About this poster
This is another poster for the Dead Ahead event, also scheduled for January 2025 in Riviera Cancun, but with a completely different artistic approach. The poster features a vibrant, psychedelic underwater scene dominated by a sea turtle with a whimsical red-orange Dancing Bear (a iconic Grateful Dead symbol) riding on its back.
The color palette is incredibly rich and vivid, using bright reds, oranges, purples, and turquoise blues. The background features swirling, rainbow-like patterns that create a sense of movement and energy. White seabirds can be seen flying in the sky portion of the design.
The underwater scene is filled with detailed marine life and coral formations. The foreground shows a colorful coral reef with various types of coral in reds, oranges, and purples, along with seaweed and other aquatic plants. Small fish can be seen swimming in the blue waters.
The poster's border features a distinctive Art Nouveau-inspired frame in orange, with the iconic Grateful Dead "Stealie" skull symbol subtly incorporated at the bottom. The title "DEAD AHEAD" curves across the top of the poster in a playful, psychedelic font style that fits perfectly with the overall aesthetic.
The artist credit at the bottom reads "ARTIST NATHANIEL DEAS / BE KIND TO EACH OTHER," reflecting the community-minded spirit often associated with this music scene.
This poster perfectly captures the blend of Grateful Dead imagery, tropical Mexican location, and psychedelic art style, creating an inviting and joyful advertisement for the event.
