1970 GawdAwful Graphics 'Highway Child' Blacklight Poster by P. Tagno - A 1970 GawdAwful Graphics 'Highway Child' blacklight poster, designed by P. Tagno. Rendered on paper with fluorescent inks, the artwork depicts a stylized, rebellious child character with a ponytail and suspenders, astride a custom motorcycle-like contraption with large exhaust pipes and prominent wheels, giving a middle finger gesture. The scene is set against a vibrant, multi-hued landscape with a large setting or rising sun. The style is characteristic of late 1960s to early 1970s counter-culture art. Visible text includes ”HIGHWAY CHILD” in an oval frame at the bottom center, and ”© 1970 GAWDAWFUL GRAPHICS LOS ANGELES, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED” along the bottom left edge. A signature ”P. TAGNO 1970” is present in the lower right section of the main image. The poster retains strong colors, especially when viewed under blacklight. Width: 36 inches Height: 24 inches Minor creasing and edge wear, particularly along the top and bottom borders, consistent with age and handling. Colors remain strong.
