He made his mark creating wild psychedelic posters for San Francisco bands like the Grateful Dead. Today Stanley Mouse(seen here in a self-portrait) is still busily painting from an outpost in west Sonoma County, keeping his iconic images from the 1960s anchored in the present.

For many of the San Francisco concert posters, Mouse recalls, the visual starting point was an existing image. He and Kelly found a rich resource of those images in the city's municipal library.

The library stacks were also where Stanley found the image that he adapted to become the identifying icon for the Grateful Dead.

Another iconic image came from a popular product, and Mouse says they incorporated it into the poster with considerable trepidation.

These days, the art of Stanley Mouse, old and new is on display at his Rockin' Roses galley in downtown Healdsburg, a block off the plaza at 243B Healdsburg Avenue.
