Early Alternate Poster for Jimi Hendrix's appearance at the Fillmore East in 1968. This preceded the now-famous orange final version Experience poster which included all the members of the band at Hendrix's request.

"After I decided to create a finished painting from the original pencil, I made a subsequent decision to create the art as I originally created its successor — as a backpainted film positive, the same process used before the digital era to create animation cells. I also decided against the black background (which I DID use on the Soon poster) in favor of a deep blue-green. For me, this somehow captures the Experience of seeing and hearing him live that night, the only time I got to see him perform.

Acrylic backpainted on film positive of ink drawing on vellum."
