'70s Nature Posters: The Lost Art of Rick Sharp is the engaging and often humorous memoir by one of Santa Barbara's most iconic poster artists – whose early work came to symbolize the "back to nature" movement of the 1970s. With just India ink and pen, the young artist created a treasure trove of romantic, idealistic posters ... lost in time until now. 
Presenting an extensive collection of this artwork for the first time, Sharp's memoir provides a candid, personal look at the often-reclusive young man behind the work: his early life as child prodigy in Texas ... his surfing escapades as a teen ... his near-death experience in Mexico ... and his unorthodox search for the perfect model and mate. In between, it is laced with funny anecdotes recounting his relationship with rock stars, his own musical compositions, and his struggle to be accepted as an incurable, hopeless romantic. 
Follow this passionate youth into fields of flowers, mountain creeks and pristine beaches – as he celebrates Mother Earth through art.
