Phish Fall Tour 2019 Linocut

Posted on November 24, 2019 by josean

Fall Tour 2019 web

“..Scent of a mule, you better watch out where you go
Take your laser beams away”

My block print for Phish’s 2019 Fall Tour. The 13th in my yearlong series based off the work of Albrecht Dürer. This print was inspired by “Flight into Egypt” (1505) and the Phish song “Scent of a Mule”
Prints are 9×12 on 11×14 paper, hand carved and hand printed on 140 lb watercolor paper with Supergraphic black oil based ink by Bill Fick.. Limited to an edition of 50, with a color variant coming soon. Due to the nature of the process each print may slightly differ .

Prints are now available in my shop!

Phish Alpine Valley Run 2019

Posted on August 11, 2019 by josean

Setlist art is back! With my choice of doing linocuts for my summer tour posters, plus lots of traveling and 8 Phish shows, I wasn’t able to make my setlist art in the timely fashion I’m used to (Usually live while streaming the show). I thought people wouldn’t notice, but I was wrong! While I did some here and there, I wanted to draw up new versions, as well as having to illustrate the GOTF songs. Now that I’m done with my linocuts (well, still need to work on the one for Dick’s), I’ll be posting up the setlists from this Summer Tour, in reverse chronological order. Prints will be available in my shop, as well as digital downloads that you can print yourself! Enjoy!
