	Rick Griffin Biography - AOL Music
		Rick Griffin pushed the rock music art of the psychedelic era to new creative peaks -- by turns wildly surreal and deeply spiritual, his work remains immediately recognizable for its richly vibrant colors and inscrutably liquid lettering, with his countless posters and album covers enduring among the most indeible and provocative images of their time.
		As the popularity of Griffin's designs soared, he was sought out to lend his vision to album jackets; his most memorable work was done in conjunction with the Grateful Dead, for whom he created the classic cover to 1969's Aoxomoxoa as well as 1973's Wake of the Flood, 1976's Steal Your Face and 1981's Reckoning.
		Griffin remained a prolific talent well past the end of the psychedelic era, later working in underground comix, and in the early 1970s he became a devout Christian, a conversion which profoundly affected his subsequent work, which included an illustrated adaptation of the Book of John.

		Richard Alden Griffin was born to Jim and Jackie Griffin on June 18, 1944, a little over a year before the Enola Gay would drop the Fat Boy on Hiroshima.
		Soonafter, Rick was introduced to Surfer publisher John Severson at a Torrance High screening of "Surf Fever," one of Severson's films, and he tapped the 16-year-old Griffin to contribute a strip to the second issue of Severson's fledgling new surf magazine.
		The first strip Rick contributed was called "The Gremmies," in which a crew of surf-stoked neophytes, moving in antic "Peanuts" lockstep, fly to Hawaii, take one horrifying stare at the enormous Sunset shorepound, and scurry back to the Mainland.

	About Rick Griffin's Eyeball poster.
		Rick's answer to this duality was Jesus, but he did not go directly to fundamentalist Christianity.
		It is Rick's vision of the all-seeing eye of God the father, the Old Testament "jealous and angry God" before whom Rick felt we are all wanting, all guilty, all unworthy sinners doomed to burn forever on a lake of fire.
		Rick saw this flaming eye in the sky that he believed saw everything and forgave nothing, this eye bearing the "memento mori" skull in its terrifying claw, and he sought something to intermediate between him and that awful eye.

	Advanced Illustration: COMICS
		Griffin’s work, while not entirely exempt from these themes, seems to be more concerned with building visual vocabularies (the flying eyeball is perhaps the most outstanding member of Griffin’s established vocabularies) and pushing the limits of the form than anything else.
		Rick always drew—is work not only took the form of comics, but also served as promotional and cover art for many bands and movies.
		In 1991, Rick Griffin was killed in a motorcycle accident.

	Artist of the Month: Rick Griffin
		When I was introduced to 60's poster art in 1989, Rick Griffin was the first whose art really intrigued me. I used to stare at the walls of the Postermat where I worked and trip out on the floating eyeballs and strange comic-strip style characters Rick is famous for.
		Rick used to ride up on the sidewalk in his huge Harley to stop and visit with Ben Friedman, the 80+-year-old owner of the famous poster shop in North Beach San Francisco.
		In 1964 Rick was in a car accident that dislocated his eye and badly scarred his face for life.

		Griffin did toss Wheary a gentle reminder about his sin of omission 25 years after the interview, though: "In 1989, at Glen Bray's Szulkalski Show at La Luz de Jesus in LA, Rick greeted me with 'Hey, it's Cub Calloway!' a reference to the ancient reporter in Dan O'Neill's Odd Bodkins strip.
		Griffin plays with shapes and colors in whatever medium he's using, and it's not especially important that sometimes he uses a sort of panel to panel continuity." I think he was referring to the Zaps -- specifically #2 and 3 -- but you've certainly used panel-to-panel continuity and done stories.
		Actually we were typecast for a while: They would think of Griffin and Moscoso as the guys who did all the stuff like that.

		For years before Rick Griffin was born, surfers explored the California coast, searching for beaches where Pacific Oceans swells formed ridable waves.
		Griffin is also one of the great letterers of all time; it's a real joy to read words written in his inimitable script (but imitated ever since, including almost every decent graffiti artist).
		Griffin was by all accounts a wonderful friend and a very spiritual man, and those qualities shine through in his art.
