From Seth, a preview of The Olney Place and Keuka Lake…

“Keuka lake has a unique shape that has inspired many an artist. “Oddly enough we live in Yates County and the lake is shaped like the letter “Y”…its a very magical place. It’s so beautiful…on that weekend, it will be awe inspiring.I really hope the Phish scene has a chance to explore this place…we will def help them. It’s a small adventure just getting from Watkins to here. Back roads, along water, laced with wineries and vineyards.”

CrazyRedBeard SuperBallIX Poster and Pin

1 Comment

CrazyRedBeard, nee Jon Blake has created his 2nd ever Phish print. Known for his live painting at shows of all shapes and sizes, Jon is doing a run of 99 posters for SuperBall IX. At the bottom says Watkins Glen twisted up in the design. There is a magic lamp which corresponds with the announcement video, a number of Egyptian hieroglyphs scattered throughout (think the Eye of Horus). Blake also wanted to incorporate a number of spiritual icons: the cross, the Om symbol, a very hidden but present hamsa, there’s a snake charmer’s cobra, seven chakras and their corresponding colors, a Mayan glass skull, alien fluid consciousness, native Indian feathers in a swirling dream crescent of awareness, mummies, the Grim Reaper and much more. The 2 final golden orbs collude with the 7 chakras to equal 9 total balls.

Handbill prints are 5 x 11 : $20 includes shipping; Large prints are 10 x 22 : $60 with shipping

Pins are $35 including shipping

Both prints and pins will be available ON LOT at Alphraretta, Charlotte, Raleigh and Portsmouth

Hug Japan charity pins for relief efforts from CrazyRedBeard

Leave a comment

From Jon Blake, aka CrazyRedBeard:

Hi guys…we here at CRB Productions have been profoundly impacted by the recent events in Japan. We like to believe that we think globally and act locally, giving where we can and working in fields where we believe we can be of use. But in this case, we wanted to create something that could offer some small token of our humanity and love to those that have been affected by the heart wrenching happenings in the east.

With this in mind, we give you the CRB Hug Japan relief effort pin.

 

The red circle represents the emblematic dot of color in the Japanese flag…we’re only making 100 for now and all proceeds after recouping costs will go to aid relief efforts in Japan. If there is a certain organization you’d like your donation to go to, please let me know. I was thinking of splitting it between Doctors Without Borders, the Red Cross and Global Giving.

Pins are going to production now: I am asking $15 per pin and $5 for shipping. If you get more than one pin, you only pay the $5 shipping once.

Just so you know, there is no white border around the character hugging the red dot. Just the little fella and the flag logo. :)

Back on the Train Pins from CrazyRedBeard and Central Part of Town Pins

Leave a comment

From Jon Blake, aka CrazyRedBeard and Central Part of Town Pins:

Back on the Train 1111 pin

The story behind the design:

Originally, I had painted three separate paintings to commemorate Phish’s triumphant return to Hampton. For the second night, I chose to work out a large train to tie in with the opening song, one of my favorites and thematic of what I thought the whole weekend was about for myself and a lot of others: Back on the Train. The painting looked like this

When Phish announced the holiday run, Central Part of Town Pins and I immediately thought the train would work and have multiple meanings for this particular occasion. Penn Station runs, of course, beneath MSG and the grill of the train, when viewed upside down, actually kind of look like MSG. This was unintentional…purely serendipitous.

Original art work from Hampton 3/7/09

We changed the original number of the train (3079) to “1111” to coincide with the first ever Phish show on a new year’s day. We intended for a little symbolism…the idea of the past and future occurring simultaneously…how time is indeed not linear. It kind of blew our minds when the Meatstick thing happened on NYE. I mean….really. Shocks my brain. The other thing that blew my mind was that, at Big Cypress, I’d had some mescalin and hallucinated that the Trey and Mike were walking into the shadows and then emerging in different time period clothing. For example, they were first sporting their own clothes, then they’d step into the darkness and emerge wearing what seemed to be Colonial wear or some other type of uniform. Then they’d step into the shadows again and come out with something else on. It was one of the most vivid “hallucinations” I’ve ever had. I remember thinking they were flipping through time, whether in reality or on some other level (pneumatic?). Needless to say, it did indeed shock my brain…I can’t overuse that phrase enough.

The next day, retelling that to a friend, someone stopped and said, “Dude…I had that EXACT SAME HALLUCINATION.”

So anyway…Back on the Train...always reminded me of Back to the Future and well….we all know about that. So I hope that makes sense….our intention was to point to the presence of the now, the then and the future. And when I saw those costumed dancers on stage, I knew, again, that the world is one mysterious place and that Phish are pretty much shamans or at least our collective intentions of positivity and progression in some way. It might sound crazy, but there it is.

The third eye headlight gives a nod to the Grateful Dead.

CrazyRedBeard, aka Jon Blake – Live Painting PhanArtist

3 Comments

Jonathon Blake, also known by his stage name CrazyRedBeard, is an independent artist that currently resides in Charlottesville, Virginia. Largely self taught, Blake primarily creates paintings in live music settings to many different types of bands up and down the east coast and beyond. Inspired by watching the New Orleans live painter, Frenchy while attending Particle’s late night set at Bonnaroo 2, Blake went home with a vision of attempting this style of creation in his own unique fashion.

Check out the art Jon Blake has for sale as prints, posters or the original piece of art itself!

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.
