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
Andrew Abis’ MSG Print is a perfect incorporation of the band’s unique history at MSG. This poster is 7.5″ x 23″ in size, printed on Strathmore Black Paper using Jacquard Screen Printing Ink, 2 Color, Blue & Silver in an edition of 175 Signed & Numbered prints
10. Keep Trey Sober sticker – there have been a few things in poor taste relating to Trey’s sobriety. This is not one of them. It’s a good idea. A group effort is needed in all recovery from addiction. Keep that in mind. 9. Ph1-N1 shirt – Created by John Warner and Jduballstars; a nice nod to the flu that came and went faster than it takes to play the song this shirt is themed after. 8. Andrew Abis MSG – This poster tells a ton of stories about the band playing MSG. This is GREAT art! Pick it up by emailing Andrew at prints@onephanstrash.com – $35 with free shipping!

7. Phenster’s pins – unique as hell, and not the rip-offs of the logo that a few people had the cojones to parade around (you know who you are). Noah keeps coming up with hits, and the pins look to be a regular top 10 feature, if these are any indication! phishpins.blogspot.com
6. Albany Lot Shirts – created by two hometown fans for two hometown shows.
5. Jiggs’ Ghost shirt – An Instant Classic. Up there with Glide/Tide in the Phish Lot pantheon of shirts. 4. Steve Rogers Syracuse Poster – Orange and Proud of it! Sick hometown show too! 3. God Says Jerry’s Fine Indio Church shirt – yes, we know, its from Indio, but everyone on lot who saw this wanted one. We still want to know where to get one even! If you made it, or know who made it, get us in touch with the creator!
2. AJ Masthay Atlas MSG – Sold out the day it went on sale, with an iconic image and Masthay’s 8 color linoleum block print. A highly sought after poster. So when does he get to start making the official posters?
1. Bobbleheads – these have been the hottest item throughout Phish land, and equally so, a reported pain to the Phish management. Technically, they arent legit, since they bear the resemblance of the members of the band, but at the same time, they are so amazingly put together and designed. You cannot deny that, and as much as you want one, you probably cant afford one, since they are going for over $100 on ebay at any given time.
For the record, no, we don’t know where to get them, as we have been looking for the creator and that has been to no avail. Please, don’t ask. This mystery man/woman has chosen to remain unknown. Let’s respect that.
John was also commissioned for a series of sculptures, sponsored by Gibson Guitars, that were featured throughout Miami in early 2009 and later auctioned off for charity.
Java is also a poster artist and creates unique show posters and images of iconic musicians. A former Deadhead, John also helps to put together the annual ‘Jerry Daze‘, a Tribute to Jerry Garcia, a Live Jam Band event thatgoes strong every year & always raises cash for a good cause.
All the Posters seen below are $20 and includes shipping within the U.S.

Presenting the First Annual PhanArt Holiday Bundle! This collection of items has been donated from multiple PhanArtists, including JLees, RyanKerrigan, Jiggs, ScrambleCampbell, Steve Rogers, Bruce Horan among others. Over the course of the past few months, we have had individual auctions of donated art which have netted close to $300 for Mockingbird Foundation.
For the holiday season, we have decided to take a large chunk of the art we have and put it together into one large bundle for Mockingbird Foundation. We think this will be a great addition to any fans archive of posters and shirts and other lot items, or a way to give gifts this holiday season with the enormous amount of art contained within it.
Contained in this bundle are 5 posters, 4 shirts, 3 stickers, a copy of STTF #22 from Festival 8, a copy of STTF #23 from Fall tour, The PLAYBILL from 9/12/09 Trey Anastasio at CarnegieHall with the NY Philharmonic, and other assorted goodies that fans will love.

Routinely on lot, Shakedown and tour, a few phans take it upon themselves to use the outline of the Phish logo, or a resemblance of it to create a piece of lot art – typically a shirt or sticker – and sell it for profit. This is wrong and should not be encouraged.
There are dozens of examples of this kind of ripoff of the Phish logo. We choose only to post one as a prime example of where fans go wrong in using copyrighted material. We have all seen these on the lots, sometimes they are phans, sometimes local entrepreneurs, but they all do not deserve a bit of business from phans.
Too many times in the past couple tours this has been witnessed. When PhanArt: The Art of the Fans of Phishwas first accepting images of Phish fan-art for the book, we received a handful of versions of the Phish logo, an iconic image. None were used. When fans and creators of the art asked why, we explained that the art was done using a copyrighted logo for the band, and as such, it would not be included in a book of original art made by fans.
The most important thing to keep in mind is this (via phish.net): The Phish logo is INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY! The logo is owned by Phish, and they control its commercial use. Please respect the intellectual and artistic property of the band and do not support weasel thief rip-offs. Please report such thievery to the proper individuals. The logo is included on this page for clear and apparent informational purposes, in that the purpose of this page is to discuss the use of the logo, notably, without profit.
So why shouldnt you use the Phish logo in any way, shape or form, including the the outline of the logo?
1. Because it is unoriginal to take the Phish logo and put a different word inside of it.
2. Because you are stealing someone else’s art, namely, Phish’s.
3. Because you run the risk of facing legal consequences for stealing the art.
Don’t do it. Be creative. We want you to be creative, not ripoff an existing idea.
