The Monkees: Saladin Productions Black Light Poster by Artist Robert ‘Bob’ Wendell (1967)
Famed American graphic artist Robert ‘Bob’ Wendell first dabbled in consumer marketing materials for major corporations in the early 1960s, including Quaker Oats and Pepsi Cola, before turning his talents to the emerging rock scene that was driving so much of the youth culture by the mid-1960s.
Wendell designed a series of psychedelic concert posters featuring some of the top rock and folk groups of the time, employing a technique that turned the images into what’s colloquial known as ‘blacklight’ art. The ink used in these posters react to UV blacklights and cause the related imagery to ‘pop’ or ‘glow’ under such light.
The Monkees may have emerged as a pre-fab band made for TV in 1965, but by 1967 they were an actual band that played all their instruments, toured with Jimi Hendrix as an opening act and recorded their masterwork album Headquarters which shot to Number One that fateful year.
Wendell paid tribute to Mickey, Davy, Mike and Peter with this headshop poster.
