Image may not exactly match item shipped.
Western swing band Asleep at the Wheel, still held together today by frontman Ray Benson after 30 years of changing personnel, headlined this dance concert for Santa Cruz radio station KUSP also featuring rock guitarist Larry Hosford, a popular soloist in the '70s. Jim Phillips, in-demand poster artist/illustrator for many Santa Cruz-area shows in the '70s and well-known for his surfer art drawings, drew a vehicle remarkably similar to his famous, 1982 'Woody' print for the poster.
Jim Phillips, a Santa Cruz native, is a graphic artist whose design work includes rock posters, skateboard decks and surfer T-shirts. Permanently settling in California in 1968 with his wife and new son, Phillips began designing for Bill Graham Presents and Family Dog, where he later became Art Director. Phillips has always encouraged beginning artists, and he continues to paint surfer and skateboard art, designs the infrequent poster and collaborates on various projects with his artist son, Jimbo.
