We’re back from Miami and had a fantastic time soaking up the sun and catching some fantastic concerts. Mock Show was a huge success thanks to the hard work of people like Jason Kaczorowski, Jamie Huntsman, and the numerous artists and volunteers involved. Thank you to all!
I was also the proud recipient of two “Golden Tubes” at the first ever Posties Awards. My Miami Heat piece took the “best NYE print” category and I also won the “best Mock Show” category. Congrats to all the other postie winners and thank you to all that voted for my work.
After some sorting, I have a very limited number of prints from 6 editions that will be available on my site this Tuesday, January 5, 2010 at 12 Noon EST.
Included editions are Miami Heat NYE, Mock Show Flamingo, Mock Show Epidemic, the MSG Atlas, Albany Terror Gnome and finally my official print for the December 30th Umphrey’s McGee show at the Aragon.
Please feel free to contact me at aj@masthaystudios with any questions. Hope you have a joyous, prosperous and safe 2010.
Well, after digging out of the 18 inches of snow that dumped on us over the weekend, I for one am ready to throw on my sandals and enjoy some Miami warmth!
If you’re not aware, I’ll be hosting a booth at the upcoming Mock Show Miami on December 30, 2009. I’m once again honored to be participating with artists such as Jeff Wood, Jim Pollock, David Welker and numerous others. Details on the event can be found at www.amockshow.com. Stop by and say hello if you’re in town!
I’ll have a couple new releases for the event, including the one pictured here:
For those not traveling to Miami, I’ll be putting a portion of the edition up for sale on my website tomorrow, Tuesday, December 22, 2009 at 12 Noon EST. The remaining prints will be available at Mock Show.
Please feel free to contact me at aj@masthaystudios with any questions. Hope you enjoy and Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays!

Just breaking on to the poster art scene this year, Denver artist Franky Scaglione, rediscovers the fusion of his longtime connection to the Phish community and his passion for creating art. Scaglione has contributed shirt designs and stickers to the lot scene for years, but has recently found his niche in fine art screenprints.
Franky Scaglione's Magic City Binge
Scaglione completed his BFA in Media Arts at State University of New York (Fredonia) in 2002, and escaped the bitter cold of western NY for the mountains and sunshine of Colorful Colorado. Shortly after the move, he found himself teaching art in an inner-city middle school; it was the perfect gig, allowing him to feel out the teaching world while keeping the summers off for Phish tour. Within three years, Scaglione earned his MA at the University of Denver and began teaching high school art. This is what he loves and is still doing today.
Teaching drawing, painting, and printmaking allows Scaglione to constantly research and experiment with new media and approaches. Six years into his teaching career, he finds himself more inspired than ever before.
Look for his new release, Magic City Binge, to accompany Phish’s four-night run in Miami. Stop by his booth at Mock Show: EPIC NYE to say hello and check out his work.
Magic City Binge is a limited edition screen print run of 175 on 100lb French Pop-Tone, black licorice (18″ x 24″). Please contact Franky at paisleyblue@gmail.com if you are interested in pre-ordering a print. The price is $37 including shipping/handling and reinforced poster tube to anywhere in the US/Canada. Additionally, prints will be available for $25 at my booth at the Mock Show.
One thing that is rarely seen on lot are Phish-themed hats. We have shirts, posters, even underwear and jewelry, but rarely are there hats out there for phans to pick up. That void has been filled with Bill Olshefski’s line of Phish hats.
The hats in this gallery come in two sizes, Small/Medium and Large/XLarge and sell for $25 each. Contact Bill at pompeiiprints@yahoo.com first to check on quantity and style of hat availability, and using Paypal send money to wpo82@yahoo.com. The Slave hats are flat-brim style (think Bisco kidz) while all others are baseball caps.

Colors for the hats varies, with Harpua hats in black or tan, Slave hats in olive, black or gray, Ghost in black, and My Friend My Friend hats in maroon or brown. Bill has many more hats planned for the near future, so stay tuned for more designs!
The only hat reference we could think of comes from the rarest of Phish songs. Use your Pharmer’s Almanac or Phish Companion to figure out this song’s title:
“Keep The Swiss Miss Girl was disgusted
And she smacked him right in his face
Then she took his hat
And she stamped on that”
Steve Rogers continues to create great Phish posters, this time for the upcoming Miami New Years Eve run of shows. These posters are printed digitally on 80 lb stock and measure 11 x 17. A smaller run of 50 prints, each signed and numbered means this poster will go fast and sell out quickly. The concept behind the vulture idea is that the Vulture from Albany is now in Miami waiting, and waiting, and waiting….
Steve gives credit to Marc Averette, a photographer who inspired his rendition of the American Airlines Arena. Steve created a mask over his image of the venue and ‘posterized‘ his image with a dry cut effect, then removed his image and the final design is what you see in the background of the poster.
