"John Lennon made him design consultant to the Beatles, which led to a line of puckish Apple-shaped clocks and other tchotchkes and, more importantly, to the innovative book, The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics, which is how most of us in Fab-obsessed L.A. know him. He hung with Hendrix, fought off Salvador Dali in an airport drawing duel, and his album covers for the likes of Cream and the Who are likely better known today than the music etched therein."
