David Edward Byrd Prints and Multiples

American, 1941-2025
David Edward Byrd (April 4, 1941 – February 3, 2025) was an American graphic artist, designer, illustrator, and painter. Many of his designs are considered to have helped to define the look of rock and roll music. He was best known for his classic Rock and Roll and Broadway poster designs. After showing his portfolio to Bill Graham he signed on as the exclusive poster and program designer, beginning with a poster for the upcoming Traffic event. In the period 1968 to 1973, he and Fantasy Unlimited created posters for Jimi Hendrix, Iron Butterfly, Jefferson Airplane, Ravi Shankar, Traffic, and Bill Graham favorite the Grateful Dead. The poster that Byrd created for Bill Graham's Fillmore East, for the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1968, was voted #8 in the Top 25 Rock Posters of all time by Billboard Magazine. Byrd created the poster for The Rolling Stones 1969 American Tour, which culminated in Altamont concert in Northern California. In 1969 he also met with Jimi Hendrix to create the art for Hendrix's 1969 American concert tour. Jimi liked that art so much that he used it for Jimi's press release that year. When the four members of the rock band KISS released individual solo albums in 1978, Byrd was hired to create an individual poster for each album, designed in such a way so they all could be hung together as a mural. He worked with The Who for their rock opera Tommy, designing the poster for the band's 1971 performance at the Metropolitan Opera House. Byrd did the movie poster for the 1975 adaptation of Nathanael West's The Day of the Locust starring Donald Sutherland and Karen Black. He illustrated the cover of the 1974 album Sally Can't Dance by Lou Reed, and the 2016 album Lou Reed - The RCA and Arista Collection In 1981, Byrd came to Los Angeles to work as the Art Director for the Fair Warning Tour for Van Halen. After that he created many poster creations in and around Los Angeles.
