"Without a doubt New Years Eve is the Phishiest of holidays. With all due respect to the joyful rituals of summer sheds & festivals, indoor nuttiness in cool and cold weather, Halloween & Thanksgiving runs, etc., it is NYE where the celebration of a Phish show is most in alignment with the culture at large. Party time! And NYE 2009 couldn't be more exciting. It marks a return to a favorite 2.0 site, the second 4 night run in 6 months and the conclusion of the year Phish returned to life. It's been an incredibly fun year and we look forward to wrapping it up in style in Miami."

Down with Disease - Mock Show: EPIDEMIC NYE - Hyatt Regency 400 SE Second Avenue Miami, FL 33131

2009-12-14T17:54:00.003-05:00

Q. Is the Mock Show still on?
A. Definately.

Q. Has the Mock Show switched locations?
A. Yes. We have moved to the Hyatt Regency Miami - 400 SE Second Avenue Miami, Florida 33131 inside the Jasmine & Hibiscus Rooms. The combined 7,000SQ of exhibition space is located on the Terrace Level of the hotel.

Q. Are my exisiting tickets to the previous location still good?
A. Absolutely.

Q. Why did the Mock Show decide to switch locations?
A. An investigation by county and state officials revealed that our former location, the EPIC Hotel, had installed a water filter powerful enough to remove chlorine from its city-supplied water - a move that unfortunately encouraged unbeknownst bacterial growth.

Scientists have discovered an outbreak of a rare pneumonia causing bacteria known as Legionnaire's Disease has been seemingly linked to the Epic Hotel. Samples taken from the property revealed chlorine levels were not high enough to prevent bacterial growth, according to an advisory issued to guests by the Miami-Dade County Health Department.

A large sink hole also recently formed near the Brickell Avenue bridge on Monday, December14th, forcing authorites to redirect traffic. The sink hole, in front of the Epic Hotel, is causing temporary street closures.

Mock Show is first and foremost concerned for the safety and well being of its attendees and exhibitors and acted immediately to procure a new location to assure the safety and security of our guests.

The Hyatt Regency Miami is conveniently within walking distance of the venue and will provide ample exhibition space for the Mock Show.

More information can be found on the Mock Show website.

Anecdotes/Inspiration behind the work: Well I thought about Scot Campbell's NYE poster from the Madison Square Garden reunion concert, and it had a lunar pod returning to Earth. I took it to symbolize Phish returning to everyone. I think
now that we have them back, its time for blast off.

Anecdotes/Inspiration behind the work: There seem to be mixed reviews of the tune Time Turns Elastic but I really like it. The series is a journey through time of a mythical every woman who gets the best out of life involving herself in the art, music and scene of each decade. Caught in the stylistic artistic approaches of those time periods her true nature shines through, part sea creature (water being the bearer of all things emotional and creative ie: art, music, fashion), part cosmic Alien, part human flesh. Caught on "film" as it were every 30 years (3 of course being the magic number) in the 20s, the 50s, the 80s and lastly now leading into 2010.

VOTE for your favorite posters of 2009

2009-12-01T12:39:00.002-05:00

Four concerts will not be the only attraction for Phish fans descending on Miami as 2009 draws to a close. Mock Show: EPIC NYE, a poster exhibition at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, will feature the best poster art paying homage to Phish while raising funds for the nonprofit civic engagement organization HeadCount.

In keeping with HeadCount’s mission of “inspiring participation in democracy through the power of music,” HeadCount and the Mock Show organizers are planning several activities to make the Mock Show a true celebration of democracy. The first starts now, as HeadCount.org hosts a “Mock Election” to select the best Phish-inspired poster art of 2009. Voting begins today at http://www.headcount.org/mockshow.asp and results will be announced at the Mock Show. Winners in each category will be presented the coveted “Golden Tube.”

Artists with multiple nominations – all of whom will have their wares on display at the Mock Show – include Jim Pollock (PollockPrints), A.J Masthay, Ryan Kerrigan, Isadora Bullock, and Justin Helton (Status Serigraph). Categories include “Best Official Phish Print,” “Best Fan Print,” and in a special nod to HeadCount’s mission, “Best Political Art.” HeadCount will also hold balloted voting at the event to recognize the best posters created especially for the Mock Show and Phish’s New Year’s Eve concerts.

The exhibition begins at 10am and is open until 3pm that afternoon. Tickets are on sale at http://www.amockshow.com/ and include a complimentary commemorative 2010 calendar featuring work from many of the artists featured in the exhibition.

