Jackie Maursky from Queens, NY was going through her ticket stubs drawer one day when she decided to create something that everyone could see, and the end result was similar to what you see below.
Ticket Collage
Her first foray into organizing her concert stubs and other music memorabilia in a creative way eventually led to concertcreations.net
These wholly unique creations are a great conversation starter and are very affordable when it comes to preserving memories. An 8*10 Frame costs $39.95, with other sizes and custom framing/pricing available at concertcreations.net, where paypal is accepted for payment

Presenting a very heady, very sensible piece of Phish clothing we full endorse over here at PhanArt: The Antelope NeckTube!
First things first – What the heck is a NeckTube? Well, it’s a durable microfiber polyester/lycra pullover that fits loosely around your neck that you can pull up to cover up the lower part of your face and neck (hence the name, necktube). A softshell necktube, it is ideal for when you are biking, hiking, walking, snowmobiling, or pretty much any other activity where you want to keep cold air from rushing down your neck!
An added bonus, Antelope AND Tube; that makes for some tasty cowfunk jams. A strong selling point.
Antelope NeckTube
NeckTubes are machine washable, durable, will not fade and retains their cylindrical shape with no stretching! Created from a ‘technical fabric’, it keep moisture away from skin and is highly breathable, as well as being wind-resistant and water repellent. They were designed and printed digitally in England by Simon Ossitt, a Phish fan from the other side of the pond (that’s British slang for ocean)
These qualities make it ideal for use in windy and wet conditions where you might need protection for your face or neck but are working hard and also need that extra comfort from the breathability, making it great for biking and trekking, but very adaptable…. these were designed by motorcyclists after all.
Another cool thing about the fabric is that it wont fuzz as fast as some of the competition due to the durability of the weave. They can also be worn as a skullcap or headband.
A donation will be made to MBird with every purchase.
Cost:$23.49 which includes shipping

Driven by the immediacy of the live music environment, Blake attempts to channel the energy, emotion and feeling of the moment, highlighting an interconnectivity of seemingly unrelated or unrelatable objects. Described by fans as “Dali and a graffiti artist in a blender” and “Picasso on acid,” Blake creates largely abstract, yet formative works that are often highly psychedelic in nature.
Having exhibited in NYC, New York, Virginia, Pennsylvania and at festivals all across the country, Blake feels blessed and thankful for the adventure, friends and music that the life as a live artist has provided. He hopes to share his art with as many people as possible and for many years to come.
The next Mock Show Phish Poster convention will be held on Wednesday, December 30th from 10am-3pm in beautiful downtown Miami, not far from the venue. Located on the 14th floor of the EPIC HOTEL (270 Biscayne Blvd. Way, Miami), fans will be able to see dozens of artists throughout the expansive and aptly named EPIC HOTEL. Artists will be spread throughout the Metropolis Ballrooms, Gotham A & B Ballrooms, Baxter Room & Entire Foyer.
The 5th Phish poster convention and 2nd Mock Show will be held December 30th from 10am-3pm at EPIC HOTEL in Miami, Florida. As with other conventions, dozens of artists and exhibitors will be on hand displaying some unique prints both old and new, as well as donate to great fan-based charities.
Having attended the first two conventions as a fan and taken part in the last two as a charitable organization (as PhanArt nets profits for Mockingbird Foundation through sales of PhanArt and other lot art), I have to say these are MUSTSEE and MUSTATTEND events for even the casual observer of lot art. Some AMAZING art is found here. The Poster show in Miami on 12/30/03 was the show that got me hooked on the lot art, and it’s been a great ride ever since. In fact, it’s fair to say that these poster-conventions were the early catalyst for PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish!
Of the artists listed above, there are several official Phish artists including Jim Pollock, David Welker, Jeff Wood, Justin Helton and Sei Rey Ho of Us & Them Studio. This is Ho’s and Wood’s first Mock Shows, joining a crop of artists who have taken part in many, if not all poster shows dating back to 1/3/03 in Hampton, VA.
PhanArtists such as Ryan Kerrigan, Tripp, AJ Masthay, Isadora Bullock, Fred Hosman of HoscoPress, Bruce Horan, Erin Cadigan, Uncle & Aunt Ebeneezer, Noah Phence, Ryan Jerzy, Jamie Huntsman, Vince Naro, and FrankyScaglione will have their art on display, as will Michael Ortiz & Jon Lamb of LikeMindedProductions, Ian Millard and Drew Findley of Subject Matter Studios. Mock Show creator and PhanArtist JasonKaczorowski will be showcasing his concert/festival and celebrityportrait photography in a special exhibition.
Included amongst the artists are non-profit organizations Waterwheel Foundation, Mockingbird Foundation, PhanArt (thats us!) and the main beneficiary from the event, Headcount. Headcount will be sponsoring an exciting opportunity for patrons to engage themselves in the democratic process of voting by helping stage a juried art event wherein patrons will receive ballots upon entry (and previously online) to “vote” for the their artists spanning various categories including “Best of Show”, “Best New Artist”, “Best Mock Show Poster” among others.
These votes will be tallied and awards will be presented during a catered VIP banquet ceremony Thursday, December 31st, 2009 from Noon-4pm. The awards ceremony will feature an additional surprise roster of artists exhibiting in a currently undisclosed location. Check back November 30th when tickets go on sale to learn how you can be one of only 100 special VIP guests to attend this inaugural awards ceremony dubbed “The Posties” where the coveted “Golden Tubes” will be distributed to artists voted best in their field. You’ll have a unique opportunity to talk candidly with artists, browse an exclusive collection of fine art on display, attend the afternoon’s inaugural “Posties” ceremony all while enjoying a premium open bar and delicious hors d’oeuvres. More information at on the Mock Show website starting Monday, November 30th, 2009 when tickets go on sale.

