That really really really really really really really really really SUX.
Alton was with Moscoso and Griffin one of the guys that led me to graphic deisgn and rock posters. I really loved his job.That's a BIG loss.



RIP

To all who have so lovingly sent notes and rememberences about my brother , thank you. He was a special soul indeed and though he is gone he will never be forgotten. His art lives on and so he lives as well, to continue to inspire everyone to follow their hearts . Luckily for all of us he followed his and that has left us with a beautiful leagacy.

Long obits on Kelley are in today's SF Chronicle, Washington Post, Santa Rosa Press-Democrat. Definitely google 'em up, you'll be proud of being a poster artist, following
in Kelley's steps. We should all be hugely proud to get such recognition when we pass.

Great story,.. I guess we sometimes forget just how important people like this are. I never met the man but, I'll never forget his work.
