On Sunday psychedelic artist/designer Alton Kelley passed away at his California home. [MetaFilter]
Known for his the design of Grateful Dead’s Skull and Roses release, Kelley’s poster and album cover designs are a great visual representation of the time period known as “San Francisco style.”
Oddly enough, musician Bo Diddley, for whom Kelley had designed his 1966 San Francisco concert posters, died yesterday at the age of 79.
