Stanley designed with Art Nouveau elegance and American pop-art sensibilities. He produced posters for the Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom. The art promoting the San Francisco scene became instant collectibles and went far beyond the local scene to reach museums worldwide. Art and music came together in images associated with the The Family Dog, Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Steve Miller. Then on to Jimi Hendrix, Journey, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Blind Faith. In all, Mouse and Kelley did the first eight album covers for the Grateful Dead, including the delightful Ice Cream Kid/Rainbow Foot cover of their Europe 72 live album. The cover art for Steve Millers album Book of Dreams won a Grammy Award in 1977.
Paul Guest aka Monkey (1962 – 2021) was one of the founding fathers of contemporary blotter art. After founding blotterart.ltd in 2007 and buying blotterart.com from Jon Blackburn in 2010 he became one of the few and undoutibly the best blotter masters in the world. The quality and precision of his blotter art sheets are widely recognized among collectors. If there was any color discrepancy or a perforation not fitting right where it should, he would redo the job until it was done perfectly. His perfectionism is the reason why most major artists went to him when they wanted to put their artwork on blotters. Paul was a beautiful person with a beautiful mind, friendly, generous and a true altruist, always helping and counselling confirmed collectors as well as new comers in the wonderful world of blotter art collecting. For over a year, since his passing, his business was put to a halt,
