Plastered 8 is Back - With Their Last T-Shirt Ever!

We are nearly Dead, Gratefully. This looks like our swan song and it’s a good one. Grateful Dead approached us earlier in the year, at first I didn’t believe it and then I flew to LA, met some lovely people and it was true. The timing was impeccable as we were already winding up things in Beijing. I’m a huge fan of their artwork so being given access to that was like a dream come true.

We had been playing around with some old Chinese fire cracker packaging artwork from the 1930s, the old “Ming Guo Feng” aesthetic. This is the first Chinese-centric Grateful Dead artwork ever made so we had a responsibility to deliver something mind blowing. Plastered 8’s long standing artist Da Qian locked himself in a room for two days and came out with this artwork. We had total creative freedom from Grateful Dead and they made zero changes to the first draft…how cool is that?

Hell money is very iconic and is an obvious idea when it comes to a band with Dead in their name. You can chose to burn it and send it to Hell or keep it and go to Hell and someone else can burn it for you. Each Plastered 8 x Grateful Dead set comes with a T-shirt, bundle of this Grateful Dead Hell money and a limited edition screen print of the artwork.

You can buy from our WeChat store or www.plastered.com, there’s only 244 of these sets. As it’s our last t-shirt there’s a lot of demand so best be quick.
