Jim Pollock: "that Phish poster guy"

He is mostly known as the Phish concert poster designer. He started hanging with the band in the early 80's, doing ink drawn flyers to promote their shows. As they grew larger and gained a larger following, Pollock began experimenting and creating linoleum prints using a nineteenth century hand-press made from iron and wood. Then, in the 90's when Phish began releasing their 'Live Phish' compact disc sets, he created a series of woodcuts for the album covers, each unique to the show. He also has a collection of t-shirts made for the band. All of his original prints are considered treasures for the Phish fans and you can still find them available in various places. I have always really enjoyed his playful, whimsical, sometimes satirically dark, prints and thought I would share some of his work with you.
