Victor Moscoso, Master of Psychedelic Posters and Underground Comix, Spanish born, raised in Brooklyn, educated in the New York City school system, Cooper Union Art School and the Yale School of Art. In 1959 Moscoso traveled to the West Coast and the San Francisco Art Institute, where he later taught lithography for five years. It was during this time professional lightning struck in the form of the psychedelic poster for the San Francisco "Hippy" dance halls and clubs. Moscoso's posters for the Family Dog dance-concerts at the Avalon Ballroom and his Neon Rose posters for the Matrix were to bring his work international attention in the "Summer of Love," 1967. Within a year lightning would strike again in form of Underground Comix. As one of the Zap Comix Artists, Moscoso's work once again received international attention.
Moscoso's comix and poster work has continued up to the present as well as album covers for musicians such as Jerry Garcia, Bob Weir, Herbie Hancock and David Grissman, T-shirts, billboards, animated commercials for radio stations (for which he received two CLIOs).
