Stanley Mouse
Of all the great visual artists who have been associated with music in one way or another over the years, none have been more rock and roll than Stanley Mouse. He has produced some of the most lasting visual images in rock history.
He became a part of 1960s psychedelic art scene in San Francisco, creating what he called “weirdo art,” which today are some of the most collectible Stanley Mouse paintings. He often collaborated with the late Alton Kelly, and together they created iconic works, including Grateful Dead’s 1966 Avalon Ballroom concert poster skeleton and roses, as well as countless psychedelic concert posters spanning decades. Stanley designed the covers for Grateful Dead’s debut album as well as the compositions used for the covers of the band’s Workingman’s Dead, American Beauty, Europe ’72, From the Mars Hotel, and Terrapin Station albums, and Jerry Garcia’s Cats Under the Stars album cover.
