Martin Sharp from Electrical Banana, co-authored with Norman Hathaway.  I’m really proud of this book, which rediscovers a number of important artists and repositions psychedelia as something that links together a kind of image-making and image-thinking, rather than a genre, per se. It makes a persuasive case for looking at “psychedelic art” as an international and inter- disciplinary phenomenon, and one often created not only by hippies but by designers who dipped into the zeitgeist for a minute and then went on to equally interesting careers, including the only major female psych artist, Marijke Dunham.
