This Original Proof Poster belonged to Frank Westlake owner of the legendary Bindweed Press in San Francisco!
The attractive and sought after "Pyramid Eye" poster is a popular 13th Floor Elevators issue created by a seldom used Family Dog Artist Steve Renick. The Original First Printing of FD-34 doesn't surface in our auctions very often. This example is unique because it's a green ink run original progressive proof TEST PRINT that belonged to Frank Westlake owner of the legendary Bindweed Press in San Francisco!
Texas native Roger Kynard "Roky" Erickson was a founding member of The 13th Floor Elevators and a pioneer of the psychedelic rock genre. The group was a major innovator of '60s Rock & the "San Francisco Sound". They made several stops to the Fillmore and Avalon early on.
