This
psychedelic promotional flyer for a friends annual summer party
was pure enjoyment to work on. I was given free range as to the
content, the only consideration being that it resemble a psychedelic
concert poster from the sixties.
The
final design was developed based on a few Rick Griffin and Stanley
Mouse motifs, then scanned and the line art completed in Adobe
Illustrator. Trippy colors were added, some psychedelic creature
machines from my personal artwork were added, plenty of eyeballs
and flames, pyramids, a dash of lava lamp looking letters and
voilá!
The
'Greatest Party in the World (a tribute)' theme is itself a tribute
to Dave's favorite band of all time, Tenacious D and their song
(which Dave sang the whole time we camped in Upper Peninsula Michigan),
'The Greatest Song in the World (a tribute). You have to hear
the song (and know Dave) to get the joke. Great party, by the
way.
