Wes Wilson

Wes Wilson is well known for his psychedelic, 60s Grapic posters. These in which promoted musicians of this age in time.



This above was one of the posters. The text on the right of the poster has been manipulated into a bone like shape that emphasizes the body next to it. a large mojority of this image is constructed by curly lines. This is creating a trippy/dreamy affect. Similarly the yellow eliminates from the black and draws your eye towards it, therefor creating this psychedelic effect. Both of these traits I would like to use in my art works. I think this works well as the symbol thats being held illustrates peace and freedom, leading you to beleive that this is a form of escape from day to day life.
