Matchbox Twenty Ten
The ever popular Trident Matches....this way you don't have to turn your monitor upside down...unless of course you want to.
And, who was the Artist? These matches served many creative purposes, including ...oh well, ..nuff said.

I was hoping that someone would provide the artist's name. I'm going to take a stab at it and guess Alton Kelley? (of "Mouse & Kelley").

Hey Teren, don't believe it was Alton and Stanley. Alton passed away a year ago. A very kewl tribute site to Alton Kelley is at www.ArtistaGang.com (the links here don't connect/you'll have to type the web site in the URL yourself)And, if you go to the 1984 article, at the bottom, is a link to a new Artista web site being built by the Dead's web site guy Keith Impink. This weekend, with the Steve Miller Band, are doing a fund raiser for Artista Norton Buffalo who just passed away. It's at the Fox Theatre in Oakland. Steve Miller, Huey Lewis, Bonnie Raitt, and many more are helping out. On the Artista Gang web site is more info. Alton Kelley created the Artista group here in Marin, and it's exploded across the country and beyond. Basically just a bunch of old farts having a good time...

Go back to The Artista Gang and talk to Larry Noggle. His name is on the T-shirt artwork and he may have produced the shirts. He also did modifications to the menu artwork. Did he put together the famous menu artwork?
How many psycho-active plants can you find on the menu? I see eight or nine on mine. The menu art also includes a modified art nouveau poster from 1901 for coca wine.
