Created by Rick Shubb, the design features his distinctive pen-and-ink grotesquerie: twisted humanoid figures, grinning skulls, and fantastical creatures surrounding a bold yellow scroll that announces the three-night engagement with James \u0026amp; Bobby Purify and Sons of Champlin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Carousel Ballroom holds a unique place in rock history as the musician-owned cooperative that operated for just five months in the spring of 1968. Run by members of the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane, it represented the countercultural ideal of artists controlling their own destiny before financial realities forced its sale to Bill Graham, who transformed it into the legendary Fillmore West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShubb's intricate illustrative style sets this poster apart from the more common flowing Art Nouveau approach of the era. The Celtic-influenced border pattern in pink, blue, and green frames the central composition with geometric precision. A standout piece for collectors of San Francisco psychedelic art and the brief but significant Carousel Ballroom series.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14\" x 11\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rick Shubb\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Good, Age-appropriate wear, fading and toning.
