In particular, he was known for inventing and popularizing a \u201cpsychedelic\u201d font around 1966 that made the letters look like they were moving or melting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-normal-font-size\">His style was heavily influenced by the Art Nouveau movement. Wilson was considered to be one of \u201dThe Big Five\u201d San Francisco poster artists, along with Alton Kelley, Victor Moscoso, Rick Griffin, and Stanley Mouse. Today his posters are converted among collectors, bringing hundreds or thousands of dollars.
