Description:

In 1967 – 1968, a small group of immensely talented people in the San Francisco Bay Area came together to form a short-lived but highly inventive poster and notecard company,  East Totem West. It’s founder, Joseph McHugh, took the poster — heretofore used primarily as a travel enticement or concert announcement to a new, revolutionary place: the poster as art. He began creating images — through the process of printing — that harkened to acid-trip visions and spiritual mandalas ... posters and notecards that sold by the thousands to the growing generation of hippies, freethinkers, bohemians, and individualists who were thriving in the San Francisco and had begun to find themselves all over America.
