As a young man, Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia found his interests divided between visual and musical expression, and he attended the San Francisco Art Institute. Music came to claim his full attention but he never stopped sketching. Garcia once remarked about his art, “I hope that nobody takes them too seriously.”

“Footprints in the Sands of Time” was originally drawn with ink and watercolor. Longfellow wrote, “Lives of great men all remind us we can make our lives sublime, and departing behind us footprints on the sands of time. “Footprints in the Sands of Time” is an offset lithographic reproduction with the artist’s silkscreened signature. Image size is approximately 9” x 13”.
