Forever Grateful - Grateful Dead x Haight Street Art Center

Edition of 75

Offset lithograph

13"x19" 

💀🛶Honored to showcase my Forever Grateful™️ print for the Grateful Dead exhibit at Haight Street Art Center in Golden Gate Park.

For this poster, as well as for many other chapters of my life, I found myself deeply inspired by American Beauty. The river is a recurring presence throughout several songs on the album — Sugar Magnolia, Ripple, and Brokedown Palace — and I wanted to build the artwork around that imagery.

With the recent passing of Bobby and Phil, I also wanted to explore some of the themes of mortality and passing.

I was especially inspired by the imagery in Brokedown Palace:

“Going home, going home


By the waterside I will rest my bones
Listen to the river sing sweet songs


To rock my soul

Going to plant a weeping willow


On the bank’s green edge it will grow, grow, grow


Singing a lullaby beside the water


Lovers come and go, the river will roll, roll, roll



Fare you well, fare you well
I love you more than words can tell...”

- LOVE YALL, HANNAH - THE GRASS SPOT
