Best known for his posters and album covers, Mouse has done album art for the Beatles, Eric Clapton, Janis Joplin, and many others. His work on The Steve Miller Band's "Book of Dreams" album earned him a Grammy Award for Best Graphic Art.
His work for the Grateful Dead is probably his most memorable art. With Alton Kelley, he designed the Dead's "skull and roses" emblem as well as many of their most famous posters including the "Blue Rose" poster for the closing of Winterland.
