He was also the last artist to produce an original series for the Fillmore. Singer's designs employ diverse collaged elements, drawn from both photographic and printed sources, to produce fantastic and often surreal scenes.","physicalDescription":"Psychedelic poster advertising a concert for Savoy Brown and Sea Train.  The central image sits within an orange frame and features a half-length carved figure of Christ below a silver dollar.  Both of these elements are collaged into a desert landscape.  The event details are printed in black stylised letters, above and below this image, on the grey background.
