Joseph Griffith’s Hampton Poster “Dwarf Leopard of the Mothership”

Leave a comment

Joseph Griffith, new to PhanArt, has created a piece, “Dwarf Leopard of the Mothership” for the upcoming Phish shows in Hampton this weekend. Created for a local charity event to help feed Hampton’s homeless, it was painted by hand with watercolors, locally harvested brackish algae and salt crystals from evaporated Chesapeake Bay water and painted on yupo paper. There will also be a limited edition, signed and numbered run of 50 self-published prints, each measuring 11″ x 17″. They are printed on heavy 14-pt glossy cover stock and cost $35 each, with US Shipping included.

Joseph will be selling these in-person at the Mill Point Music Festival at St. George Brewery in Hampton, VA on Saturday, October 19th from 11am to 8pm. Natalie Cressman and James Casey of the Trey Anastasio Band will be playing during that afternoon!

Art show in Hampton at Conch & Bucket, October 18-20

Leave a comment

Beginning October 18 and ending October 20, Conch & Bucket will present an art show and poster sale to celebrate the Hampton Coliseum and Phish’s return to the historic venue.

Michael Hamad of Setlist Schematics fame will take part as well as Joseph Griffith, winner of the Hampton Bay Days poster contest. Artists will feature the Coliseum and incorporate one song, and Hamad has mapped out some classic shows and jams from the Mothership. A contest among the artists featured will be held over the course of the Hampton run, with the winner receiving a metal trophy of the Coliseum designed and constructed by Hampton artist Cha Cha Mubinga. The announcement will be made during Tall Tall Trees set, which will begin shortly after the Surrender to the Boat trip on Sunday.

Voting is open to the public and will cost one dollar. All revenue from the votes will be donated to Saint John’s Church in an effort to feed the homeless in Hampton.

Conch & Bucket is the brainchild of Peter Pittman (owner of the Taphouse) and was recently visited by Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods. Conch proffers local seafood, steak, fine wine, and draft beer. It has a cozy back patio and is located in downtown Hampton just three miles from the Coliseum.

Widespread Panic has spent 25 years earning a reputation for amazing live shows. The band’s commitment to the live experience is not limited to the stage, but to visual artists across the country. Much like Phish, the band has been dedicated to commissioning artists to create limited edition posters for their shows and they have archived all of these posters in their vault.

Every Widespread Panic fan would love the chance to dig through the bands poster archive, and with Poster Children, they get the chance. Over 400 posters spanning their entire career are included in this 320 page hardcover book, including notes from Dave Schools and John Bell and from the poster artists, including EMEK, Marq Spusta, Chuck Sperry and Jeff Wood.

Bassist Dave Schools on Poster Children: “These posters were another way for our fans to relive the show and commemorate a good time. In a way, they were like the gatefold record cover of the by-gone vinyl era – a visual interpretation for fans to look at while listening to our music.”

Poster Children is slated for a Black Friday release on November 29th. Pre-order requests will be filled first-come, first-served, while supplies last. This is a limited edition book and only one run of books will be printed.  Order the book here
