Description: If you know anything about the history of the Grateful Dead, then you know how instrumental Ron 'PigPen' McKernan was. Think of it, if not for Pig, the Grateful Dead may not have happened and the 60's would have been completely different - musically that's for sure!PigPen, despite his rough exterior, was known for being an extremely sensitive guy. The leader of the band and first, but over time, the band moved on and he could not keep up. Drinking was his solace while the rest of the band was trippin' balls!!!PigPen and Janis had a well known, torrid relationship, hooking up early in her career.This poster is an Artists Proof for a series that was never produced. Obviously, the image derives from the famous Herb Greene photograph, as noted by Stanley. I've seen some postcards out there that look to be taken from this image. I've also seen another, similar treatment of the photograph by Stanley but this one is cleaner and more direct in its interpretation.Back in the 90's I had a friend that was friends w/ Stanley. She took me to meet him and I bought this piece, along with two others, directly from him. I even have the signed and cancelled check w/ Stanley's autograph. A photo-copy of the check will be included with the poster.Perfect for your man-cave, overlooking the pool table. I've got a bunch of other stuff and it's time for this one, which has been in storage for 30+ years, to go to a new home where it will be displayed.Ron PigPen McKernan - once and forever a part of the Grateful Dead.
