Frosty Pop, one of Rockin' Jelly Bean's early screen-printed posters, an early sheet that has been kept loosely rolled for some twenty years.
The Piece
A crimson she-devil with a mane of blonde hair and a wicked grin sits astride a giant ice lolly, its stick jutting out of the foot of the sheet, while the title Frosty Pop drips across the top in orange and cream. It is a compact, punchy image, drawn with the bold outline and limited flat palette of a 1960s concert handbill, with a Live on Stage roundel at the side.
Rockin' Jelly Bean, founder of the Erostika label in Tokyo, draws on 1960s and 1970s American pin-up, comic and drive-in imagery, and his small screen-printed editions are keenly pursued by collectors in Japan and abroad. Early sheets such as this one are far less often seen than his later numbered editions.
