Donations from UIC and Da Mock Show

Once again, Da Mock Show was a great success. Using donated pieces of art – shirts, posters, stickers, pins, badges, etc…, plus a % of PhanArt sales, we were able to raise $200 to benefit The Waterwheel Foundation. Special thanks to Jason Kaczorowski for setting up yet another successful poster show, Julie and Vanessa for helping setup and run the table with me (PhanArt Pete) and to all who stopped by and picked up something from the table and supported the artists and The Waterwheel Foundation.

We also had some donations at UIC to note:

Six merit badges from Patchy McPatcherson (not his real name)

Dead fish eye pin from John Warner of JDub Allstars and coming soon….. doctorflufftees.com

Lot life for two posters and 10 Superball NY license plate stickers

Ryan Kerrigan – Chicago sticker

Jonny from Cashortrade.org – Silhoutette shirt and 12 stickers

Thank you all for your support. Including this $200, we have raised nearly $1500 this year alone, with much more to come in the final months of the year!

Read Icculus stickers

From Christine Liotti come her ‘Read Icculus” stickers

“During the Oswego ’99 Icculus, my friends and I hugged and held each other laughing hysterically in an “I can’t!” kind of moment and I’ll never forget it. After that we all labeled everything “Read-Icculus” every chance we had. Finally in 2003 I made the first run of stickers, then in 2009 made a new sticker and a t-shirt. After selling out of all editions (the t-shirts sold out after Hartford ’09’s Icculus), I made this smaller, and possibly final version before summer tour ’11.

Side note – On 8/23, thanks for Christines kindness of donating 30 stickers all to benefit Mockingbird Foundation, we SOLD OUT! IN LESS THAN AN HOUR and together made $60.76 for Mockingbird Foundation! Nice work!

Japhan Earthquake Relief Updated

After a month of fundraising for the Japanese Earthquake victims, through the efforts of Ryan Kerrigan and Lizzy Layne. Between sales of their art seen below, PhanArt and Friends helped to raise $217.50 for Peace Winds America Japan Relief. You can still buy the posters for a limited time to continue the donations rolling in to Japan. The relief effort is far from complete there and any amount you can donate helps, especially if you get a cool piece of art in the process!

Special thanks to Ryan Kerrigan and Lizzy Layne for their extraordinary generosity in donating their art, both original pieces, to help this fundraising effort.

Phish.net shirts to benefit Mockingbird

Phish.net is opening its online store for business today with its first offerings, new 2011 Phish.net T shirts — for the first time since the old 1994 version sold out years ago! Three different styles of T shirts are available for ordering at the Phish.net online store.

(Old School 2011 Phish.net Tshirt, designed by Eric Wyman of the Phish.net site team $20)

The Phish.net storefront and fulfillment is being handled by Port Merch, an online merchandise marketing company for many independent artists and bands, including Bonnie Raitt and the Blind Boys of Alabama. We are thrilled to be partnering with Port Merch to insure that orders to the Phish.net store will be professionally fulfilled and shipped quickly by a convenient online “mail order” storefront, as people have come to expect.

(The Mockingbird Foundation volunteers are equally pleased not to have to be storing merch in their basements and running to the post office as we did in the days of “blanks and postage”, but to have Chip Taylor and the pros incuding our own Bryan Rodgers @Planbee at Port Merch handling that for us!).

In the coming month, Phish.net will be adding more clothing and hard goods items to the Phish.net store, including embroidered logo hats, stickers, pins, beverage “coozies”, patches, license plate frames and other items. Stay tuned to Phish.net for information on when they will be available.

Soon, the online store will be reachable through a link “STORE” in the Phish.net navigation bar and a subdomain alias “store.phish.net” as soon as it can be programmed into the site source code. The store can also be reached directly through the Port Merch site

Any profits from the sale of Phish.net merchandise items will support the costs of maintaining the Phish.net fan site and to the programs supporting music education for children done by Phish.net’s operator, the fan supported charity, The Mockingbird Foundation.

JaPhanArt from Ryan Kerrigan and Lizzy Layne to support earthquake relief efforts from Peace Winds America

Lizzy Layne and Ryan Kerrigan have generously donated some of their original artwork to raise funds to benefit Peace Winds America’s Japan Relief Fund. Read below to see how you can help and the great art you can get in return for a small donation.

Lizzy Layne – Ningensei

Ningensei is the Japanese word for Humanity. This piece was created by Lizzy as a small contribution to help those affected by the recent disaster in Japan. Such tragedies remind you of the more important and less petty things in life and bring about a time where we must find compassion and humanity within ourselves. This piece of PhanArt, although targeted mainly to Phish fans, still has the entire nation in mind because music is universal and is one of the few other positive things that can bring people together. The original art will be auctioned off starting at $50 and 100 prints of the art will be sold online for $10 plus s+h. Prints of this original watercolor on rice paper painting measure 8″ x 12″

Feel good about helping those in need while getting back a fun piece of art in return!

Ryan Kerrigan ‘Nectar’s”


Ryan Kerrigan’s “Nectar’s” print debuted on 9/9/99 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Printed in an edition of 2000, most of these posters were sold on the Fall tour in 1999, and until recently the remaining posters were secure in a tube, waiting for a day when they would be available for purchase. The last 50 of these posters are available to benefit Peace Winds America’s Japan Relief Efforts. The poster measures 16 X 20 and is signed and numbered. This Poster is sold out!
