Phish Philly Mann, PA 2025

My commemorative ticket stubs for Phish’s 2-night run (and hometown show) at the TD Pavilion at the Mann in Philly, PA. The artwork used was an ink and watercolor illustration I created. I was inspired by the snacks that are uniquely Philly. Night one features a Philly-style pretzel, which comes in a figure 8, along with a water ice served in the iconic 90s cup, as found at John’s Water Ice. Night two was inspired by Arctic Splash iced tea, which is sadly no longer served in cartons, and a Tastykake Butterscotch Krimpets.

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.

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.

Phish Mann Center Philly 2023

My ticket stubs for Phish’s 2-night run at the Mann Center in Philadelphia, PA (hometown show!) 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)

For these shows, I decided to create a series of watercolor paintings of the Philly skyline, and some inspiration from the Phish song “Simple”. These paintings were then scanned and digitally arranged to create the final product.

For the print, I painted additional items and opted for an 8.5×14-sized print. While unconventional, I found that the size worked best for the long horizontal format of the image.

Phish Mann Philly 2022 Tickets and Prints

Hometown show! These tickets were inspired by the song “Slave to the Traffic Light”, which is fitting since the Mann is near the Philadelphia zoo and the amazing view of the city skyline from the venue. And of course, there’s that Philly traffic, which anyone attending the shows got to experience on the way to the venue. This design is actually a throwback to my very first Mann print which was spray paint and stencils on braille paper. I don’t think any sold on lot, only sold 1 in my shop and ended up wheat pasting most of the ones I had left around Philly. When the opportunity for some Mann phan art arose, I knew I had to revisit this design. 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!

Phish Philly Spectrum 12/10-12/11/99

I was recently commissioned to create the setlist for the shows at the Spectrum in Philly back in 1999.  Working with some suggestions from the person requesting the shows, I included some Philly sports icons, Julius Erving and Ron Hextall.  This was a fun project, and it allowed me to draw up some new songs.  I’m always open to do commissioned setlists, although with summer tour approaching it could take a bit.  Feel free to contact me via twitter, facebook, or instagram.

I made a very small edition of these (only 5), and have 4 of each available for sale via my shop.
