The ninth print in my Summer 2019 series. This is the print that almost didn’t make it with me at Saratoga Springs. I was actually carving it on lot in Camden, which was fun because it actually helped a lot of people understand the process. I finished carving it, and printed them the night before the shows. For SPAC, I opted for the horse racing theme (yeah, I know it’s been done before!) Albrecht Dürer had done a lot of prints with horses, but his wood cut “Saint George and the Dragon” (1504) caught my eye with its king in the background, which made me instantly think of Wilson.
Prints are 9×12 on 11×14 paper, and hand carved and printed. Black and white editions are printed on 140 lb watercolor paper, and the color variants are printed on 98 lb mixed media paper. Black and white are an edition of 30, and a lime green variant of 10. Due to the nature of the process each print may slightly differ in background color. I had these with me on lot at SPAC and the remaining prints are now available in my shop: www.joseeen.etsy.com
Albrecht Dürer- “Saint George and the Dragon” (1504)
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!
It always feels good to be back at SPAC! I was able to attend these shows with a large group of close friends, which made the run very enjoyable, aside for the rainstorm right before the first show (I got soaked of course, and it felt great). We stayed at a house/recording studio 30 minutes from the venue, a nice change from the hotel scene. The lot scene was great, SPAC is known for its shakedown, and it doesn’t fail to deliver. I brought my SPAC posters to sell and got a very positive reaction (and quite a few sales!) I still have some left, but they are going fast!

Apologies for the lack of updates, it’s been a hectic couple days with SPAC run (couch/camptour), The Mann shows (which I attended), then the inevitable wook flu I’ve had the last couple days. I’ve managed though to finished up the SPAC setlists as well as the first night of Mann (only 2 shows behind!) These are all available via etsy, as well as discounts for purchasing whole runs of shows
Last night of SPAC was my favorite of couch tour, in this case camp tour. I thought I’d be missing it since I was doing a family camping weekend. Luckily I was able to get a stream of the show that sounded good, and got to enjoy first set along a lake, and second set in front of a fire.
Mann show was quite the experience. It’s been months since a show, so I was psyched to be able to see them 20 minutes from my house. I was also excited for the lot scene, which from what I heard opened at 9am. First thing we noticed when we got there was that there were cops everywhere. which I didn’t think much of. I’ve sold my antelope canvases before without a problem, even from the Phish copyright police, who ok’ed them at Burgettstown in 2012. So I walked around, sold a couple, and on my way back saw a cop eyeing them. He seemed like he dug them, but then hesitantly told me “You can’t sell those here” He seemed bummed to have to tell me, but then told me “People are getting all their stuff confiscated”, which I wasn’t about to do. Naturally after this encounter, people kept calling me over to see them, but with the cop starting to walk towards me, I decided to cheese it to my car. 😦
The show itself was something else. An impending thunderstorm and announcers telling us to go to our car, we remained stubborn and found shelter under the walkway (Not under a tree, like some people decided to do). We huddled up, made new friends, and shared a flask until the storm subsided. The show didn’t start until 9:20 or so, which was weird because first set was in complete darkness. We expected a long set, but were surprised to find out they were coming back for another set. Thank jeebus that Mann’s curfew is 12:30!
It’s been a crazy couple of days for me. With 3 nights of SPAC, attempting to draw, post, scan, and edit was quite the challenge. I managed to find some decent audio streams of the show all the nights, which works fine for me since I’m not really watching the tv most of the shows. I have been posting the sketches of the setlists on my twitter account, usually right after each set break. This has resulted in lots of new followers and retweets, which is really cool, and doesn’t happen often. I probably won’t post too many works in progress here, but the finished pieces.
Here’s the finished version of the First night at SPAC. I decided to switch to color. The previous setlist seemed a little drab, so I decided to add a bit of color, but not completely. I’m still getting the hang of coloring digitally, but I’m actually enjoying it this time around. The hardest thing to get used to is sitting in front of a computer instead of a table with paper and paint. Depending how this goes, I would like to use more expensive, yet better quality methods to print that would allow me to use watercolors and have the colors accurately reproduced (this has been a problem in the past) .
I have this and several other Phish themed art for sale via my Esty shop, www.etsy.com/shop/Joseeen. I will also have most of these on me when I go to the Mann and Merriweather shows. I usually walk the lots selling/holding the antelope sign canvas up. If there is something I have up here that interests someone, just keep and eye out for me, I may have it on me at the time.
I will try to get the July 4th show done soon, but with the craziness that will incur with the Mann show down the road from me (20 minute drive!) I’ll either be done with it tomorrow or Thursday. I’ll have a small sketchbook with me for the Mann shows, so I’ll be sketching the setlist from the show. Make sure to follow me on twitter to see them, I’ll probably be posting after each set!
Not just reading the book,
