Waffoner

The signature “Waffoner” appears on the present poster as the work’s designer or illustrator, but despite extensive searching, no biographical record or professional profile for an artist by this name has been identified. The style—bold gradients, playful perspective, and pseudo-script typography—suggests a commercial illustrator active in the San Francisco Bay Area during the late 1970s or 1980s, likely working for advertising agencies or corporate promotional campaigns. Many such designers operated on contract and left little archival footprint, making attribution difficult.

At present, Waffoner remains an unidentified graphic artist, known only through this rare surviving work.
