- Seattle times WWW site, viewed Feb. 5, 2020(in obituary updated Feb. 3, 2020: Wes Wilson, who helped create the trippy look associated with the second half of the 1960s through the vivid, swirling posters he made for rock shows by the Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and others, died Jan. 24 at his home in Leanne, Missouri. He was 82. Posters had been used to advertise stage shows for decades, but most were utilitarian conveyors of date, time and place. Wilson, along with several other poster artists, took the form to a different level, one full of loud colors, attention-getting imagery and vibrant typography. Robert Wesley Wilson was born on July 15, 1937, in Sacramento, California)
