This beautiful print of The FAB 4 was given to me about 10 years ago
from a friend who spent many years in San Fransisco and collected very cool stuff.
There are a few thing I know about the piece, and some that I'm not clear about...maybe you can help.
I've thought about putting it on ebay, but need more facts.
What I know:
* It's 8x8 on heavy stock
* (c) 1967 MILLER SIRKIA
* Printed with awesome DayGlo Ink. (looks great under blacklight!)
* The piece was reproduced in the S. Calif. edition of the famed San Fransisco
underground newspaper THE ORACLE, along with an interview with George Harrison.
I know this, because I have the paper too.
* It is in terrific condition.
What I was told:
* The art was designed as a promo for the possiblity that the Beatles were going to
play the MONTERRAY POP FEST. Paul McCartney was on the board for the fest,
so there was a real chance they might play.
* There were only 1000 of these reproduced in 1967
What I don't know/would like to find out:
*WHO is the Artist(s)? - MILLER SIRKIA typed at the bottom of the art.
I can't find anything out about the artist, any help in this regard would be wonderful!
Thank You!
Peace,
"Java" John

The artist is Johnny Miller, according to my large poster version of this. I also can't find out much else about him.
