Phish MSG New Years Run 2022

Old habits die hard! Creating ticket stubs has taken up most of my time this year, forcing me to set aside the setlist art this year. While I still create them via commissions, I couldn’t help but create the MSG NYE Run setlists! These will be a smaller edition (only 25!) but are also available as digital downloads.

ENCOREShow of Life > Tweezer Reprise

Trey teased Super Bad in Weekapaug. The second setbreak music was comprised of songs referencing past Phish New Year’s Eve gags. Before the third set began, a barbershop quartet appeared with a singing telegram for Phish. The telegram said that at the stroke of midnight, it would be 40 years for Phish and to make a wish. Trey wished he had a time machine so they could do it all again. A cube descended from overhead and a time machine was revealed near Mike. The quartet activated the time machine and the cube played audio and video from past years of Phish. Dancers from various past new year’s gags appeared on stage as well as a wombat (from October 31, 2013). The wombat broke the time machine and Ghost began with dancers and characters (like Father Time from December 31, 1999, and the Famous Mockingbird from December 31, 1992) continuing to appear from the band’s past performances. Ghost featured Meatstick lyrics sung by the band as well as by dancers in different languages in a nod to December 31, 2010. The first Bohemian Rhapsody since December 31, 1996 (850 shows) featured the Late Show Gospel Choir singing on risers behind the band and Ghost quotes from Page and the choir with subsequent lyrics changed to reference Ghost. The first Jungle Boogie since December 31, 2003 (544 shows) featured the BD Entertainment Marching Band along with the choir. The marching band and choir were also featured in Wilson where a platform above Trey that had appeared for the entire New Year’s run descended and the clone that had been lying on the platform rose and was revealed to be a Tom Hanks actor from Castaway. Inflated Wilson volleyballs were then tossed into the crowd. During Auld Lang Syne, Phish briefly stopped playing and ate cake in front of the stage while the marching band and choir continued to perform. Carini featured several dancers in “naked dude” costumes emerging from a birthday cake in front of the stage and dancing and running around with security trying to catch them. The Theme from New York, New York was performed for the first time since December 31, 1997 (772 shows) and featured the naked dude dancers performing a kickline in front of the stage while adding vocals and Trey changing the lyrics to “if I could be naked there.” Piper contained Crosseyed quotes. During Tweezer Reprise, the wombat ran and danced across the stage. The post-show music was Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, which was a nod to Phish playing their 72nd show at Madison Square Garden, tying Elton John.

Summer 2021 Phish Prints

2020 sucked. I wouldn’t say 2021 is a lot better, but at least we have live Phish concerts, which allows me to create new phan art prints! Most of my prints for this tour were started in early 2020, still unaware of what would occur that year. In previous years I have often done a series of posters with a common theme (check them out here:2016, 2018, 2019). It is a fun project, but involves a lot of research and preparation, and a lot of stress! I had decided back in 2019 that my next series of prints wouldn’t have a theme. This gave me the freedom to create them using different styles and mediums. I had been taking some graduate courses and was also able to apply some new and forgotten knowledge to my work!

My original plan for 2021 was to create only two posters for the shows I was attending, Hershey and Atlantic City. I’m not sure what happened, but I now have created artwork for most of the summer tour! They range in styles and sizes. Check out the gallery to see them, and scroll down to learn more about each print and where to purchase.

Summer Tour Print

This was a print that I had started working on last year, inspired by a stickerart collaboration I had drawn years ago. I liked the image due to the net imagery, which reminds me of the song “Mercury”. I’m also a big fan of space-related things, especially wormholes and black holes. The pink “worm” is actually inspired by a diagram of what a wormhole might look like!

Prints now available in my shop with free shipping!

11×17 on 100 lb paper, signed edition of 50

Southern Gentlelopes (AR, AL, GA)

For the first three shows of the tour, I created some postcards based on linocuts I had done not too long ago. These images were created to be used as examples of different carving styles when teaching printmaking to my students. I played with the idea of doing more in the series for the whole tour early on but decided against it. Some back issues recently returned that would have made carving and hand printing impossible. I later decided to use the images to create mini-prints on postcards, which I have often done for my prints. I’ve often heard the phrase “I love it, but I don’t know where I’ll put it” way too many times. A postcard can go up on the fridge, or framed alone or in a set! These postcards are available on their own or as a set of the first 5 shows


Nashville

Nashville’s mini print uses one of my favorite things to draw, robots! For their show at Ascend Amphitheater, some ascending robots seemed appropriate. The original drawing was ink and watercolor. This postcard is available on its own or as a set of the first 5 shows!

