They are thin easy-to-remove vinyl decals for customizing your mobile phone. Skins are made from a patented 3M material that eliminates air bubbles for easy application. Available for 3GS, 3G & Original iPhone & iPod touch. (4G iPhone skins coming soon).

All of my work is now available at my new online site. Every piece of art (including The Gamehendge Series) is available as prints (multiple sizes), stretched canvas, iPhone & iPod Touch skins, Mac & PC Laptop skins & T-shirts.

If you are going to the Greek Theater shows in Berkeley, then you are only a short walk from…….

Each piece in the show was created as a celebration of the Three day Phish run at The Greek Theatre, August 5-7, 2010 in Berkeley, California.

On tour, you see a lot of art one piece at a time as you stroll the lots. Some you walk by, others you have the chance to really check out.  Berkeley artist Ryan Kerrigan thought it would be interesting to gather everybody’s creations together, and have them hang for an extended period of time. Eleven artists total are represented in the exhibition: Ryan Kerrigan, A.J. Masthay, Isadora Bullock, Tripp, The Ebeneezers, Ian Millard, Jonathan Lamb, Michael Ortiz, Bruce Horan, Erin Cadigan, and Branden Otto

The show will hang all of August at Vintage Berkeley, a really sweet gallery/wine shop, just under one mile from The Greek Theater, in the “Gourmet Grotto“, Berkeley’s restaurant district. The opening reception will be Friday afternoon, August 7th,  from 12-2pm, and the vino will be flowin’.

Ryan Kerrigan says of Greek Art at Vintage Berkeley: “I’ve shown my work there three times in the past six years, usually solo (although Kerrigan has done an art show with his sister Kelly Anona Kerrigan at Vintage), this will be first time with a group. We have eleven artists for this one this show will focus solely on art related to the August Greek Phish run, and each artist will be showing only their piece related to this run.”

If you are going to the Greek, get yourself to Vintage Berkeley on August 7th from 12-2pm. A short walk for some great art and wine in an area known for its food, you can’t ask for a better pre-show activity!

Update 7/20: Art from Jonathan Lamb and Michael Ortiz:

The prints measure 17 x 15 and are gallery wrapped giclee prints on canvas.  Below are some photos of the finished prints.  All prints are signed and numbered by myself and Ortiz.  Edition of 20 and is $70.00+$15 shipping and can be directly purchased from me via paypal at lamb@likemindedproductions.net

All releases will be signed and numbered by the artists and released in editions of  anywhere from 25-100.  This will make them pretty rare and a very nice piece of art to own.

Since BICYCLE will be a ongoing traveling event hitting up different cities featuring different artists and different musicians over the next few years (and beyond!), you don’t want to miss out on starting your collection of these never seen before pieces. The San Francisco BICYCLE on Aug 4 is the first of these events. This makes this events artist releases the very first of their kind!

Early Art tickets will get you into the event before the crowd to grab the lowest numbers of the editions before they sell out. Early Art show starts at 5pm, General Admission starts at 6pm. That gives you a full hour to hit up all the artists, ask them about their pieces, and grab the ones you want!

Early Art tickets are just $10! And you can get them here!

We couldn’t ask for better artists or a better city to kick off what we plan on becoming a bi-annual, bi-coastal event. Our aim is to bring psychedelic and visionary art to a whole new audience, helping to drive forward the creative and cosmic consciousness that has started with the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.

BICYCLE would like to drive forward public awareness of the positive effects of psychedelics, visions, cosmic consciousness, the Age of Aquarius, the dawning of the Hopi fifth world, the Mayan prophecies, sacred geometry, crop circles and all the myriad positive occurrences that are happening in this universe and being told about through art. BICYCLE also plans to expand peoples understanding of what it means to be a visionary or psychedelic artist by holding a juried exhibit that includes poster artists, fine artists, comic book artists, illustrators, graffiti writers and really artists of any discipline who are trying to tell a positive message through their work. By linking these visual artists with musical artists of varied genres we are expanding the reach and bringing these artists to the attention of a new public sector.

