Phish Dick’s Run 2024

My stubs for Phish’s 4-night run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO. These are the final stubs in my isometric art series that has spanned all of this year’s summer tour. I explored different types of lettering done on isometric paper and included the mountain and city space view from the venue. I created a series of ink and watercolor paintings, which were then digitally arranged to create the final image.

Each stub measures 2.75×6.5 inches (The same size as PTBM tickets) and is printed on 130lb gloss paper (slightly thicker than actual stubs), printed by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia. Joseeen.etsy.com

Phish Dick’s Sporting Goods Park 2023

My commemorative ticket stubs for Phish’s 4-day run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park in Commerce City, CO. The original art was watercolor on paper, which was then scanned to create the tickets. Inspired by PTBM (Phish tickets by mail) ticket stubs. The barcode actually scans and links to each night’s setlist on Phish.net!

By the time I started working on these, my summer had ended and I was back to teaching. My free time was very limited, and the surprise of the SPAC shows threw my timeline off. In my search for inspiration, I was looking at pictures of the view of Denver from Commerce City. At this point, I was getting frustrated and in a state of artistic delirium, just thought “What if I replace the mountains with the buildings? What if I replace the clouds with buildings?” This amused me enough that I sketched up the possible scenarios and then created the paintings. Working on these was beneficial in dealing with the stress involved with a new school year. I must admit that I prolonged how long they took to complete since it was one of the things I looked forward to most when getting home from school, besides seeing my wife and cat!

Phish Dick’s Run 2022 Tickets and Prints

My design for the 4-night run at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. The design was inspired by several Gamehendge songs, including Divided Sky*, Possum, Fly Famous Mockingbird, and Forbin’s Ascent. The original painting was watercolor and gouache paint. Tickets are based on PTBMs, and the barcode links to the setlist on Phish.net! Prints are 11×14, signed and numbered, and limited to an edition of 100.

*Although not part of The Man Who Stepped into Yesterday, Divided Sky is considered to be part of the Gamehendge mythos since it is to be sung on top of the rhombus to offer tribute to Icculus according to the liner notes in Junta.

For now, I will get a bit of a break until the NYE run, unless new dates get added! I will slowly be working on setlist art for the summer tour, and might only offer it as digital files, which would make them cheaper to purchase, and can be printed to whichever size you wish! Be sure to follow me on Twitter or Instagram to see works in progress, updates on new prints, and pictures of my cat.
