As a young man, Grateful Dead founder Jerry Garcia found his interests divided between visual and musical expression, and he attended the San Francisco Art Institute. Music came to claim his full attention but he never stopped sketching. Garcia once remarked about his art, “I hope that nobody takes them too seriously.” “Dracula’s Heart” was originally drawn with ink and watercolor in 1991. The heart is an organ of fire…exposed to the world, it is what makes us vulnerable.
