Our exclusive line of "Everything is Dead" merchandise was created for the Fare Thee Well: Celebrating 50 Years of the Grateful Dead reunion concerts held at Solider Field in July of 2015. It features original artwork by Stanley Mouse who was the illustrator for multiple Grateful Dead album covers- the most famous of which is an untitled album that often goes by "Skull and Roses". The album was given this name because the cover art features a bright white skull with a floral crown of red roses. Our Dancing Dinosaurs design takes inspiration from that album art, the Grateful Dead's Dancing Bears, and the Field Museum's iconic SUE the T. rex to pay a wonderful tribute to the Grateful Dead.
