    When pitching the idea of doing a book on hippie art to Dan Nadel I had no clue it would end up taking 5 years to finish the damn thing.

    It was an odd process, and I want to begin this series of posts about the book by talking a bit about what bits didn’t make it into the book as a way…

  5. yeslifeblog: Electrical Banana book http://www.damianieditore.it/catalogue/594 Ah psych art…you pesky thing. I love you with all my heart, and i have spent countless hours and pounds on ebay collecting rare books and magazines of your finest artists. If only this fantastic (and cheap) primer had been out earlier, i could have saved all those hours and pounds on something else! But then i might have been fixated with Tanaami and ripped you off like everyone else in East London seems to be doing right now. To have this book produced and made is an amazing amazing thing, and one that should be supported by everyone with a half decent visual eye. Sometimes you gotta look back to go forward, and if you wanna still see some of the most progressive illustration and design, travel back with this book and enjoy. As a sidenote, it amazes and saddens me that most of the work in this book is over 40 years old yet still people are ripping most of those contained inside….

  6. 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.
