Limited Edition Artist Signature Series:
Rick Griffin
Kingpin Designs is honored to present the exclusive first series of pins featuring fully licensed artwork from the legendary artist, Rick Griffin!!
Rick Griffin was one of the originators of the San Francisco psychedelic art scene to blossom out of the late 1960s and early 1970s. His art is featured on some of the most iconic posters and album covers of the time, including the Grateful Dead albums "Wake of the Flood", "Aoxomoxoa", and "Reckoning" among many other classics. These pins were especially challenging to produce, as Ricks art was all created long before the digital artwork medias of today existed, so all of these designs started out as photos or scans of Rick's art, which then had to be meticulously digitalized to match his art as closely as possible. The result is incredible. These are some of the most highly detailed and highest quality pins that Kingpin Designs has produced. They are truly something special, limited to only 200 of each pin, available exclusively though Kingpin Designs. All pins are hard enamel with 2 backs, feature Rick Griffin's signature and the Kingpin Designs logo on the back, and are individually numbered. Series 1 is limited to 200 pins of each design, and Series 2 is limited to 100 pins of each design. All images and artwork are used with permission and full licensing from Rick Griffin's family, and all Grateful Dead images are fully licensed through Grateful Dead Productions.
All pins are accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
