Alton Kelley

One of the most influential artists of his time and one of my biggest influences, Alton Kelley, passed away a few days ago and will definitely be remembered. NPR ran a great story on his life and his art. Here’s an exceprt from the story:

Some call the art a visual extension of the music. Others call it the visual for a psychedelic experience. Mouse says it was both, and that the joke between the two of them was that you had to be under the influence to understand it. But ideas, Mouse says, came from trips to libraries and art galleries. Kelley and Mouse poured over books of Gustav Klimpt, Japanese poster art, and art nouveau.

Go over to NPR to listen to or read the complete story.
