I met Curt Holzer from Tallahassee, FL while driving from Orlando to Miami on 12/28. I stopped at a rest stop and noticed an email from him asking me about Mock Show. While I wasn’t the one to get in touch with about that, his poster blew my mind and I had to wake up Tim and Naomi to share the poster with them. I later caught up with him and picked up a couple of prints for our group. Needless to say, this was a chance encounter that paid off with a great print to bring home and some great art to share with the masses
This digital print measures 13 * 21 and is of a run of 250. Only a dozen remain!
You can pick one up by sending $20 (which includes S+H) via Paypal to holzer.curt@gmail.com

For our first auction of the year, we have a set of FIVE Miami prints with net-profits going to Mockingbird Foundation. Individually, these prints would cost $100 total. We are starting the bidding at $50 and hope for Phish fans to be generous and get these great prints before they are all gone! Many are already sold out, and you dont want to miss out on this great lot art!
These posters were donated by the artists for this auction, and all profits from the winning auction price (not including shipping and handling) will benefit Mockingbird Foundation for music education (www.mbird.org) All posters are in mint conditions and will come rolled in the same tube. ‘Java’ John’s print will ship seperate, direct from the artist.
While in Miami, I was lucky enough to meet and make friends with Jeffery and Holly Bowling from San Francisco. While selling beer and water on the lot, I noticed the sticker in Holly’s hand, quite familiar to one that I saw in Albany. This sticker was a hard-to-find lot item, but one of our Top 10 lot items from Fall tour. Turns out we had mutual friends and a conversation about the stickers started. We hung out that night at their hotel and on the beach and discussed getting the stickers up on the blog.
Exclusively on the PhanArt Blog, we have the Keep Trey Sober stickers for sale from Jeffery and Holly. Whats more, is that $1 of each sticker goes to Mockingbird! The generosity is amazing and we thank Jeff and Holly immensely for this unselfish act.
You can pick up the stickers by sending money to hrc333@yahoo.com via paypal.com
With the ever popular sticker having sold out multiple printings, and many months of requests for these, Jiggs is bringing back the Kuroda Laser Pointer shirts.
Chris got one of these stickers and placed it right on his light board, and Jiggs considered making at least make a few shirts. The lime green color was chosen to represent the laser color and the original run was on charcoal colored shirts.
After daily requests to reprint them, Jiggs decided on a run of the original colors, as well as a new one; a dark violet text on sand. The text is screen printed on a Gildan 6.1 oz. 100% cotton shirt.
You can also request a hoodie. They are priced at $40. Email Jiggs at mrminor@gmail.com for those requests.
In the interest of keeping fans up to date on what’s brewing with PhanArt, we have dedicated this blog post to explaining how the donations to The Mockingbird Foundation take place, who donates what, and answer any questions you may have via the comments section below.
PhanArt raised $1314.24 over the course of 2009, startingat the book launch party on 2/7/09, and ending12/30/09 at Mock Show Miami. That’s a ton of money, butwhere did it all come from? We have found a way to provide as much clarityas to where this money comes from, en route to its final destination, The Mockingbird Foundation.
Halley and PhanArt Pete doing some intense research c. 2006
First things first, PhanArt does not accept monetary donations of any nature. We have never taken any cash in hand, aside from at Mock Shows and PhanArt held events, and that money is sent off to The Mockingbird Foundation immediately. PhanArt is not a 501 (c)(3), nor do we make an effort to become one. Instead, we direct fans to donate directly to The Mockingbird Foundation via paypal or mbird.org The only donations PhanArt collects are those made by artists and fans and blog contributors in the form of shirts, posters, stickers, etc…, as well as from profits from the sale of PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish as each printing of books sells out.
Every two months, we will update what we have collected, and what we have donated from the sale of these items through auctions on ebay. We do not keep what is donated.Stickers and other items that were given to us during the collection period for the making of PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phish were given away with sales of the book. We will continue this practice.
Good advice^^^
How we came up with the list. Well, very simply, we kept track of all donations made to Mockingbird through various methods – direct donations via PhanArtists, ebay auctions, paypal receipts from blog artists, and any form of proof that money went from artist/fan to Mockingbird. Again, no money is donated to PhanArt, or given to us at any point, aside from at poster shows. That amount is relayed to members of The Mockingbird Foundation, and they receive a check in the mail from PhanArt shortly thereafter. Case in point, we raised $40 at Mock Show on 12/30/09 from sales of donated items alone. We mentioned this to George and Elayne who had the Mockingbird booth next to us at Mock Show. They knew to expect it being sent, and we furthermore notified Ellis Godard, executive director of The Mockingbird Foundation, as has been done since earlier this year.
The PhanArt Blog shows the collective impact of Phish fans through the art created in the Phish community. We at PhanArt look forward to 2010 and continuing a great Phish tradition!
