About this poster
Before his life as a psychedelic poster artist, Stanley Mouse painted Monster Cars in Detroit. This piece was designed as a clever parody of his classic interpretation of the Edmund Sullivan Skull and Roses design he and Alton Kelley had made famous in the Avalon Ballroom Grateful Dead poster. Mouse titled this parody "I Need A New Liver". The original sketch had the tongue hanging out with no tab or cube on it.
The original painting was done in 1992 before Stanley received his new liver. Mouse titled this parody "I Need A New Liver". The original sketch had the tongue hanging out with no tab or cube on it.
Years after his successful liver operation, Shakedown Gallery approached Mouse to ask if they could put a tab on the tongue and make a blotter art design from his piece. Mouse giggled and said sure. At the 11th hour, this piece was renamed from "I Need A New Liver" to "I Need A New Brain". Nowadays Mouse sells a poster with a variation of this design as "Sugar Cube".
The flat tab on the tongue came first. Mouse realized he could paint sugar cubes quicker and convey the general idea faster, so he substituted the flat paper on the tongue for the cube in subsequent renderings.