Deer Creek

My Deer Creek (I refuse to address it by any other name) print has quickly become one of my favorites for the tour. It was created by accident while playing around in Illustrator after learning how to actually use it! Prior to this, I had no idea how to use Illustrator and everything I knew about Photoshop was the result of trial and error. The sign and the deer were watercolor paintings, and the rest was digitally created. This was just going to be a postcard design, but I got enough feedback telling me it should also be a print. Printed on 11×17 100lb uncoated smooth paper, they are signed and numbered and limited to an edition of 50.

Prints available here. Postcards available on its own or as a set of the first 5 shows.

Hershey

Hershey holds a special place in my heart for many reasons. I grew up near there, I used to work at Hersheypark during the summers in college, and it was there where I first met my wife! For this print I drew inspiration from old framed advertisements that I’d see in employee areas at Hershey. Based on an ad for Hershey’s Syrup (turns out they used to be sold in cans!), the original was an ink and gouache painting which I then scanned and digitally arranged. Prints are 11×14, printed on 110lb smooth uncoated paper. They are signed and numbered, limited to an edition of 100. I will have them with me at Hershey, and can be found walking the lot selling them. Prints are also available in my shop


Atlantic City

My AC print is another that began in 2020, revisiting an old style that I haven done in a while. It’s inspired by the song Tube, and includes many images from the song in the asteroid debris, as well as random Phish related nonsense. This probably took my the longest to draw due to the stippling style of inking found in the asteroid. The original drawing was done with Micron pens and gouache paint. The print measures 13×19 and is printed on 120 lb smooth uncoated matte paper, printed by Fireball Printing in Philadelphia. Each print is signed and numbered and limited to an edition of 100. These are now available in my shop, as well as the Phanart show in AC.


More prints and postcards coming in the near future! Be sure to follow my FBInstagram, or Twitter for updates!

Summer Tour 2019: Merriweather

20190621_185752.jpg

“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.

Phish Riviera Maya 2019

I’m excited to present may latest linocut for Phish’s return to Riviera Maya in 2019.  Continuing my tradition of creating a block print for all their past shows in Mexico, I went bigger than ever before, carving a 12×18 block.  I was inspired by the work of Albert Dürer’s woodcut, The Four Horsemen (1498).  It was printed on 18×24  90lb paper, hand printed and pulled (really wish I had a press for this size!)  They are available in a limited signed edition of 30, including 2 small color variants.  Prints are available in my shop: www.joseeen.etsy.com

Phish Fall Tour 2018 Series- Albany

The series continues! The 1st in my series of fall tour posters, This print was inspired by the poster for “The Colossus of New York” (1958), and lyrics from Waking Up Dead.  I was inspired by elements from the original US poster, as well as a UK Quad version.
The images were all hand drawn, inked (pens and brush) and painted with watercolor.  I then scanned them to create a digital painting that is true to the original poster.  The prints are 13×19 on card stock, signed and limited to an edition of 150. Available now in my shop

Still Waiting (for Fall Tour)

I recently had the time to do some much needed maintenance to my Shop, as well as to this site.  I’ve streamlined my shop, and at the same time added more items. Through the power of scroll-down menus, I was able to add setlists from previous years. I’ve also changed up this site, including updating the setlist archives.  It’s now easier to go to a specific show  or tour with endless scrolling.

I have previous year setlists on sale, including deals if you purchase multiple show runs!  I also have 2016 show posters available for all the summer tour shows.  Sadly, I doubt I’ll be able to do show posters for  all of Fall tour (it’s been a busy school year so far) but I might do a poster for all of tour, possibly a block print.   I’ll of course be creating setlists for fall, and with them new song illustrations.  I’m also opening up commissions for any show setlists for only $25!  You tell me the show, I create the setlist with header art, at a very limited edition of 10.  I can also do multiple shows for a discounted price.    You can contact me below if interested, or hit me up on various forms of internet (FB, IG,Twitter links on the side menu).  And as always, a dollar from every setlist sold is donated to Mockingbird Foundation as a thank you for allowing me to use their setlist notes for my setlist art!
