Leading proponents of the 1960s Psychedelic Art movement were San Francisco poster artists such as [[Rick Griffin]], [[Victor Moscoso]], [[Bonnie MacLean]], [[Stanley Mouse]] and [[Alton Kelley]], and [[Wes Wilson]]. Their psychedelic-rock concert posters were inspired by [[Art Nouveau]], [[Victoriana]], [[Dada]], and [[Pop Art]]. Posters for concerts in the [[Fillmore West]], a concert auditorium in San Francisco, popular with hippie audiences, were among the most notable of the time. Richly saturated colors in glaring contrast, elaborately ornate lettering, strongly symmetrical composition, collage elements, rubber-like distortions, and bizarre iconography are all hallmarks of the San Francisco psychedelic poster art style. The style flourished from roughly the years 1966 until 1972. Their work was immediately influential to album cover art, and indeed all of the aforementioned artists also created album covers.

Psychedelic [[Liquid light show|light shows]] were a new art form developed for rock concerts. Using oil and dye in an emulsion that was set between large convex lenses upon overhead projectors, the light-show artists created bubbling liquid visuals that pulsed in rhythm to the music. This was mixed with slide shows and film loops to create an improvisational motion picture art form, and to give visual representation to the improvisational jams of the rock bands and create a completely "trippy" atmosphere for the audience.{{citation needed|date=August 2017}}
The Brotherhood of Light were responsible for many of the light shows in San Francisco psychedelic rock concerts.

Out of the psychedelic counterculture there also arose a new genre of comic books: [[underground comix]]. ''Zap Comix'' was among the original underground comics, and featured the work of [[Robert Crumb]], [[S. Clay Wilson]], Victor Moscoso, [[Rick Griffin]], and [[Robert Williams (artist)|Robert Williams]] among others. Underground comix were ribald and intensely satirical, and seemed to pursue weirdness for the sake of weirdness. [[Gilbert Shelton]] created perhaps the most enduring of underground cartoon characters, ''[[The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers]]'', whose drugged-out exploits held a mirror up to the hippie lifestyle of the 1960s.

As in other counterculture movements such as the beat movement and the later [[punk movement]], hippie symbols and iconography were purposely borrowed from either "low" or "primitive" cultures, with hippie fashion reflecting a disorderly, often [[Vagrancy (people)|vagrant]] style.<ref name="Katz_1988_120">{{harvnb|Katz|1988|pp=120}}.</ref> As with other adolescent, white middle-class movements, [[deviance (sociology)|deviant behavior]] of the hippies involved challenging the prevailing [[gender differences]] of their time: both men and women in the hippie movement wore jeans and maintained long hair,<ref name="Katz_1988_125">{{harvnb|Katz|1988|pp=125}}.</ref> and both genders wore sandals, moccasins or went [[barefoot]].<ref name="Tompkins_2001b" /> Men often wore beards,<ref name="Pendergast" /> while women wore little or no makeup, with many going [[braless]].<ref name="Tompkins_2001b">{{harvnb|Tompkins|2001b}}</ref> Hippies often chose brightly colored clothing and wore unusual [[Styles of clothing|styles]], such as [[Bell-bottoms|bell-bottom]] pants, vests, [[tie-dye]]d garments, [[dashiki]]s, [[peasant blouses]], and long, full skirts; non-Western inspired clothing with [[Indigenous peoples of the Americas|Native American]], [[Latin America]]n, African and Asiatic motifs was also popular. Much hippie clothing was self-made in defiance of corporate culture, and hippies often purchased their clothes from flea markets and second-hand shops.<ref name="Pendergast" /> Favored accessories for both men and women included Native American jewelry, head scarves, headbands and [[Love beads|long beaded necklaces]].<ref name="Tompkins_2001b" /> Hippie homes, vehicles and other possessions were often decorated with [[psychedelic art]]. The bold colors, hand-made clothing and loose fitting clothes opposed the tight and uniform clothing of the 1940s and 1950s. It also rejected consumerism in that the hand-production of clothing called for self-efficiency and individuality.<ref>{{cite book |last=Pendergast |first=Sara |title=Fashion, Costume, and Culture: Clothing, Headwear, Body Decorations, and Footwear Through the Ages |year=2004 |publisher=UXL |location=Detroit |page=640}}</ref>
