Happy Halloween Heads 💀
In 1980, The Grateful Dead played an epic show run. It began with 15 nights at the Warfield in San Francisco to celebrate their 15 year anniversary, and ended on Halloween, after a 10 night run at Radio City Music Hall in NYC. This show was one of the first times a rock concert was live streamed as a major broadcast on television.
Dennis Larkins created three paintings for this run. Two became posters for the Warfield and Radio City shows, and the other became the album cover for “Dead Set.”
Larkins’ Warfield poster is an iconic piece of California Dead history that will be proudly displayed at the opening of “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” on December 6th in Grass Valley, CA.
So come on out and party on! 🎉
Damn straight “Good Ol Grateful Dead” by the modern master @ajmasthay Stay tuned for some very exciting news pertaining to him and “60 Years of the Grateful Dead.”
Our journey to the “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” opening on December 6th wouldn’t be complete without showcasing the godfather himself: Rick Griffin.
Few artists have captured the spirit of psychedelia like Griffin, whose life and career epitomized the spirit of the counterculture movement and helped to define its artistic aesthetic.
Born in 1944 in Southern California, Griffin developed a passion for art at a young age. He got his start in the surf and skate scene, designing boards and logos, then began creating illustrations for Surfer magazine while in high school before moving on to underground comix like Zap and Man From Utopia. With intricate details, mythical creatures, and cosmic landscapes, Griffin’s art pulled viewers into a hallucinatory world of imagination and introspection.
His talent and unique style quickly gained recognition, leading him to become one of the most prominent figures of the counterculture movement in the 1960s and 1970s.
One of Griffin’s most notable contributions was his role in shaping the visual identity of the psychedelic rock scene in San Francisco. He collaborated with many renowned bands such as the Grateful Dead and Jimi Hendrix while creating iconic posters and album covers that became synonymous with the era.
Throughout his career, Griffin continuously pushed the boundaries of his artistry, merging elements of mysticism, spirituality, and pop culture. His style evolved over time, incorporating Art Nouveau, Surrealism, and Art Deco, among others, while maintaining his distinct aesthetic.
Tragically, Griffin’s life was cut short in 1991 when he passed away in a motorcycle accident in Petaluma at the age of 47. However, his artistic legacy continues to inspire and captivate audiences today. His unique blend of spirituality, symbolism, typography and graphic design continues to influence contemporary artists, and his work remains highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts alike.
We’re honored to display a number of never-before-seen works at the opening of “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” on 12/6 and honor these artifacts from the mind of a true visionary who shaped how the world saw psychedelic music and art.
Ever wonder how these colossal tie-dyes come to life?
Watch @dyein.man_tiedyes and @dyes_n_goodvibes collaborate on a geometric rainbow masterpiece called “Dyechotomy” over a 24-hour stretch before the opening of Dead to the Core last month.

To kick off our journey to the “60 Years of the Grateful Dead” opening on December 5th + 6th, we have Anthem of the Sun by Bill Walker.
This seminal work channeled the Dead’s 1968 album of the same name into a masterpiece of psychedelic symmetry born from a flash of Owsley L + Aya induced ambidexterity. Brian Chambers tells the story.
Bill Walker will be in attendance at the opening to celebrate this mind-bending piece. Mark your calendars as it’s not to be missed!
