Desert artist Noble Richardson first met Kurt at UCLA, and they became fast friends. That friendship lasted until Kurt's death in 2011. They shared a love of art, nature and psychedelics, and Noble was a resident artist at the Diamond Sufi Ranch on-and-off during the 1970s. Noble painted the huge mural which adorned one wall in the Diamond Sutra Restaurant; more examples of Noble's silk-screen prints and paintings are available by clicking on the link below.
