Stanley Mouse (born Stanley George Miller - American, b. 1940). "Cosmic Car Show" limited edition lithograph, 1967, hand signed and numbered 174/350 below. A limited edition Stanley Mouse lithograph entitled "Cosmic Car Show," named for an event at Muir Beach in Marin County, California, just across the Golden Gate Bridge, in which artists painted cars in a signature psychedelic style and the resulting automotive art was judged by artists including Stanley Mouse. Mouse is also beloved for his rock concert poster designs for bands such as the Grateful Dead, and his cover art for Steve Miller's album "Book of Dreams" even won a Grammy Award in 1977. Size: image - 26" W x 34.5" H (66 cm x 87.6 cm); 30" W x 39" H (76.2 cm x 99.1 cm) with border
Stanley Mouse's initial splash in the art world occurred when he was expelled from high school for creating graffiti. He later attended the Society for Arts and Crafts, and soon became seduced by airbrushing and hot rod culture - painting T-shirts, cars, and bikes. Later, Mouse became entrenched in the psychedelic art scene in San Francisco. Inspired by Art Nouveau designs, Mouse and his colleagues began producing psychedelic concert posters for concert promoter Bill Graham - for bands such as the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles, and Journey. Mouse and Alton Kelley for example created the Dead's world famous Skeleton and Roses theme, and Mouse's cover art for Steve Miller's album "Book of Dreams" won a Grammy Award in 1977.
