Oh man, The Blot has been seriously drooling over this next release from our friends at Bottleneck Gallery ever since they announced it! BNG has teamed up with artist AJ Masthay to release an epic new line of officially licensed Grateful Dead Dancing Bears vinyl statues. The Dancing Bear is one of the most beloved band icons of all time, and AJ’s been lovingly drawing them for his Grateful Dead related gig posters for years. Bottleneck Gallery has worked hard to bring those beautiful bears to a brand new format – vinyl statues!
The Grateful Dead Dancing Bear Vinyl Figure Statue by AJ Masthay is available now in six awesome colors: Blue, Orange, Green, Red, Yellow and Purple. Each vinyl figure stands 6” tall and features four points of articulation (at the arms and legs). Even better still, these fantastic officially licensed GD figures are just $40! But there’s a catch, while they’re all timed editions (available now through Sunday, July 22nd at 11:59pm EDT), the only way to get the Purple Dancing Bear is to pre-order the full set of all six figures for just $200. That’s all six GD bears for the price of five!!! All sets also include a very special Buddha Bear 5”x7” screen print by Masthay. How can you turn that down!?! Head over to the Bottleneck Gallery online store now and place your order today!
In addition, 5% of all sales will go towards a fund for Matt and Harolyn Matteson’s children. Matt has been a stand-up and supportive member of the art community for years, and tragically, he and his wife lost their lives in an accident. Matt gave so much to the art community, and BNG want to ensure that we give back during a time of need for his family.
