is all ink on paper, & it's ALL 'Christian' subject matter. Only very small minded people try to segregate something like a visual image into something acceptable,... Rick had a good vibe for the pulse of new energy, & was very involved in styles like punk before we lost him. |

i just shot this over to dennis king for his input. dennis was friends with rick and has a huge collection of rick's original pencils and inks. i quote " maybe, if rick was really drunk and this was on a cocktail napkin. most likely not".
agreed. it looks more like someone trying to draw like rick. |

Yeah, I thought that was a possibility. I don't know though, I'd be surprised if this was legit...there's something about it that just doesn't feel right. It's a good ape if it is though. |

it's possible that was an area he left blank and the promoter jotted it in but, he tried to look cool like griffin. seen that happen before many times. |

The venue info at the bottom looks suspect to me. Half caps, half lower, one Griffin type "E".
Interesting nonetheless. |

one of the things that sort of puts it over the top for me is the lettering. i know people who can fake griffin better than griffin, and they STILL could not have produced that lettering like that.
i dunno. he may have not known who the band was. he may have done it for some kid who simply asked. he may have been on one of his periodic benders and trying to be "opposite-man" who knows? griffin did an enormous amount of contradictory work in his time.
the idea that griffin actually did a slayer/punk poster is awesome. only "punky" street flyer type poster i've ever seen by griffin (if it is). |

I've seen a LOT of Griffin over the years, but not this one. As Seabury said, Dennis King might know more. |

Maybe copped a drawing and added Griffinesque lettering.
The lettering seems a little assymetrical for Griffin.
Someone write Dennis K. |

MaximumFluoride : |
hadn't Griffin converted to Christianity by this point? Slayer were very, very into the Satanism shit around this time which I'd guess was around 83-84. Possessed had extreme satanic imagery. Exodus as well. Seems a stretch he would have been into doing work for these bands. And it would have to have been free work as these bands had NO money this early on. I could be wrong though.
