Phish Merriweather- Columbia, MD 2026

My commemorative ticket stubs for Phish’s 2-night run at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, MD. The art features street signs that are found in the city of Columbia. Night 1 features Divided Sky Lane, which is located right next to the venue. The name of this street is purposely a Phish reference, seeing how Night 1 will be their 25th time performing at the venue! The name also coincides with the creative street names found in Columbia, many based on art and literature. I wondered if any other streets may coincidentally be a Phish reference. After (too many) hours of searching street name databases, I came across a cul-de-sac named Possum Court, featured in the Night 2 art. A mere 10 minutes away from the venue, although I wouldn’t suggest driving there to take a picture!

Each stub measures 2.75 x 6.5 inches (the same size as PTBM tickets) and is printed on coated 130 lb card stock by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia. The back features a spot to write down your actual seat/section. I will also include a mini art print/postcard with each order, along with other freebies while supplies last.

Phish Merriweather 2022 Tickets and Prints

My design for the Merriweather shows. Merriweather holds a special place in my heart, I’ve actually seen the most shows there. It’s the place where I run into the most people I know, either from Philly, the Harrisburg area where I grew up, and even old friends from college! The art was inspired by these interactions with friends, some of who I haven’t seen in years, and some who are no longer with us. I chose to use robots, since they have been a theme in lots of my work in the past, including stickers I used to give out/put up at shows I attended. This was one of my toughest pieces since I had so much detail with the audience! The original painting was ink, watercolor, and gouache paint. Prints are 11×14, signed and numbered, and limited to an edition of 100. Tickets are based on PTBMs, and the barcode links to the setlist on Phish.net!

Summer Tour 2019: Merriweather

“Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff”
-Henrietta

The sixth print in my Summer 2019 Series. For the Merriweather shows, I was inspired by another of Dürer’s prints that he created for Book of Fools, this one titled ” Impatience When Punished” (1494). The Lizard Fool makes another appearance (the first was in my Bonnaroo print), and I choose to replace the bagpipe with a vacuum, and included a guitar, a drill, and a Moog synthesizer in the foreground.

Prints are 9×12 on 11×14 paper, and printed with Supergraphic black ink by Bill Fick. Both editions are printed on 140 lb watercolor paper. Black and white are an edition of 30, and 2 watercolor variants of 9 each. Due to the nature of the process each print may slightly differ in background color. I will have the prints with me on lot this weekend at the shows, and remaining prints will be available in my shop on Monday.
