The incredible poster art for the festival was once again produced by Simon Berndt. Berndt is based in South Africa and is a full-time illustrator with a degree in graphic design from Cape Peninsula University of Technology. His work draws inspiration from classic rock, with a distinctive psychedelic color palette. He has produced vintage-inspired poster artwork for Levitation Festival/Austin Psych Fest, Endless Daze Festival, Hell Fest and now Monolith on the Mesa for two years running.
“This year’s poster is part of a story line poster-series with Simon Berndt,” festival founder Dano Sanchez explains. “When I first saw Simon’s art I knew that he was the artist we wanted to work with. He understood my references and elevated them to the next level. With a nod to Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film of psychomagical realism, Holy Mountain, the setting depicted is perfect! The road to Monolith is a journey and an adventure as we move towards the high desert in search of a psychospiritual modality through which to share music, appreciate art, and just embrace the privilege to unplug from the vigorous momentum of our daily lives. Here on the mesa we can create a positive vibe and send a beam of focused intention out to the universe. This year Simon knocked it out of the park again with a bit of sci-fi for 2020. Our traveler has embarked on a lengthy journey to get to the source. Floating cabinets emit sub frequency tones that free the mind of chatter and transmit inner visions of psychedelic proportions.”
