I would make these Mandalas and backgrounds for the stage in a Zen, meditative state, focusing on Universal Source and calling on my higher presence to bring in the beauty of the light, colour and mystical to create something magical. It was a wonderful setting out in the sunshine, creating a kind of Alchemical magic with fabric and dyes. I would tie at night and dye outside in the daytime. I remember our old friend Peter Monk was there, and Alan would be around quite often. Many friends from the Grateful Dead would come by. This was at my dear friend's house Downtown Deb and Alan Trist's house in San Anselmo, Marin county, California. The backdrop panels were dyed at the dye set featured in this photo. I would work non stop for days at a time when I had a project or commission to fulfill. I had a tie dye set up going outdoors during good weather. I got $300 a piece for each panel, which was a good payday for those days. After the concert I sold each panel separately to people who had come to me during the concert wanting a piece of history, they paid for them on the spot.
There were 16 panels individually dyed and sewn together to create the backdrop. I did this tie dye backdrop in about 200 hours work, sometimes going non-stop with just cat naps to get it completed in time for the shows. Later I was commissioned by Bill Graham Productions to create entire backgrounds for the stage such as this one at the Greek Theatre Berkeley in 1981. family and scene in those early days of the 70's. I did speaker fronts for the Grateful Dead stage and Mandalas and Tie dye shirts for just about everyone in the G.D.
We were truly the new Counterculture of our time and that movement still exists today. We were an enigma for sure to the straight society we grew up in, and were loving every minute of our differences.
I was commissioned to dye speaker fronts for the Bands stage speakers and my work was soon a hit with the Grateful Dead fans as well. Our creativity was at a peak with the flux and flow of this cosmic consciousness riding in on the waves of the music, and colour. My psychedelic tie dye art reflected that magic we all were experiencing. We were untouched by social stigmas, we felt free! Music, marijuana, LSD, harmony with nature were our influences and love was in the air! All us hippies had an aliveness and awareness beyond our times. It was about seeking out one's own spiritual path and living in an awareness of a better way. There was a renaissance of consciousness about living a lifestyle that was in tune with Mother Earth. I was fortunate to come onto the scene in those magical times, and can now share a part in Rock History. In the early days the Grateful Dead experience was all about the magic and the consciousness of a new era. Grateful Dead, Tie Dye, Magic & Consciousness
