About
Wes Wilson
Born July 15, 1937
An American artist and one of the leading designers of psychedelic posters. Best known for designing posters for Bill Graham of The Fillmore in San Francisco, he invented a style that is now synonymous with the peace movement, psychedelic era and the 1960s. In particular, he is known for inventing and popularizing a "psychedelic" font around 1966 that made the letters look like they were moving or melting. His style was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement. Wilson is considered to be one of "The Big Five" San Francisco poster artists, along with Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Rick Griffin, and Stanley Mouse.
Bill Graham Posters
// Bill Graham Posters 1966 //
Bill Graham, concert promoter for the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco, commissioned the following concert posters from Wes Wilson between 1966 and 1968. Having recently married his second wife, Eva, this was an especially busy time for Wes. He completed 56 posters for Bill Graham in only 14 months, averaging one poster per week for the Fillmore. Wes and Eva's first son was born in August 1966 when Wes was supposed to be working on BG-24, which featured The Young Rascals and Quicksilver Messenger Service. Needless to say, that poster was a few days late. Ultimately, a financial dispute with Bill Graham put an end to their working relationship and Wes found other ways to flex his artistic muscles. But there is no denying this formidable body of work and the influence it has had on generations of poster artists.
Family Dog Productions
Wes made posters for Family Dog Productions and Bill Graham Presents simultaneously for five months until the workload became overwhelming. He enjoyed the artistic freedom that Bill Graham offered and began to produce work solely for the Fillmore until their eventual split in 1968. The following is Wes' collection of work for Family Dog Productions between 1966 and 1968.
