Jerry was THE MAN!
For those who only know and love J. Garcia as a musical artist this book is for you. His artistry NEVER ceases to AMAZE me. "So THIS is what Jerry was up to when he didn't have a guitar in his hands!" This book is the answer to those who have the question.

Good condition for an inspiring book of art
This is a nice book to own if you want to understand another side of Jerry Garcia, his artistic skills through blissful colors and scenes. Bought this used book for real low price and find his art pretty damn good, a definetive style he creates.

My dad liked it
My dad is a bigtime deadhead, so I am always searching for unique dead-related gifts for him. Well, he loved this book of Jerry's art, and said he'd had no idea how prolific he was. Sure to please the true Jerry lover in your life.

Not just for "Dead Heads"
The diversity and accumulation of art pieces in this book is extensive and includes a variety of media representations, including early and late drawings, water colors and gouche, accrylics, and digital works that are for more than just for "dead heads." I personally was never a "dead head." Myself I was more inclined to some of other musical projects like the fine countryesque CD entitled Grisman & Garcia which was a fine collaboration or the jazzy So What which was Miles Davis inspired. Back to the book, the body of work includes exhibitions as well other contributions to popular culture like Ben & Jerry's: The Inside Scoop: How Two Real Guys Built a Business with a Social Conscience and a Sense of Humor where the authors detail the influence of Jerry Garcia on their now famous ice cream and, of course, Garcia ties that are ever so popular in the bay area. Some of the works recall the art of GoyaGoya: The Complete Etchings and Lithographs (Art & Design) and Picasso, especially his etchings and drawings. His early drawings reveals an underlying talent influenced by Mad Classics with a yet to be developed style but budding for expression and growth like a plant coming through the earth reaching for the sun. The art works goes from sublime to macabre, spacey and surreal to life like earthy pieces. Some of the contemporary works he produced digitally are modern "Shamanic Vibrations" as the essay indicates that leads into this particular ending chapter. The essays are well written homages to a man of many talents who emerged from the California scene of the 60's to leave a tremendous legacy. I really enjoyed the essays that were contributed to this book by a variety of boheminan artists and such like people that encountered Jerry Garcia while he walked this earth. This is an interesting table top book that is colorful and a great addition to any library or home collection of art books.
