Deadhead Couple June 1991


As I have said before somewhere, whenever I am sketching in public there is always someone (or someones) who ask me to draw their portrait. I don't mind, as long as there is enough light and space to draw in. These lovely young people were Ron and Kendra from Central Pennsylvania. They had driven all the way to DC for the show, as had other Deadheads. But I don't think these were "lifer" devotees, they were just having fun in mid-June. I would be surprised if they still were together in any way; but there have been instances of Deadheads marrying and having little fuzzy Grateful Babies. I sent them a copy of this sketch which they kept as a souvenir.
