You’re going to be seeing even more of his work over the coming year: Tim has been pegged to create the cover art for the next year’s releases in the Dave’s Picks series, starting with his whimsical illustration for Dave’s Picks Vol. You can find many of his Grateful Dead pieces right here on or at his own website (you’ll find Dead stuff among other rock ’n’ roll pieces in Gallery 3). Tim is also the artist behind the cool covers of CDs such as Live at the Cow Palace, New Year’s Eve 1976 the David Gans-produced Stolen Roses: Songs of the Grateful Dead (featuring other artists covering Dead tunes) the wonderful Mother McCree’s Uptown Jug Champions live disc of the pre-Warlocks band featuring Jerry, Bob and Pigpen and the Jim Lauderdale-Robert Hunter collaboration, Headed for the Hills. He is probably best-known in our insular little universe for his many bold, colorful and creative comic book-style interpretations of Grateful Dead songs that were printed in Kitchen Sink Press’ Grateful Dead Comix in the early ’90s, and thereafter in the beloved Grateful Dead Almanac (where they appear to this day). Chances are, if you’ve been a Dead Head since the 1990s, you likely encountered artist Timothy Truman’s work at some point.
