moscoso has always been a hero of mine... i wish he wasnt sorta hard to deal with *nuff said* still a hero... and now that i know his daughter is cute, thats even cooler.

frank, i'm not talking about this poster, i was talking about another moscosso i love - annabella's butterfly dance. i've studied it for years and never quite figured it out. there's always an angle to it that ruins my guess. i've learned a huge amount from studying moscosso's poster work.

I think that the red was knocked out of the green which was printed first. then the blue over printed the red in the box but butt registered everywhere else. i think this is a 3 color job with the black being an overprint of all 3 colors.

over the years i've sold off most of my old psych poster collection (i must have had them all at one point or another), but i still have this one. it still blows me away. i also am extrmely fond of 'annabella's butterfly dance.' that one still befuddles me. exactly what was the printing order, and how did he pull that off with only a stat camera and a pen?

This is FD50 titled 'Break on through to the Other Side'.. Any collector will tell you that FD + Doors + Victor Moscoso equals some of the most sought after FD posters..not too difficult to figure..haven't been in front of this unfortunately but the Mososco pieces I have seen..like FD61 titled 'Butterfly Lady'..also for a Doors/Sparrow show..literally stun me into silence...

art chantry :

this is a famous poster by victor moscosso. he was like the third name of the holy trinity of psych poster artists (the others being mouse and giffin). he probably did more posters than anybody, but is less known because he's not in the 'art of rock' book (you know, "the bible") because he wanted to get paid. he was a mad spaniard who was using DESIGN techniques (as opposed to ILLUSTRATION techniques) to do posters. he was one of the few who knew how to use and took advantage of a stat camera and printing techniques to do his work. he did some posters that i still can't figure out how he did it. this guy was probably the single biggest influence on me when (i was a kid) to do graphic design.
by the way, 'the sparrow' later became 'steppenwolf'. this poster is from 1967, i think.
