December 2023 – Not just reading the book,

PhanArt Sneak Peak

PhanArt YEMSG takes place this Saturday at Hill Country Barbeque! I will be there with over 20 other artists selling music-inspired art, clothing, collectibles, and more. The show is free and takes place from 1pm-6pm and takes place only blocks from MSG.

I wanted to share what I will have available at PhanArt since I will only have certain items available. I will also have a set of mini-prints that will only be available at the show!

These prints are 6×9, signed and numbered, limited to an edition of 15 each.

I’ll have a bunch of stickers, including some new designs. I’ll also have discounts on multiples!

I’ll have stubs for the MSG run and fall, summer, and spring tour tickets. I’ll also have 2022 ticket stubs with me!

Want to see what I have available? Ask to read the (look) book! I’ve created a book that allows you to see all of the stubs I’ve created and will have available. Check out a digital version here: https://imgur.com/a/dG0qLig

Purchase your stubs with minimal interaction!

If you plan to order a large amount of stubs, I’ve got you covered! Ask for a checklist so you can mark the shows you want and just hand it to us to order! You can also download your own checklist and fill it out beforehand. We also offer discounts when ordering large quantities.

I’ll also have some postcards for a dollar, or free when you spend $20 or more!

Commissioned Setlists- 2023 in Review

2023 was a very busy year for me, my time being taken up by the Phish ticket stubs I have been creating for every show this year. I did manage to find some time to work on some illustrated setlists via commissions I took on. I have a long history with these setlists, which I started making in 2014 and created for nearly every show until 2022. At this point, including commissions, I’ve made over 340 illustrated setlists! I’ve always enjoyed making them, many actually being created while live-streaming the shows. This year I finally made the decision of retiring the illustrated setlists, but still keeping commissions open.

All setlists are available as a digital print you can download here: https://joseeen.etsy.com/listing/260299234 I also have a very small amount of physical copies of the setlists you can order here: https://joseeen.etsy.com/listing/208027928

I currently have commissions open until I start working on Sphere stubs in early 2024. If you are interested in seeing what I have created already, I made a spreadsheet that allows you to view by year!

Phish MSG New Years Run 2023

My ticket stubs for Phish’s 4-night New Year’s run at Madison Square Garden in NYC. Each stub measures 2.75×6.5 inches (The same size as PTBM tickets) and is printed on 14 Pt paper (slightly thicker than actual stubs), printed by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia.

For this run, I found inspiration in the public monuments in New York City to which I made some artistic changes. Night 1 is based on the Peace Monument found on the lawn of the UN building. Night 2 is based on Isamu Noguchi’s Red Cube in the Financial District. For nights 3 and 4 I was inspired by the Atlas and Prometheus statues, found outside Rockefeller Center.

The artwork for each stub was watercolor paintings on 6×9 paper. They were then scanned. The ticket stub design was based on the 2018 PTBM (Phish tickets by mail) ticket stubs, which feature a vertical format.

I currently have a limited number of ticket stubs available in my shop: joseeen.etsy.com. I will also be at the PhanArt show at Hill Country BBQ on December 30th with my tickets as well as fall and summer tour ticket stubs.

Phish Dayton Fall 2023

My ticket stubs for Phish’s 2-night run in Dayton, OH. The original art was micron pen and watercolor on paper, which was then scanned and digitally arranged. Inspired by PTBM (Phish tickets by mail) ticket stubs. The barcode actually scans and links to each night’s setlist on Phish.net!
Each stub measures 2.75×6.5 inches (The same size as PTBM tickets) and is printed on 14 Pt paper (slightly thicker than actual stubs), printed by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia.

The artwork was inspired by the Aullwood Trolls created by recycle artist Thomas Dambo. These sculptures reside minutes away from the venue at the Aullwood Audubon. I also included a reference to Dayton residents the Wright brothers and the bell tower at Carillion Park.

Phish Nashville Fall 2023

My commemorative ticket stubs for the opener of Phish’s Fall Tour. The original art was watercolor on paper, which was then scanned and digitally arranged. Inspired by PTBM (Phish tickets by mail) ticket stubs. The barcode actually scans and links to each night’s setlist on Phish.net!
Each stub measures 2.75×6.5 inches (The same size as PTBM tickets) and is printed on 14 Pt paper (slightly thicker than actual stubs), printed by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia.

The art was inspired by the neon lights on Broadway in Nashville. I decided to change things up, creating vertical tickets inspired by Summer 2018 PTBMs. This allowed me to create art I couldn’t do in the previous landscape format I had been using. I painted three 5×9 watercolors inspired by the neon signs of the Second Fiddle (First Tube), the Stage (Wedge), and Betty Boots (Reba). These paintings were fun and challenging, especially trying to recreate the glow of the lights, and how they reflect on nearby surfaces. I even used them as teaching tools in my classroom, working on them with the same watercolor sets my students were using!

I also created a print version using the artwork I created for the ticket stubs. It measures 11×17 and is printed on 100 lb cover paper, limited to an edition of 50.
