Robert Williams actually started working in underground comix, founding Zap alongside Robert Crumb, after a stint as art director for Ed Roth. his work mixes elements of psychedlia and surrealism with pop culture for a profoundly jarring effect (just ask the censors about his piece that was used for a Guns N Roses album cover in the 80's). he's inspired generations of artists who've blatantly appropriated elements of his "lowbrow" style.
