I give it a 90% for blacklight use quality, and it is indeed a pretty trippy poster. You can really get lost in it....

I am the most famous unknown artist in the world. This poster was extracted out of the center of a pen and ink drawing I published in 1969 by the Platt Poster Company in Los Angeles, in violation of my copyright notice. Since then, other publishers obtained the negatives from Platt, and published more pirated editions. Today, most resellers don't even look at the work they are selling, and describe the work as "artist unknown" even though my signature block in the lower left clearly says: "E. A. Mattila, 1969". That's "Erik A. Mattila", folks - me. In the pirate edition published by Funky Enterprises in the early 70's, however, these charming and ethical businessmen at Funky changed the signature date to "1971" and had the audacity to print a copyright 1974 notice at the bottom. I can only guess why...the difference between 1971 and 1974 is 3 years, which is also the statute of limitations for a copyright infringement. You can see a high resolution pic of this edition on the New Jersey Public Library's "The Art of the Poster" web site @

This print is not for sale. The new one, in full size, will be released on eBay in a few weeks as "AKA Lost Horizon."
