Phish Nashville Fall 2023

My commemorative ticket stubs for the opener of Phish’s Fall Tour. The original art was watercolor on paper, which was then scanned and digitally arranged. 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.

The art was inspired by the neon lights on Broadway in Nashville.  I decided to change things up, creating vertical tickets inspired by Summer 2018 PTBMs. This allowed me to create art I couldn’t do in the previous landscape format I had been using. I painted three 5×9 watercolors inspired by the neon signs of the Second Fiddle (First Tube), the Stage (Wedge), and Betty Boots (Reba). These paintings were fun and challenging, especially trying to recreate the glow of the lights, and how they reflect on nearby surfaces. I even used them as teaching tools in my classroom, working on them with the same watercolor sets my students were using!

I also created a print version using the artwork I created for the ticket stubs. It measures 11×17 and is printed on 100 lb cover paper, limited to an edition of 50.
