In 1978 the

came together for the first Streetfaire,
advertised with a poster by artist David Wills.

In 1979, for
the 2nd Annual Streetfair, a Poster Contest was launched...
My entry was the first winner...

(click on each poster for a larger view)

In 1980 I hand airbrushed 150
t-shirts that were given to the
Volunteers helping out the day
of the 3rd Annual Streetfaire,



designed the first in a
string of Backstage Passes,

and also designed the poster
to the right, for a show at
The Soft Touch Gallery
(Now Long Gone)....

In 1981
for the 4th Annual Streetfair
again, I designed a Volunteer t-shirt (this time silkscreened) and Backstage Pass.

In 1983 (6th Annual)
my second contest winner

The same year I created this similar design for t-shirts

Printed black on white shirts, then airbrushed
with purple and green - 200 printed

Same design in full color - 2007


19841985,
two years that NO Poster Contest was held.

In 1986 I created the signature logo
then&now.
This design is usually printed in a specific color palette on the volunteers t-shirts helping the day of the fair.
It is also available in it's full 4-color glory at the Streetfair booth at Haight and Ashbury every year the day of the fair.
(Available also at Haight Ashbury T-Shirts - 1500 Haight Street.)


Then in 1989 (12th Annual)
my third winner

1990 T-Shirt Design

for an insert in the
Bay Guardian
- 1992

In 1996
I entered the Contest with a computer-generated collage

A Hieronimus Bosch background plastered with photos of everybody involved in the
development and continued functioning of the fair, plus cultural, pop and cartoon icons...
and 3-D lettering, one of my favorites (I think of it as my version of the Sgt. Pepper
album cover)... too bad it didn't win...

And finally in 1997

my fourth winner the 20th Anniversary poster,
which I originally designed in 1982 as a Fifth Annual Poster, a black & white image
that I subsequently scanned, digitized, colorised and manipulated to include a small
caricature of myself and my previous winning posters (in one of the booths in the scene) and more......
