Nigel Waymouth

Nigel Waymouth has influenced generations of artists and musicians across the globe. Born in India but raised in Argentina, Waymouth moved to England in 1954, where he completed his education at University College London. In February 1966,  Waymouth launched the now-legendary King’s Road boutique, Granny Takes a Trip, for which he designed clothes and the regularly changing shopfronts that were its signature feature. He soon teamed with fellow artist Michael English as the graphic design partnership, Hapshash & The Coloured Coat, and together they created many of the quintessential psychedelic pop posters of that era that continue to define the era. Indeed, their work with such artists as Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones, The Who, and many others is now part of the permanent collection of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum and is often featured prominently in retrospective exhibitions worldwide.

 

Since 1970, Waymouth has pursued a career as a fine artist, focusing on painting and portraiture, with many of his works now included in distinguished public and private collections. Having lived in California for over a decade, Waymouth now lives in London, where he continues to create masterful works of art – including the visionary Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival 2026 poster, marking his first original music poster art since the 1970s.

 

With this collaboration, Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival affirms its commitment to honoring poster art as a vital and enduring form within music culture.
