In the late 1960's, at the height of the psychedelic era, Paul Narloch lived in northern California less than 80 miles from the Haight-Ashbury district. From his home he drew and created images right along with the famous San Francisco poster artists. Using pen, pencil, poster paint -- non-professional materials -- Paul created these acid-drenched drawings starting in 1967, and updated them from then through 1972.
