This highly sought after masterpiece by artist Lee Conklin is one of the most requested and well known posters in the Fillmore series. This stunning black and white illustration exemplifies the artists’ style of hidden and flowing images. The art was so powerful that Santana had the piece reworked for their first album cover.
