Phish 7/1-7/3/16 SPAC

It always feels good to be back at SPAC!  I was able to attend these shows with a large group of close friends, which made the run very enjoyable, aside for the rainstorm right before the first show (I got soaked of course, and it felt great).  We stayed at a house/recording studio 30 minutes from the venue, a nice change from the hotel scene. The lot scene was great, SPAC is known for its shakedown, and it doesn’t fail to deliver.  I brought my SPAC posters to sell and got a very positive reaction (and quite a few sales!)   I still have some left, but they are going fast!

Phish Summer Tour Posters pt II

Here’s the next installment of my Phish summer tour posters for 2016.  I’m more than half way to my goal of illustrating all 15 venues they’ll be playing at (including Lockn’).  The fishing theme continues with each venue’s state fish. I’ve enjoyed getting back to working with micron pens, as well as working digitally (and learning new things along the way) to create these posters.  I’ve taken people’s thoughts and opinions into consideration for these last couple, as well as some edits to the previous ones (“I still call it Deer Creek”) .  I’m looking forward to drawing some west coast fish, and will be posting them soon.

 

In the meantime I’ve just opened up my new shop, www.phishart.com, where all the posters from this series will be available, although I will continue to have my setlist posters available in my etsy shop.

Phish 2016 Summer Tour Posters

For this summer’s tour I decided to take on the ambitious project of creating a show poster for every venue this year.  On top of doing an illustrated setlist for every show.  So yeah…ambitious may be an understatement.  As challenging as this may be, I’ve had a lot of fun drawing these. I wanted a common theme for all the posters, and risking the overused fish theme, opted to illustrate the state fish for each venue. The drawings are micron pen and watercolors, along with some digital imaging.  Here are the first 5 I’ve done so far.  I hope to complete the rest before tour starts, and release them for sale in my shop (also on lot at SPAC) around the time of each show.

Tom Hamilton’s American Babies 7/3/16

I recently had the opportunity to create the poster for an upcoming American Babies show.  Being a long time fan of Tom Hamilton (I first heard him play with Brother’s Past) I was excited to be able to be a part of this amazing show. Playing at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO, the show serves an unofficial afterparty for the Dead & Co show, as well as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead/Umphrey’s Mcgee, who are playing at Red Rocks that night.

Phish Studio Era Compilation pt II

I recently finished up the covers for a studio era compilation series created by Reddit user RiverportGin.  The series covers all of 1.0 Phish (1983-2000) and gave me an opportunity to draw songs that are unlikely to be played anytime soon . I also had fun with the headers, Which were based off a lyric of a song found in each particular album.  Click on the titles for a download link.

These were a blast to do. It was a way to work on different methods of illustration (digital/traditional) as well as practice for the upcoming summer tour.  I had the chance to go back and relisten to a couple gems (the White Tape was a blast!) and draw those seldom heard songs.  While RiverportGin doesn’t have plans to make complilations for the 2.0 and 3.0 albums in the near future, I plan to continue illustrating the rest of the albums, possibly create a poster with them.

The Phish Skull Studies

20151211_153617

A shower thought (and drawing lots of Dead art) led me to doing some skull studies recently.  My original thought was some kind of Mike Gordon Steal Your Face/F ck Your Face mashup, and led to this series of Skulls inspired by the members of the band.  I started these over Thanksgiving weekend (Trey was drawn while waiting for Thanksgiving dinner to be ready) and got a positive response online.  I had originally done these to as practice drawing skulls/ using crosshatching techniques, but upon the insistence of the interwebs, finished up the set and made prints for sale.

Prints are for sale in my shop, and I have them available in several sizes.  I have prints of all four images in 11×17 and 8.5×11 sizes, as well individual prints of Cactus, Big Red, Henrietta, and the Chairman of the Boards, or a suite of all four prints.

New art added to my shop!

I just added over 30 new prints and original watercolors to my shop this weekend!  I found a bunch of prints that were made originally the the Phanart Show that took place at World Live Cafe during the Phish run at the Mann Center.  I forgot about them until recently when I found a portfolio with the unsold prints. The prints were made from the original watercolors I used for the song illustrations I use in my setlists.

Capture2

I have some of the original watercolors from which the prints were made from.  These are ink and watercolor on 6×8 140lb cold press paper.

Capture3

I also have some of the original watercolor paintings that I used for some of the show headers.  While I generally do a mixture of tradition and digital for my headers, these are done traditionally (ink and waterolor) on 8.5×11 paper.

They are all reasonably priced ($25 and under) and be sure to follow me on twitter, and instagram for special sales and whatnot!
