About this poster
Initially drawn intending it to advertise the Avalon Ballroom shows for Pink Floyd and Howlin’ Wolf, which would have been FD 130/131. Chet Helms could not afford to have it printed in color, so the artists took it to Bill Graham. Griffin redrew the right and left panels with the new bands and dates. Kelley did the cryptic looking collage in the center. Griffin drew the lettering and the insect limb-looking border art around it.
BG133 advertised four consecutive Fillmore West mid-week and weekend concerts. A triptych in design, Griffin used hand-drawn color plates to make 3-D images project from the background, and the frames of the panel appear to be insect legs. A collaboration between Griffin and Alton Kelley, the image's central figure may be the herald from Hell, a menacing image which contrasts with the bubble-infused, cartoon-style lettering of the side panels.
The 2nd Printing was printed on glossy stock and bears a Wolfgang's notation in the lower right-hand margin. It was printed in 2018 by Wolfgang's in a 500 copy run. It measures 22" x 28 1/2".
