Picture Set Of The Month - March - The Graphic Art of Martin Sharp

Martin Sharp is a name that I used to read
on the back of my old Cream albums;
On 'Disraeli Gears' it said 'Cover design by... ' 

He also wrote the lyrics of 'Tales of Brave Ullysses',
to Clapton' music, which is surely a highlight
of the Cream cannon, after 'Badge' and 'I Feel Free'. 

 

But his major contribution to the counter-culture
was as a graphic artist, with posters like the above,
which were perfect for that weekend hippy's bedroom walls.
There were also posters for events like the one below.  

Where if you attended, you might well not quite know
what was going on. The sense of the unknown became
the point. If afterwards you did not know what happened
 either, then that too seemed to be a good thing.
Millions of people were bored more rigidly
than they ever realised with knowing who they were,
where they were, and what they had to do, all the time.
Here is his website, which awaits construction.
