“MUSIC’S VISUAL LEGACY” GEORGE MEAD AND PRAIRIE PRINCE
Historic SF Galvanizing Works Bldg. – 1170 Harrison Street, San Francisco
Show Runs March 28 thru April 3, 2025 BY APPOINTMENT.
To make an inquiry about Prairie Prince’s artwork or to schedule an appointment to view the art show, please email the artist.
Bay Area artist George Mead, who mythologized the entire A-list of rock stars in his massive hand-painted billboards outside Tower Records stores, is delving back into the mythology of contemporary music; and the album art that branded it.
His oversized hyper realist paintings of LP cover art from legendary performers like the Beatles and Rolling Stones, the Who, the Eagles, and many more bring a fresh perspective on the art form: as iconic, culture-altering milestones they bring inspiration and identity to millions of music aficionados to this day who often associate as much with the visual art as with the music itself. George will be showing over 40 LP cover paintings as well as numerous other paintings at discounted prices.

Rick and I have played together for 50 + years. He is a wonderful soul and an incredible bass player like non other. He also can translate words backwards without hesitation.
He’s now leading the great completion backwards principle in the sky.
Play on brother.