BICYCLE is sponsored by Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies and PhanArt.

PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish is a book compiled and edited by Albany, NY resident Pete Mason. Now in its second printing, the book contains artwork and interviews with those involved in the Phish community. Since its inception PhanArt has donated all of its net profits to The Mockingbird Foundation, over $2,000 to date.

The Mockingbird Foundation is a charitable organization founded to support music education for children. The foundation was set up in 1996 by fans of the band Phish and has since raised over $600,000 through donations and sales of the book The Phish Companion as well as the Phish tribute compilation CD Sharing in the Groove.

You can’t have a good Phish show without a good glow stick war, and you can’t have a good glow stick war without glow sticks. A void has been filled: GlowStickWars.com is here and they have glow stick deals for you.

Well, not really glow sticks as in those heavy, army-surplus store kind. Rather the little skinny ones that don’t hurt when they come whizzing out of the air. They also form glow rings, which have made for many a nice trail to catch flying through the air mid set. GSW has created their own brand of concert-friendly glow sticks, called Show Sticks. And the packaging even features a sick shot taken by a fan during a war at Festy 8.

GlowStickWars.com comes to fans PhanArt Recommended and PhanArtApproved, because they contribute to the making of LIVE ART by the fans at Phish shows, a type of performance art that is fleeting and if you miss it, it’s gone.

You can stock up on Show Sticks by clicking on the Buy Now button below.  For $5.99 you get a tube of 100 Show Sticks: Thin, 8″ Concert-Friendly Glow Sticks with 100 Bracelet Connectors; Show Sticks are non-toxic and non-flammable. This is a pre-sale offer, and all products will be delivered by the first week of June.

A portion of ALL proceeds is donated to The Mockingbird Foundation.

Los Angeles designer and artist featured in PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish, Charlotte Kruse, brings Sweet Evie, a fresh take on timeless elegance in her bold and original accessories and jewelry to the Phish scene.

To all who have known her, the remarkable artistic and design talents of Charlotte Kruse have been evident since her earliest years.

Sweet Evie is a one-woman show, running the website, accounting, sales, tradeshows, not to mention the creation of the jewelery and accessories. Charlotte has found herself most “in the moment” when she’s creating and has come up with a way to make a career out of this. This is what she loves to do: whether it be painting or designing t-shirts for Phish shows or costumes or jewelry, being creative and artistic is who Charlotte is.

Charlotte is inspired by everything around her – nature, texture, color, fashion, history art, music and love.  Sweet Evie is the most joyful expression of all this inspiration. She designs for women/girls, statement pieces and jewelry that you can wear everyday.  Using all kinds of non-traditional jewelry materials – feathers, recycled leather, vintage pins and buttons, and hand dyed-silks, Charlotte personally handcrafts everything herself.

Her work has a hippie vibe, but her work has gotten more refined over time using gold, semi-precious stones, silk, so much that her work could be considered “luxury hippie“. Her art ties into the whole bohemian fashion movement, and from Charlotte’s point of view, “without intention, this is literally what I want to wear and know there are a lot of other people out there from teenagers to older women, who share this aesthetic!”

Charlotte started early because of Phish and in the Phish lots: “I really started working in the fashion industry BECAUSE of phish…I have always made clothing and costumes for myself, but going to phish shows prompted me to design and create clothing/art for sale and for other people. So I think that’s the link in to Phish”

“I no longer actually sell stuff at Phish shows, but man, when I first started making pants and shorts and skirts I sold the shit out of them on Phish lot, my friends have all saved their Chutzhead clothing and like to bust it out to show me when I visit (Chutzhead was the name of the clothing line from back then..I think I still have some stickers or business cards around, so long ago!!) I definitely got top dollar for what I was making and was creating something that was way way different from the other kind of patchworky stuff you’d see out there”

Unique, innovative and stylish, Sweet Evie accessories and jewelry pieces are coveted by all who see them!
