California Dreams is the first comprehensive collection of work by Stanley Mouse, a pioneering figure in late-1960s psychedelic poster art. Spanning more than five decades and featuring 240 pieces, the book showcases his iconic posters, album covers, and T-shirt designs—many created with Alton Kelley—that defined the visual spirit of San Francisco’s counterculture era.
Beyond his famous music-related imagery, the volume also highlights Mouse’s early career in Detroit customizing hot rods and creating fantastical monster-themed art, as well as his later ventures into fine art, including landscapes and figurative works. With many previously unpublished pieces and early versions of well-known designs, the book offers a rich, career-spanning portrait of his artistic evolution.
