Commissioned Setlists – 2025 in Review

As I finish off my fourth year of creating commemorative Phish ticket stubs, I still enjoy creating illustrated setlists of shows. I usually keep commissions open for setlists of past shows throughout the year, with 12 commissioned setlists created this year. These commissions allow me to take a deep dive into these shows and choose images that best suit that specific show.

Each setlist was made as a very small edition, but I may have some physical copies available, so you can send me a message via Etsy to inquire. These are also available as a digital file.

Phish Summer Tour 2025

I have all of my summer tour stubs now available in my shop! This was about 4 month’s worth of work, and I’m very happy to be done! Well, until I start up art for the September shows. I will be added the original paintings to my shop soon, although a few have been snatched up already! Be sure to follow my IG (@joseeen) or Facebook page ( Josean Rivera Fine Art) for updates on those.

Check out my previous stubs below:

Commissioned Setlists – 2024 in Review

As I finish off my third year of creating commemorative Phish ticket stubs, I still enjoy creating illustrated setlists of shows. I usually keep commissions open for setlists of past shows throughout the year, with 9 commissioned setlists created this year. These commissions allow me to listen to shows for the first time, or revisit others. I also get to hear about someone’s first/ show, or in one case, how someone lost their glasses at a show, only for Fishman to be the one who found them!

These were made as a very small edition, but I have a few physical copies available. These are also available as a digital file.

The Phish Setlist Art Spreadsheet

Phish Setlist Art Spreadsheet

After years of talking about it, I recently finished creating a one-stop shop to view all my setlist art. I was inspired by the Phish Downloads Spreadsheet, which contains downloads of almost every Phish show, recorded by tapers at shows.

My spreadsheet contains every show I’ve created setlist art for since I started in 2014. I also include all the commissioned setlists for older shows (57 to date!), some of 2013 that I had done, and nearly every setlist for each showed played from 2014-2021!

Each section is listed by year and gives you an Imgur link to view the setlist art, purchase links, and a link to the setlist via Phish.net if you need help figuring it out!

Phish MSG NYE

My final block print of 2019, created for Phish’s  NYE run. The 14th in my yearlong series inspired by the work of Albrecht Dürer. This print was inspired by part of “The Tapestry of Michelfeld” (date ND) and includes several birds found in Phish songs, as well as Trey’s dog Marley.  As I researched the image, I found it interesting that it was actually based off a tapestry made about a 100 years prior, this being a recreation of it.  Prints are currently available in my shop.

It’s been quite a year working on all these block prints! I didn’t expect that it would take nearly all my free time, but it was a fun experience.  For those asking, yes there will be a Dick’s Run linocut, hopefully before the end of the month.  I had opted to not make one at the time, mainly since I was back at school teaching, and had too many other things on my plate.

As for what 2020 brings, I’m still not sure.  A new year will bring a new theme and possible medium for my Phish prints, although I see myself going back to printmaking for some song illustrations or Grateful Dead inspired work.
