Commissioned Setlists – 2024 in Review

As I finish off my third year of creating commemorative Phish ticket stubs, I still enjoy creating illustrated setlists of shows. I usually keep commissions open for setlists of past shows throughout the year, with 9 commissioned setlists created this year. These commissions allow me to listen to shows for the first time, or revisit others. I also get to hear about someone’s first/ show, or in one case, how someone lost their glasses at a show, only for Fishman to be the one who found them!

These were made as a very small edition, but I have a few physical copies available. These are also available as a digital file.

Phish MSG New Years Run 2024

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.

I continued to paint clouds for this run as I did for the Albany run. This time around, it focused the worm’s eye view of the city. Ever since I was a kid, this has always been one of my favorite things to do when coming into the city. The movement of the clouds and the feeling that the buildings were about to topple gave off a feeling of uncertainty and excitement. Not unlike a Phish show!

The artwork for the stub was a series of watercolor paintings on 8.5 x 11 paper. I plan to make the original paintings available for sale soon.

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.
