Original 13" square 1985/86 Rick Griffin HAND-DRAWN ORIGINAL pencil on vellum paper preliminary sketch for the Grateful Dead's "So Far" live performance VHS release (1987), professionally matted to 17" square total size. Unsigned preliminary/mechanical drawing originally came directly from the Griffin estate in the early 1990's, and was one of numerous preliminary/test pieces that originated from this period. The paper itself has some minor handling, several semi-flattened hard vertical/diagonal bends, a few tiny smudges and a few little handling dings here and there, but most of the cosmetic issues are for the most part negligible. VERY cool/unique piece of ORIGINAL Griffin lettering for the Dead.
