"FIRST TUBE" PRINT SHOW PREVIEWS

(Below, "Jones Beach 2012" by AJ Masthay, © 2012 Masthay Studios. This print is a six color linoleum block print, size 14″ x 23.5″, in a signed and numbered edition of 200, printed on Canson Edition Antique White paper stock, available in several variations, including a watercolor and silver overprint edition. More information on the artist's website here)

For the next few weeks, we're going to change up the .net front page images of past concert photo images with some previews of featured poster art from the Mothership Art Collective's upcoming First Tube poster show. The show will be held on Saturday, June 16th from 10 am - 3 pm at the Trump Plaza Hotel, Westminster Room, on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City before Phish's show that day at Bader Field.

Artists showing include AJ Masthay, Ryan Kerrigan, Tripp, Erin Cadigan, Rick Hersh, Dave Calarco (author of "Mr. Minor's" Phish book who will be selling and authographing his book), Brendan Otto, Noah Phence and others selling posters and pins. Special pieces available from these artists and PhanArt to benefit the Phish fan charity, The Mockingbird Foundation, an all volunteer charity which sponsors music education programs for underserved children, operates this website and is the author of The Phish Companion books.

Admission to the show is FREE, and there are no reservations or advance ticketing required. Further information is available on the Mothership Art Collective's Facebook page here.

forbins0218 I really am not understanding why Phish will not get AJ to do an official show poster, or maybe AJ likes not doing the official. Either way, I am ordering the Saratoga prints!

I've wondered the same thing. AJ just keeps getting better every time I check them out. I had to grab SPAC too. I'm just wondering if the variations will continue going forward (too many choices with his work now-treatment or not, water color...).
Anyone got a Super Ball set they are willing to let go for a reasonable price?

if AJ does a print, the cost rises for all of us. i love AJ and his work, and he has done official prints for Panic and Umphreys, but Phish doesnt turn the corner to the Phan artists. one day maybe, but im ok with AJ making fan prints that are amazing and affordable

of course, AJ deserves the honor, but the way they pick artists for the show prints, i dont see it happening. but i wouldnt mind being wrong here
