You Call This Art?!!

A Greg Irons Retrospective

Written and Compiled by Patrick Rosenkranz

While not strictly about tattoo art, this book includes a very impressive section that contains much of Greg Irons' retro biker tattoo art from his time as a tattoo artist, and you can also see this tattoo influence in some of his other graphic work.

This retrospective spans his whole artistic career, from his earliest dance posters, to his ground-breaking science fiction and horror comix, to his innovative and colorful tattoo art. Greg Irons was one of the elite among poster artists who worked for Bill Graham's Fillmore Ballroom in San Francisco during the Age of Aquarius designing posters for Chuck Berry, Jefferson Airplane, Big Brother, and Paul Butterfield. You Call This Art?!! reprints his finest psychedelic posters in full-color, as well as complete comic stories from Slow Death Funnies, Legion of Charlies, Deviant Slice, Yellow Dog, Thrilling Murder, and many other underground comic books. It also includes rarely-seen album cover art for Jerry Garcia, Blue Cheer, Jefferson Starship and other counterculture musicians. Irons had a third career as an illustrator of children's coloring books, and pages from books including One Old Oxford Ox, Last of the Dinosaurs, Pirates, and Wyf of Bathe appear as well.
