This uncut printers proof is one the later creations from the pen of master poster artist Rick Griffin. This killer image was unofficially produced by the artist for a run of shows at the Berkeley Community Theatre in 1984. The legend is that Griffin did not get the licensing for this image and was selling them himself on the parking lot. Allegedly Grateful Dead Productions confiscated most copies of this poster as they were not officially sanctioned.    

Signed and Numbered by the artist the late Rick Griffin.
