Bruce Horan’s Rhythm Guide and Victorine

Two new prints from PhanArtist Bruce Horan are here just in time for the holidays. Bruce has brought many great prints in the past He continues to create and develop amazing pieces of art and these two prints are no exception.

The first, Rhythm Guide, is a 2 color screenprint on olive green recycled Speckletone cover stock. This print measures 13 x 19.25 inches and costs $20 + 8 shipping. Pick one up here

About Rhythm Guide
The tiger represents leadership, strength and nobility. Here we see the tiger as a Native American Chief, a position of leadership and guidance. The tiger is now an animal guide who shares its power and wisdom with us, helping us by bringing harmony and balance into our
lives. Our tiger totes an electric guitar, focusing his powers into the rhythm and musical harmonies around us, allowing us to find our own melodies within the balanced energy that surrounds. Also, he shreds.

Victorine a 4 color screen print on French Speckletone recycled stock, 22 x 15.5, full bleed and deckled edges. Limited edition of 25. Cost is $30, with $10 shipping. Pick one up here

Victorine was Edouard Manet’s favorite model. Here we see her sitting in her famous and provocative pose from Le Dejeuner Sur L’herbe, but within a new surrounding. We have a confusing and somewhat surreal scene in which Victorine appears to be leaning upon an abstracted double-decker bus which now conforms into a new dimensional plane. From behind, a sun-crowned giraffe approaches possibly with a message, while a city scape appears from behind Van Gogh’s olive trees. The giraffe represents communication and vision into the future. Perhaps the giraffe will explain to Victorine the meaning behind her voyage into a new modern world where all objects and images undergo redefinition and a new interpretation.

Summer 2010 posters from Peter Washburn and Phil Luong

Peter Washburn and Phil Luong made these posters as a way to commemorate Phish’s 2010 Summer Tour as well as the July 3rd and 4th, 2010 shows in Alpharetta, Georgia.  They are printed on thick card stock and measure 13″ x 18.75″.

For the Summer Tour poster we used a shillouette theme with the Tweezer lyrics “Step Into the Freezer” as a juxtaposition to “Summer Tour” as well as an ironic way to escape the sweltering heat of the summer and enter the heat of the planet we know as “Phish”.

We created the posters for the July 3rd and 4th, 2010 shows in Atlanta (Alpharetta) to celebrate the nation’s birthday with a play on the very famous World War I Army recruitment made by James Montgomery Flagg in 1916.  In this case, however, both Trey and Mike are “Uncle Sam” and instead of saying “I Want YOU For U.S. Army” they say “We Want YOU To Be Happyfrom the song “Joy”.

Phil is a graphic designer in Jacksonville, FL and Peter is a botanist living in Greenville, SC.  They have each been seeing Phish since 1996. The summer tour poster is $15 while the “We want YOU” prints are $20, or get all 3 for $40!

AJ Masthay NYE MSG presale information

A holiday pre-sale message from AJ Masthay

Hard to believe it’s already December 1st and the short holiday run is literally right around the corner. I’ve been incredibly busy in the studio working on a very exciting set of prints for the Umphrey’s McGee New Years run at the Riviera Theatre in Chicago. UM currently has a presale going on for the sets and released the image to the right, but Ill also have a small allotment of prints available after New Years. I’ll be wrapping up these sets early next week and will be turning my attention to MSG.

Surprise, surprise – it’s a triptych, but I think it’s a pretty kick-ass one if I do say so myself. Whenever I think of New Years I think back to my first two shows, 12/29/93 and 12/31/93the fish tank stage (yes, I skipped 12/30 = EPIC FAIL). These images are highly influenced by the memories of day-glow fish and giant clams, I also wondered what it would look like if MSG had sunk to the bottom of the ocean, black smokers spewing clouds of silt and tube worms taking over the 300 and 400 sections.

Anyway, check it out yourself on my store page where I have links to detailed photos of the sketches. These will be 7 color linoleum block prints in an edition of 111 on Canson edition antique white paper stock. A special presale will begin this Friday, December 3, 2010 at 12 Noon EST on my website. During the presale I’ll be including insured shipping in the cost of $100 per set. These prints will be completed and shipped prior to Christmas.

NYE Collectible Token/Pendant by Jennifer Kahn

Vermont artist Jennifer Kahn has been making jewelry for over a decade. Her designs fuse old and new, industrial and natural, urban and ethnic. She graduated from UVM with a BA in Art and English in 2001. Since then, she has been apprenticed to renowned jewelry artist Celie Fago, from whom she’s learned PMC (Precious Metal Clay) and metalsmithing. Jen has sold her work at craft shows, in galleries and has been featured in exhibits across the US, UK, and Japan. Her work has been in top jewelry magazines and several books; she most recently wrote a chapter for the popular book calledStitched Jewels“; her earrings are the cover design.


Ever since Jen attended her first Phish show, she has been taken by the community, the art and most of all, the music. As a maker of little things, she loves the merit badge concept and it inspired her to create a token. Since she works in metal and is excited for the New Years Run in NYC, a token, reminiscent of subway tokens, was an appealing idea. It’s made of pure silver and is the size of a quarter. Each one is hand made by Jen.

It comes in an archival coin display holder for $25, or as a pendant on black waxed cotton cord (16″ or 18″) with sterling ends and a sterling lobster clasp for $35. Or on a sterling chain for $45. In addition to the commemorative fish and apple, and “NYE, NYC, MSG”, all three show dates are inscribed among the lines on the edge. A limited edition of only 100 tokens will be made to order. This is definitely a collector’s item!

Jen is donating a portion of every sale to the Mockingbird Foundation because as important as art is to her, she couldn’t live without the music and she wants that to be true for future generations.

You can see more of Jen’s work on her website: www.jenniferkahnjewelry.com and purchase from her Etsy shop: www.jenkahn.etsy.com. You can also find her selling in Burlington, VT at various Holiday craft shows and on display at Trinket (28 Church St.) anytime.
