Goines' name and 1989, the year of the poster's creation, are printed to the left of the vase.

The poster was printed in 13 colors in an edition of 1795, of which 300 copies are signed.

After graduating from the University of California, Berkeley, Goines started his career as a printer’s apprentice. He soon founded the Saint Hieronymous Press in Berkeley, where he still works.
