Wes Wilson is known for being a part in the art of the psychedelic era in the 60's and 70's. What I can see from his artwork he is very well known for designing psychedelic posters and advertisements. He designed a lot of posters to promote concerts held in the Fillmore Auditorium, he became known as the "Rock Poster Guru". Wes Wilson did work pre-computer in the 60's. I chose Wes Wilson as my artist for this project because I was fascinated by his work, and how he used similar typography in each, yet each piece was so different from one another. I also enjoyed his color schemes he used, some pictures were very colorful and some were colorless. I also enjoy the counterculture and the psychedelic era, and it interests me that he was a part of that.
