Tripping Down Memory Lane with Woodstock Nation Art

If you experienced music in the rain, bell bottoms, neon colors, dizzying patterns, genuine tie dye and hair, lots of hair - you're probably a member of Woodstock Nation. I survived it all, and still love my patched jean jacket, boots and macrame decorations.

I also love the art and graphics from the Sixties - this lens pays homage to popular sixties artists, their work and their legacy with continuing influence on pop culture. I am an unabashed fan of Warhol, Max, Haring and Escher (okay, they're not all sixties artists but they influenced it or were inspired by the artists from that period ) ... and I really like the sixties-influenced work of contemporary artists Shepard Fairey and Banksy.
