This original pen and ink drawing is signed by the artist, the late Rick Griffin!
We are excited to offer this ORIGINAL ART pen & ink drawing by the late great master Rick Griffin. The opportunity to acquire a one-of-a-kind drawing from the legendary artist is something we consider an important PAE auction event. The artwork includes two different versions of lettering reading "EXTREMELY HEAVY!!!". The lettering was used for the cover of The Underground All-stars' 1969 album, Extremely Heavy. The art direction for the cover was by fellow poster artist John Van Hamersveld!
In recent years we have witnessed a huge increase in demand for Griffin Original Art by collectors worldwide. The reason is simple. In most cases, artwork like this does not make it outside the artist’s circle of immediate family or personal possessions. So when something like this DOES surface, its uniqueness and desirability is quickly perceived by collectors. This will be the ONLY CHANCE you have to bid on this piece in our auction!
