Known for his legendary concert poster of Jimi Hendrix at LA ’ s Shrine Auditorium and quintessential artwork from the movie The Endless Summer , Van Hamersveld has played an instrumental role in shaping the visual culture of rock n ’ roll and SoCal life since the 1960s . His full design of the 1984 Olympic Mural at the LA Coliseum brought him , as well as Los Angeles , worldwide attention . The impact of the Endless Summer movie poster led Van Hamersveld to Capitol Records , where he worked on the design of numerous chart-topping records that still resonate today including The Magical Mystery Tour Beatles Album , The Rolling Stones ’ Exile on Main Street , The Grateful Dead ’ s Skeletons from the Closet , and Kiss ’ Hotter than Hell . In the 80s and 90s , Van Hamersveld worked with various corporations as a design consultant , focusing on the communication of ideas and attitude through imagery . Van Hamersveld ’ s design work has included projects for Kate Mantilini Restaurant , LA Style , Buzz Magazine , Gotcha Surfware and a rebranded drive-through window for Fatburger .
