Note of removed artist... *Christopher J. Barnaby &mdash; Webpage (not removed by me) Unfortunately I didn't get to see the article before it was deleted, maybe the artist isn't notable enough for his own article entry, but seems notable enough for a link on this article. --Thoric 23:17, 14 July 2005 (UTC)

David Singer
The Wiki link for this artist actually goes to a Scientoloigist's of the same name. The hompage link is fine, though.

Dali
We should not confuse psychedelic artists with surrealists... Salvador Dali has nothing to do with the psychedelic movement. I am therefore removing him of the list.

Are you surethat Dali has nothing to do with the psychedelic movement? Nothing I suppose except for being extremely influential to psychedelic artists everywhere. Dali's work became re-invigorated (after a decade or more of self-repetition) in the late fifties with a style that is strongly psychedelic. . . Perhaps he got a bottle of Sandoz? If I recall correctly Dali claimed his inspiration was an "audience with the Pope", however that wry humorist ever spoke euphemistically. Davidnormal 11:06, 20 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I didn't notice that Dali was removed. He most certainly inspired other psychedelic artists, and use of psychedelic drugs is not a requirement for being a psychedelic artist.  Dali is quoted in saying, "I don't do drugs. I am drugs." ... "Take me, I am the drug; take me, I am hallucinogenic".  --Thoric 16:07, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

sorry, this makes no sense. Why remove Dali, perhaps the father of psychedelic art and to many, the most psychedelic art around. Surrealism is the beginning of what we call psychedelic art, and should be referenced. And you leave Ernst Fuchs, who could be considered in the same realm as Dali. Please put Dali back on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.16.204.233 (talk) 14:30, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

hmm seems I was too hasty and he's back on there! Bravo Dali! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.16.204.233 (talk) 14:35, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Updated Psychedelic art page
Hello, I appreciate your insight into the era and its artists. Our studio owns a couple of the copyrights limited use of some of Rick Griffin's work, and have a great many images from other artists of that time. We commissioned a painting from Rick, and the original he was able to sell to collectors in England. I contributed names of artists from the Los Angeles area who were featured on the issue about poster art and psychedelic phenom in Life Magazine, September 1, 1967. Check out my article on artist Warren Dayton. I also linked John Van Hamersveld and Victor Moscoso's internal Wikipedia pages to their mentions. These guys are still alive and working: John Van Hamersveld recently did the posters for the Cream revival tour in 2007, and Warren Dayton's stuff was shown on the "Summer of Love" 40th anniversary documentary on PBS last summer American Experience program. He is also doing limited edition prints, and has been asked to reissue "Quack" poster, but is more interested in doing new stuff; he won the Society of Illustrator's of LA's national show. Rick Griffin, sadly, died ten years ago in a vehicle accident in Petaluma, California. He had no will, and left five children. WARNING TO ARTISTS: The IRS came down on his widow for over $200,000 in estate taxes, even though she was poor as dirt. Rick did all those Family Dog posters for usually $200 - $300, and Bill Graham owned the copyrights. He was usually really poor during the decades we knew him, and took any job (including airbrushing art on Surf boards to pay bills). The IRS values every sketch that he ever did at the top dollar any thing had ever sold for. She was able to fight it and get it down to under $100K, but it took almost as much in lawyers fees, and she had to sell much of what Rick had left to pay them. She operates a website about Rick, and sells some of the remaining Family Dog posters on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PosterArt (talk • contribs) 18:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC) PosterArt (talk) 18:31, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
