A vibrant explosion of color, lettering, and 1960s subculture energy, this original 1967 poster by Rick Griffin is a brilliant example of the artist’s unmistakable psychedelic style. Created to promote Can-A-Blis Pipe & Cigarette Tobacco, the poster walks the line between commercial art and mind-bending visual poetry.
Griffin, best known for his legendary Fillmore concert posters and Zap Comix contributions, brings his signature typography and swirling compositions to this piece. The intricate lettering seems to melt and morph, surrounded by vivid, surreal imagery that echoes the acid-fueled spirit of the Summer of Love.
More than an advertisement, this poster is a cultural artifact—a piece of graphic rebellion from the height of the American counterculture. Its playful nod to cannabis in the brand name, combined with Griffin’s trippy aesthetic, makes it a standout in the artist’s catalog of underground graphics.
Highly sought after by collectors of psychedelic art, vintage ephemera, and American pop culture, this is a prime example of how even a tobacco promo can become iconic in the hands of a visual visionary.
