About this poster
Famously recognized as "Trip or Freak," this collaborative masterpiece is the result of the creative genius of three prominent poster artists of their time: Rick Griffin, Alton Kelley, and Stanley Mouse. It remains an iconic and enduring symbol of the psychedelic poster era.
At its core, the central image showcases Lon Chaney from the classic film "The Phantom of the Opera" (1925), which was Alton Kelley's artistic contribution. The concert details at the bottom of the poster were skillfully crafted by Rick Griffin, while the captivating "Trip or Freak" lettering, embodied in the form of a topless woman, was the artistic work of Stanley Mouse.
The Type 1 second print poster was intended to be part of a signed and numbered edition of 500. A small number of these are signed by Kelley, who did the numbering and a smaller number are signed by both Mouse and Kelley. Perhaps 25-30 are signed by all three artists as Griffin passed away before signing many. Of these 500 pieces, most were not signed or numbered. These measure approximately 19″ x 35″.
