10 of the Best Pollock Phish Prints

5. The Gorge 1999
This poster from the Gorge remains a fan favorite. Many color variations on the original image exist. 10 years later, Pollock nods to the original design.

6. Hampton 2003
Each night of Hampton 2003 got it’s own 20” x 20” poster. The square was a new design and many fans framed the posters as diamonds. These posters are a lot more colorful than Pollock’s earlier stuff. These posters were sold at the actual merch stand for the first time ever, resulting in fans literally climbing over each other to get one.

7. Hampton 2009
For Phish’s return to the beloved Hampton Coliseum, Pollock went all out. The design instantly became a fan favorite. 750 were made for the entire weekend, making them really hard to get but the design was printed on t-shirts also sold at the shows.

8. The Garden 2009
This print is incredibly location specific but in the Pollock tradition, surreal as well. The colorful piece is printed on three separate stocks with very nice lettering.

9. The Greek 2010
Pollock went old school with the prints for the Greek. These prints are two colors, hand-carved and pressed. Keeping with the Greek theme, these three pieces make a very nice set.

10. Columbus, OH 2000
These two shows closed out Phish’s summer 2000 tour. Due to bad rainstorms, a lot of the posters suffered some amount of damage. That being said, fans tend to love this poster.

Europe ’96, Rosemont ’95 should be on the list in my opinion…

Shoreline 2000
“It was the last print Pollock made on his bookbinding press” ... perhaps the last Phish poster created on the bookbinding press but Pollock has produced several posters since 2000 on his bookbinding press and will continue creating new prints soon on his bookbinding press. Gorge 1999
“Many color variations on the original image exist.” ... by “many” you mean 2 total prints that were never sold to the public? One bon a’ tier (red; misspelled) and one printers proof (red/orange). You also managed to infringe on my copyright by not seeking my permission to use my photograph nor provided proper credit “© Jason Kaczorowski”. Homage to art = fail

It takes a brave person to climb over a fence that smonoee has built for you to keep you in. In God may we as bloggers become more assertive and willing to jump, climb or crawl over those fences that prevent our stories and truth to go forth!
