Short BIO of DB Artworks, -- My brother Vince was much more to Jerry than just his Art Publisher. They were also very close friends. Phil Lesh acknowledged his gratitude for how well my brother and his family cared for Jerry in his book " Searching for the Sound".. Vince and his family occasionally lived with Jerry over the years .Everything I'm selling was actually produced and edited , prior to printing, by Jerry himself, "DURING HIS LIFETIME" I believe a lifetime print is more superior because he scrutinized the proofs so carefully before he gave his final approval for them to be printed. We experimented with different archival papers in different print runs, producing some very high-end pieces in Japan, using Toppan. >> I hope this sheds some light on where these prints were made and by whom and why they are truly authentic, having come directly from my personal collection. They have my provenance as the ART PUBLISHER .. some old pictures of me with Jerry , number one after dinner in Marin, 2-hanging out and discussing our Japanese art tour. 3 on the deck of his Tiburon condo. >>> I am getting older and its time to let go of some of my treasures and share this great art. My price are kept low because I want many of you to be able to afford to own something that Jerry loved and created himself during his lifetime. >>Thank You >> David Dibiase >> Former Vice President >> DB Artworks (quote from the publisher) " This incredibly rare business card is a true collectible for any serious Garcia fan. My brother and I were Jerry's art publishers / DB Artworks and we often worked out of his home in San Rafael. we always carried a few of his personal business cards with us, both from round records and from the grateful Dead to prove to all the art galleries and skeptical art buyers that we were indeed Jerry's art partners. Sometimes our DB artworks cards were not enough to convince the occasional skepticals. Once they saw one of these cards it was all good and they bought the artworks from us."Card is in mint condition, no creases ,no discoloring no smells , just like off the press,.Shipped with USPS First Class.
