Abel proudly collaborated with Grateful Dead over the last decade to create three different versions of their legendary artwork. The Steal Your Face, Dancing Bears, and 50th Anniversary logos that we recreated totaled 1000 serialized reels, and they each sold out quickly as they were introduced. They admittedly were not inexpensive, but they were incredibly labor intensive for the Abel team to produce with upwards of over 14 hours each to create. To us, they deserved the effort to achieve near perfect examples of their iconic logos.

The three previous Abel + Grateful Dead editions reels were limited by reel size, and solid frame models only, but now they created a program for our customers to open up their creative juices a bit while still honoring their favorite band.