Julie Boardman is an Oklahoma native living in Phoenix, Arizona. Having been a potter for 15 years, she makes a variety of ceramic pieces including functional pieces including: bowls, mugs, and vases. As a bonus, she also makes ceramic jewelry pendants. Her pieces are eclectic and have various colors and textures represented.
Julie’s husband Christopher is a veteran Phish fan and she has grown to love the band as well. Having attended 8 a few weeks ago, she found it to be ‘quite an experience’, an understatement for a Phish festival first-timer. Julie made some ceramic jewelry pieces and ceramic art to commemorate the event.
Julie sells her necklaces for $ 15.00 (2 for $ 25 in the lot) with the buyers choice of hemp or leather strap. $ 3.50 shipping with a discount on multiple orders. As you can see from the second picture above, she does designs of dragon flies, turtles, coins, suns, hearts, Kanji (love), leaves and trees. She does some on a regular firing and some raku (you can see the metallic shine of the raku below, with that particular piece displaying Kanji symbols)
Ordering info can be found….
The bowls average $ 30.00 with the shipping a bit higher, $ 13.50 for USPS Priority. Additionally, Julie does candle making and can take custom orders. Visit her website at
Some very intelligent folks who rune the OnCenter Complex in Syracuse have come up with a great idea: an indoor lot scene that is free for phans to take part in, selling their lot goods inside, away from the cold Syracuse winter (it comes early, trust me)
Inside the OnCenter from 9am-730pm will be vendors such as SoundGarden (Cuse’s own great record store), Henna tattoo Artists, Massage Therapist, Tarot Card readers, (beer) Belly Dancers (10 heady points if you know that song reference) and many book vendors.
Fans can vend too! This is your pre-show too! It is FREE for you to take part! So if you have something to sell, whether it be clothing, art, or something else. PhanArt will be there selling the book, shirts, stickers and posters, as well as displaying some of the latest fan-art from 8! To register, all you need is to contact Michelle at the OnCenter at 315-435-8000 to register and you are in! No Cost! No Fee! No Fee? Maybe a Fee during the Phish show, that would be heady. Been since 7/29/03 since I caught one.
But I digress…..
Phish fans can come to the OnCenter, check out the scene inside, and listen to some local bands, including The Lost Marbles, Soul Risin‘, and Dark Hollow (on stage from 2-6pm – this will be an AWESOME pre-show)
It’s gonna be cold, cold, cold, cold in the ‘cuse, so take advantage of this indoor, warm environment to sell your wares and make some money for tour!
Note: Glass vendors- sorry, no dice on this. I checked with them and they just aren’t cool like that. Sorry, but they just wouldn’t say yes.
Beyond the glass thing, this is a PhanArt Recommended, PhanArt Approved event! (PRPA)

As Phish fans get older, we wind up settling down, getting married, and start making babies. As surprising as not-surprising, Phish fans have started marketing lot goods to parents of future Phish fans.
Created by Dave Ginsberg, a 170+ show veteran who just welcomed his first child into the world recently, the collection of Baby clothes seen below can be put on onesies and toddler t’s.
Dave and his wife Dana got the idea from buying every onesie from drygoods for our 3 nieces over the years. They thought ‘Why not create some lot style onesies we’d buy ourselves?’ Together, Dave and Dana came up with over 30 designs, with Dave personal fave ” I came from my daddy’s BBJ”, as it is only for hardcore fans and worth the reaction when someone gets it.
They made a small trial batch for Hampton of four original designs: ‘You Enjoy Me’, ‘I love to take a bath’, ‘I sleep diagonal in my crib’, and ‘Fishman’s my daddy’. They were gone before they even left the hotel. Over the summer Dave sold 100+ over just a few shows. More designs were printed for summer tour and even more for this coming fall tour.
Dave and Dana recently welcomed their 1st child into this world…Luke Phisher Ginsberg. You can expect to see him as feature model of youenjoyme, and we encourage fans to post pics of your little ones in YouEnjoyMe gear!
The cost for each of these 1 for $15, 2 for $25, with $5 shipping on all orders.
Visit www.youenjoyme.comto pick one up – $15 for each shirt/onesie. Make sure you specify what the order is for!
