Artwork and Collectibility
The poster features the Family Dog logo, an image of a Native American chief in a top hat, with swirling red and blue pinwheels over his eyes, which symbolized the psychedelic experience. Moscoso's use of clashing, vibrant colors was a signature of the era's art style, aiming for optical effects. |
