C. 1974-75 11&1/4 x 8&1/8" ORIGINAL pen/india ink (with white highlights) artwork on thick Crescent Art board featuring a logo created for the Welsh rock band "MAN", for their 1975 United Artists album (featuring Quicksilver's John Cipollina), "Maximum Darkness". Art by (and SIGNED in pencil by) the one and only Rick Griffin, this piece is VERY clean overall.... just a few tiny surface marks and a bit of peeling on the reverse (not an issue, as the piece of board is VERY thick) and a trace of edge wear, otherwise it is as clean as can be. An absolutely STUNNING FULLY-RENDERED and SIGNED Rick Griffin ORIGINAL ART featuring one of Rick's most stylized band logos. There are a few "Man"-related pieces out there from this project (a lot of partial progressives and sketches), but this is the actual FINAL version that was actually used for the album cover (see photo*).
