Gary Houston is one of the great American poster artists. Under the name Voodoo Catbox, he is best known for making silk-screen posters for music concerts. All of his work is numbered and signed. As each edition is sold out, no more posters of that image are ever reproduced.


"The image for this print portrays an ideal, rather than the way things are. The image is a totem pole, with the sun on top, a raven below, standing on a bear, who is holding a salmon. Man is seen at the bottom of the pole, supporting the weight. The sun, with an eagle on its forehead, is looking down and giving a blessing to what is below. This image was created in a stylized Northwest Coast Indian graphic form for several reasons. The first being that I am very attracted to the forms because of their graphic quality. Also, this design has the ability to build a narrative with semi-stylized, abstract forms and shapes. Finally, the subject has a very spiritual link." -Gary Houston
