Phish Dick’s Run 2024

https://joseeen.etsy.com/listing/1786124749

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

Commissioned Setlists- 2023 in Review

2023 was a very busy year for me, my time being taken up by the Phish ticket stubs I have been creating for every show this year. I did manage to find some time to work on some illustrated setlists via commissions I took on. I have a long history with these setlists, which I started making in 2014 and created for nearly every show until 2022. At this point, including commissions, I’ve made over 340 illustrated setlists! I’ve always enjoyed making them, many actually being created while live-streaming the shows. This year I finally made the decision of retiring the illustrated setlists, but still keeping commissions open.

All setlists are available as a digital print you can download here: https://joseeen.etsy.com/listing/260299234 I also have a very small amount of physical copies of the setlists you can order here: https://joseeen.etsy.com/listing/208027928

I currently have commissions open until I start working on Sphere stubs in early 2024. If you are interested in seeing what I have created already, I made a spreadsheet that allows you to view by year!

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!
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.

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.

Phish Summer 2018 Series- Dick’s

The 11th and final print in my summer tour series. Inspired by the Swedish poster for “The Invisible Boy” (1957) by Boheim/Werle. This was tricky to finish up, with the craziness of Camden, Merriweather, Curveball (RIP), and starting back up at school. Being a teacher gives me the summer to focus on prints, but this one was right in the middle of a busy time of year. I was stuck on a idea, and ended up bailing on a couple. My search for the right poster led me to foreign posters for American movies, and eventually I found some Swedish made posters. The work I found were amazing, inspired themselves from the American movie posters. This print was a different style than what I had done all summer, and required some different processes. The images were drawn and inked, then scanned. Certain parts of the images were drawn and colored digitally to match the original, and the background was watercolor and acrylic. The final image then digitally arranged. Prints are 13×19 on cardstock, signed and limited to an edition of 150. Prints are currently available for sale in my shop: www.joseeen.etsy.com
