Quinn came across a handful of this sticker he made for Coventry in 2004. “This DWD sticker is pretty self explanatory. My favorite band in the world broke up & although I was totally bummed, I wanted to say thanks for the best times of my life. Beneath the DWD lyric, it says “THANK YOU PHiSH! Aug. 14 & 15, 2004 COVENTRY, VT.” I think it’s fitting that it’s in funeral black too.
The cost for this sticker is $1 + $1 shipping
i’m happy to donate 10% to mbird..

From Eli Forrester come some unique Astronaut pins.
The first pin is the whats the usetronaut? Just a space-tastic phish pin.
The second pin is the Voyager Golden Record. In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2. Each satellite carried a gold record containing the “Murmurs of Earth,” a collection of sights and sounds that would act as a time capsule of our planet and species should any intelligent life form intercept the satellites along the way. Carl Sagan and a team of colleagues were responsible for deciding what information would be included on the records: how to say “hello” in 100+ languages, music from around the world, bird calls, thunder, and much more. The image on the pin is the same as the cover of the the actual records. Check out a detailed explanation of the designs on the pin here.
The quote on the back of the pin are the words that somebody (most likely Carl Sagan) secretly scribbled onto the records shortly before the satellites were supposed to be launched. Since everything aboard these satellites must be totally sterile and to exact specification, whoever wrote it almost compromised the entire mission. But the records got sent out anyways and they are still in transit, en route to the nearest planetary systems which should take about 40,000 years.

Presenting a very heady, very sensible piece of Phish clothing we fully 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.
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.
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 portion of each sale will be donated to The Mockingbird Foundation.
Cost:$23.49 which includes shipping
“TAKE THE SPIRIT OF THE ANTELOPE WITH YOU WHEREVER YOU GO!!!”
From Jiggs:
In collaboration with Phro at Taboot Art, I am pleased to announce my first foray into Phish fan posters. Based on a solid concept from my good friend Phro, I created this poster around his cuckoo clock theme. This one had a great deal of back and forth until we hammered out the final image. I can easily say this is the most work I have put into a design before. The final image ended up turning out great.
The poster will be a 10 x 18 size, and at the time of this pre-order post, should be at least 8 colors (the colors represented here will be as close as possible, but as with any printing process, there will be some room for adjustment). The design will be screen printed on 100 stock water color paper. The posters will be shipped via a Uline poster tube, wrapped in artists paper, and will go out Priority Mail. There will only be 200 of this run.
The pre-order features a discounted price of 20 dollars, plus 10 dollars shipping (reg price will be 25 plus shipping). This pre-order will end on Wednesday, November 30th.
Please send $30 for each poster you would like (pre-order price and shipping) to jeff@tabootart.com with JIGGS/PHRO NYE POSTER in the subject, or email him directly at the email address listed.

From SugarShack Pins comes Nelson from The Simpson’s, set in a Phish/Dead environment. Nelson pin pokes fun at that dynamic, as he wears his 13 point bolt and points mocking – “HA HA HA”
What the pin represents…a social commentary:
Nelson represents the Bully mentality.
Senseless, Baseless Bully-ing and mocking.
If Nelson was part of our concert scene, (IMO) he’d be a Deadhead.
So being a Furthur/Deadheadhead he would most likely participate
in the hating that goes on toward Phisheds…
He would most certainly use is most popular mock – HA HA !
but since he’s mocking Phisheds…He’d modify it to the situation
to make it more personal to those listening…HA HA HA !
using the Phish song title to antagonize his victims.
What’s the point ? There is none.
Nelson belives you are not as cool as him, so he mocks you.
But he’s an idiot, and an asshole.
He’s in touch with his inner Bully/moron, and behaves that way.
Much the same thing goes on the the real word.
Deadheads hating on Phisheds for no reason.
WHY ?
We both do the same thing…
Devote all our time and efforts to go see and follow a band we love.
Who cares what someone else is doing. Do your own thing.
But the Nelsons in the Dead community seem to rear their unenlightened heads,
and spout hate.
This pin is 1.5″ tall, has two posts with metal clutches. Made with hard enamel with the Sugar Shack Pins logo on the back, this series is not numbered, but only 100 were made. The pin will not be reprinted and there will be no variants. The pin costs $15 and is shipped USPS 1st class with tracking.
SOLD OUT
From AJ Masthay:
The rapture is upon us!
Okay, maybe not, but new years at MSG is pretty close to the rapture for many fans…. This years edition marks a first for Masthay Studios, yup it’s a quadtych. Four individual prints that when combined create one large image. New years prints are somewhat of a tradition for me, going all the way back to the 2002 hiatus return at MSG. Last year, I documented the printing process of the MSG triptych on a thread on phishposters.com – so why not continue that tradition and document the quads!
I’ll be regularly updating the new Masthay Studios Blog with photos and commentary on the printing process along with a wonderful introduction by Mr. Miner of Mr. Miner’s Phish Thoughts. For those that decide to purchase the set, you’ll be able to follow along and literally watch your prints being made from start to finish. Looking for more dirt on this edition? Mr. Miner asked me a few questions about my creation process, the interview is up now on PhishThoughts.com.
Now I hope you’re asking, “How do I purchase these wonderful prints?”. Well, I’ll tell you…
These eight color linoleum block prints are from an edition of 150 sets and are printed on archival quality Canson Edition paper stock. All prints will be available on MasthayStudios.com this Friday, November 18th, at 12 noon EST.
If you happen to be traveling to the City for the shows, please join myself and Mr. Miner for two very special events on December 29th. The first is a book signing and the second is an aftershow party. Both are taking place at The Irish Times – 254 W 31st St. (b/w 7th and 8th Ave), less than 1 block from MSG!
The Book Signing: 4 pm – 6 pm
The Afterparty w/ Coltrane and Friends: Post-show – 3 am – FREE!
View more details…
As always feel free to email me atinfo@masthaystudios.com with any questions, concerns, comments, etc. See ya at MSG!
*Please note, the above image is of the preliminary sketches for the prints. Production of the final prints is currently underway and can be followed in my blog. While the sketches are a close approximation, the final prints will have differences in appearance and color to what is show above. I estimate having all prints shipped out prior to the new year’s shows.
