After her retirement from music in 1988, singer and ’60s icon Grace Slick took up visual art. Although she had been interested in drawing and painting since she was a child, she admits to not being able to concentrate on several things at once, and leaving music finally freed her to pursue art. She has done portraits of fellow musicians and friends such as Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Janis Joplin, Pete Townshend, her Jefferson Airplane bandmates, and Sting, of course, but the other originals and prints that sell well are her charming Alice in Wonderland-themed works. Many of them feature, as one would expect, the White Rabbit. He is prominent in her 420 Collection pro-marijuana legalization pieces.
