We are pleased to offer this ULTRA RARE version of the classic Rick Griffin BG-136 Big Brother & Santana Fillmore West printed on pellon. A pellon is a piece of felt fabric with design made to test print on, and then send to the management for approval to be used for Tshirts and merchandise. They are VERY rare and only one or two were ever made of each design. This particular gem was acquired by the consignor directly from Paul Grushkin at a table at Wes Wilson's 2nd Hall of Flowers Poster Show in 1992! While this item wasn't graded, it's in pristine "like new" condition.

 

The Heart and Torch is one of Rick Griffin's most famous images. Experienced collectors and newbies alike LOVE the beautiful colors, killer lettering, and symmetrical design of this incredible work of art by the master of the genre. Janis was obviously part of Big Brother when the original artwork was created for the Fillmore West show.
