MANIFEST COLOR by Michael Smith

My story begins in the early 1980s, when I would take time off art school and follow the Grateful Dead on Tour, selling my signature T-shirts out of my '62 Volkswagen sunroof bug. People really liked what I was making, including some well known musicians of the day. After experimenting with dye techniques from around the world, I arrived at my own unique variation of the Japanese Shibori Technique. 

Michael lost everything he owned when Hurricane Helene hit and the French Broad River rose, washing away his home, workshop, car...his life's work. Dog & Pony Show is honored to offer you what remains of his collection.
