Bicycle Day 2018 (Rainbow Variant) Limited Edition Print by Caitlin Mattisson and Alan Forbes

Celebrating the 75th anniversary of Albert Hofmann's wide-eyed ride on this day in 1943 and his problem child which unlocked doors of perception and created a spark which greatly inspired Garcia and a generation. This limited edition screen print was created by Caitlin Mattisson and Alan Forbes. Screen prints are signed and numbered by the artists in an edition of 75 and measure 18"x18". 

Both of us are well versed in the Grateful Dead art history and culture, but for this piece we wanted to focus more intently on Jerry's experience, particularly with LSD. To prepare for this piece, we read an interview with Jerry, and tried to convey his observations in a way that shows how much he meant to others through his musicality. We mixed some M.C. Escher and Terry Gilliam reference into it, as nods to Jerry's complexity and humor. And the color is pulled straight from the late '60s summer of love.
