Go to Heaven Album Cover

ILLUSTRATION, HAND LETTERING | INSTRUCTION: KEITH WARREN GREIMAN | PROCREATE

This illustration is a redesign of the album ‘Go To Heaven’ (1980) by the Grateful Dead. The original cover, pictured below, was photographic, not illustrated. The image they chose actually led many people to think they released a disco album. I listened to the album as I drew, leading me to create a cover that I think fits the sound of ‘Go To Heaven’ a little better!

the left image is the sketch for my illustration, the right image is the original Grateful Dead "Go to Heaven" album cover from 198o
