American artists Stanley George Miller (b.1940), aka Mouse and Stanley Mouse, and Alton Kelley (1940-2008) are well-known for their 1960s psychedelic rock concert poster designs, and artwork for major rock groups, including the Grateful Dead. They first met in 1965 in San Francisco along with "Kelley's group of hippies who initially called themselves the Red Dog Saloon Gang. The Gang renamed themselves The Family Dog and began producing rock music dances. In 1966, when Chet Helms assumed leadership of the group and began promoting the dances at the Avalon Ballroom, Mouse and Kelley began working together to produce posters for the events." Ref: Wiki.
