This 1st Annual Surf-A-Lele Art Show Santa Cruz Postcard is the first to appear in our auction. The design features an early pen & ink illustration of "Murph the Surf", possibly reprinted from an early 60's issue of SURF-TOONS or SURFER MAGAZINE, etc. Very limited print run of this invitation to a private party in Santa Cruz during June 2003. Extremely limited distribution (pretty much limited to friends of the late Michael "Murphy" Graham only, i.e. you won't see another copy anywhere anytime soon). Ida Griffin, Rick Griffin's widow, gave permission to use Rick's early surf comic character on this invite postcard when it was produced. 

 

Condition: postmarked / addressed on reverse.
