AJ Masthay MSG Rapture 4-part poster

Leave a comment
MSG RAPTURE

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.

Maria DiChiappari’s NYE Poster, a new artist on the PhanArt Blog

5 Comments

Maria is a Boston native now residing in the foothills of Boulder, Colorado. She is a passionate artist interested in all forms of art. Currently her main concentration is in graphic design, specializing in Photoshop and Illustrator. Maria also enjoys pen and ink drawing as well as painting with acrylic and oil on canvas. The greatest inspirations to her work are music, nature, relationships, culture, dreams, spirituality, and love.

Since Phish has gotten back together, Maria has been spending as much time as possible catching their shows and creating poster art for the shows she attends. You can usually find Maria selling posters outside the venue, before and after the show. It’s such a great way to meet people and share her art and love of Phish with other fans.

Maria DiChiappari’s debut poster for PHISH at Madison Square Garden in NYC on New Years Eve 2010 is printed on 11″x17″ card stock and created in a limited edition of only 100 prints. Each poster is signed and numbered by the artist.

PhanArt’s Best of 2010

Leave a comment

2010 has been an amazing year for PhanArt on the lot and on the web. More and more art is being made by a larger number of fans, due to Phish’s return to full touring, more fans looking to share their creativity and the influence of the band in their lives, as well as a way to make it from show A to show B.

While we do not favor any art on the blog above any other art, this is the time of year when we share the Top fan creations of 2010 based on comments, reaction from phans at shows and online, as well as the creativity the artist put into the work. All PhanArt made in the last year has been amazing, and we think the following are some of the best.

This year we have 11, since we are ready to say hello to 2011

#10 Deer Creek Friday the 13th by lotlifestyle.com

These posters were seen briefly online before a last-minute trip out to Deer Creek, and we spotted them after night 1. We picked up a couple for ourselves and the good folks at lotlifestyle.com got in touch with us. Friday the 13th doesnt happen on tour very often so this creative effort is worth noting for its rarity and simplicity

#9 Isadora Bullock Deer Creek

This deer haunts our dreams. Now it haunts yours. Merry Phishmas!

#8 Ryan Kerrigan Broomfield

Brooms in a field. Simple and done well. Classic Kerrigan.

#7 Hartford Whalers/Wilson shirt

Combine the greatest defunct hockey team with Phish and you get this shirt. The weird thing: we never found out who was selling these on tour this summer. If you know who sold them, get them in touch with us!

#6 Bruce Horan’s SPAM SPAC

A street art feel and a play on words leads to a simple print that is anything but simple. Horan’s dedication to the craft is seen in the level of detail in this print.

#5 Eric Weber’s ‘Phreedom’

A great font + the most iconic of NYC images + Phish = Phreedom. An amazing senior project and entry into the world of PhanArt

#4 Brother shirt by UnoClay

Available ONLY on lot, UnoClay went all Nintendoo on us, coming up with a unique shirt (the back has the ? block and says ‘somebody’) that has detail worked into it. For fall he one upped himself – Birds of a Feather and Duck Hunt. Just when you thought shirt ideas were limited to corporate logos, along come games. Who’s making Call of Duty/Kill Devil Falls?

#3 AJ Masthay MSG

Not just one but THREE posters all sharing part of an aquarium. The first poster – the 30th comes on fierce as usual; the second – the 31st shows the ball dropping; the third – the 1st, is serene, as we will all be in recovery mode and asked to dance one more time to start the new year and decade.


#2 Lizzy Layne’s Fuck Your Face

A picture is worth a thousand words. Lizzy’s Holiday Run print has 3 words, so 3 x 1000 = 3000 words. Therefore, this poster is worth 3000 words AND tells you what to do with your face. Appropriate for work, home or the RV heading to the show.

and the #1 piece of PhanArt in 2010 is…………………..

#1 Vinny Naro’s Halloween Poster

Drawing by hand is one thing. Nearly everyone can do that. Drawing in pen and ink in extreme detail, and using nothing else in the process is painstakingly hard and takes a level of commitment that is rarely seen anywhere. Vinny Naro’s Atlantic City print is remarkable in its detail – the three clocks show 10:29, 10:30 and 10:31, respectively. The pipe organ is drawn to resemble the original that is housed in Boardwalk Hall (but in need of repairs, hence not being used that weekend). Satan is playing the pipe organ with his own devilish tune, and the designs throughout exhibit precision towards each facet of his work. Referring to this as a work of art is an understatement. We got this framed right after the shows.

Curt Holzer’s ‘Phirst of the Year’

1 Comment

Newcomer Curt Holzer’s NYE print this year builds off his futuristic animated style from Miami 2009. This print measures 38″x13″ and is in an edition of 100 signed and numbered prints. Each print costs $30 with $5 shipping while each additional poster costs $10 extra.

The piece is a digital illustration of NYC as seen through Curt’s eyes with yet another “Big Ass Fish” for a focal point.  Subway cars, Brooklyn Bridge, Empire State Building, MSG, Times Square, Chrysler Building, and The Statue of Liberty can all be found within the borders.  A few song references can be found on kiosks, in space, and there is a familiar red haired man on the jumbotron in Times Square.  All art comes from Curt’s sketchbook renderings of ideas he had after his first visit to NYC a little over two months ago. The finishing digital touches and the hours he has put into this project have been countless, and for Curt, the reward is priceless, and he hopes the Phans simply enjoy!

Created in an art deco style, the viewer travels from the woods of Worcester to the big city of NYC chased by the rising planet Mars.

Printed by The Half and Half of South Carolina, it is a 4 color silkscreened print in Metallic gold, Florescent pink, lime green and Black. Printed on Cougar white 100lb paper in a run of 100 signed and numbered. The print is 16″x21″ in size. In size , style and work put, Erin thinks this may be my best one yet! though She’s also super partial to UFOs and NYC! This poster costs $30 and the first 30 to order get a BBFCFM surprise as well! Shipping will be immediately following the New Years Run unless you arrange a pick up at the shows.

Lizzy Layne’s Fuck Your Face

2 Comments

The origin of the poster, from Lizzy Layne: This poster started with me wanting to do a poster for MSG and when thinking of concepts. I have been really inspired by typography-heavy design lately. The term “Fuck your Face“, along with the song that has been brought out of the vault lately seemed like a perfect fit for this style poster. In the end, I decided it is a broad enough concept that it doesn’t necessarily need to be a poster that is specific to New Year’s, but can just be a solid piece of PhanArt.

The poster is a 15 x 22″ 3 color silkscreen and costs $30 plus $10 for packaging and shipping fees.