Art, Music, Fans Connect At Red Rocks Mock Show
By: Jamie Huntsman
August 5th, 2009

Last Saturday at a hotel six miles from Red Rocks Amphitheatre, where Phish was playing for four nights, more than 30 artists and hundreds of art lovers and collectors gathered for Mock Show, a poster and art showcase-marketplace. Held in the Sheraton Denver West Hotel’s ballroom, the Mock Show was an art lovers dream that included everyone from well-established artists, such as Jim Pollock and David Welker, to up-and-comers and fan artists (such as myself). I was honored to participate and did pretty well for my first show.

Fans showed up as early as 8 a.m. to get in line to shake hands with Pollock as he personalized posters, converse with Ryan Kerrigan, or see the new works from AJ Masthay. Mock Show was all about connections: connecting fans of the music to the art inspired by the music to the artists who were inspired by the music.

The connections made at Mock Show were not limited to poster artists, however. Several nonprofit organizations participated in the show, including the Mockingbird Foundation, Expresso Beans, Phish’s Waterwheel Foundation, and of course HeadCount. Other connections were made through music (the Heavy Pets played in the hallway) and cinema (the poster documentary American Artifact was screened and Noah Wilderman was there shooting footage for his Phish documentary, Maybe So, Maybe Not.)

While running my booth, I had a unique perspective on Mock Show. I didn’t really get a chance to roam around and see everything I wanted to see (I’m a fan as well as an artist), and I was nervous as hell hoping I would get at least a little traffic to my booth. But in the end, I was overwhelmed by the support I received from the crowd and other artists at the show. A particularly warm and fuzzy moment came when, at the beginning of the show, a woman made a bee line for my booth to purchase my Red Rocks print. She said it was at the top of her list of items to purchase. This rewarding moment eased my nervousness immediately. All that hard work was worth it! And speaking of hard work, I’d like to publically thank Jason Kaczorowski for his hard work in putting this show on. It was an amazing experience for me and everyone else involved.

If you weren’t at Mock Show, you can still visit all the artists online. But, as always, the art is much better in person! Go to http://www.amockshow.com to connect with the artists and see photos and video from the show. And we’ll see you next time.

HeadCount art director Jamie Huntsman is a freelance illustrator and graphic designer. Her work, which includes poster art for festivals and bands.

Jim Pollock's Mock Show Poster Triples in Value Before Show Opens

2009-07-30T07:45:00.006-04:00

Three days before Jim Pollock's benefit posters are officially released at the Mock Show: Red Rocks, the works have already appreciated in value and begun selling on ebay for three times their original value.

The run, that was created by Pollock and printed by Fred Hosman and Jewel Noll of HoscoPress in a signed and numbered limited edition of 500, sold on the Mock Show's website on speculation of what the finished design would look like. Collectors flocked to grab these unseen posters from the inaugural art exhibition with proceeds supporting music education in Denver area through the Mockingbird Foundation. $1,000.00 has already been granted to Red Rocks Elementary and more money will impact the local Colorado community thanks to Jim Pollock's Mock Show posters and event t-shirt creations silkscreened by hand by TabootArt in Denver, CO.

Very few event posters remain and will be available while supplies last on Saturday at the PollockPrints booth.

Tickets are sold out to Mock Show: Red Rocks. We encourage you not to show up without a pre-purhased event ticket.

"Mockingbirds are the true artists of the bird kingdom. Which is to say, although they're born with a song of their own, an innate riff that happens to be one of the most versatile of all ornithological expressions, mockingbirds aren't content to merely play the hand that is dealt them. Like all artists, they are out to rearrange reality. Innovative, willful, daring, not bound by the rules to which others may blindly adhere, the mockingbird collects snatches of birdsong from this tree and that field, appropriates them, places them in new and unexpected contexts, recreates the world from the world. For example, a mockingbird in South Carolina was heard to blend the songs of thirty-two different kinds of birds into a ten-minute performance, a virtuoso display that served no practical purpose, falling, therefore, into the realm of pure art."

- Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins

Mock Show Artists Poll

2009-07-23T10:31:00.007-04:00

Mock Show Artists were asked three questions:

(1) What’s your favorite work?
(2) If you weren’t an artist what would you be?
(3) Where do you see yourself and your art going?

Here’s how some of them answered…

Isadora Bullock

1. One of my recent favorites is a lino print commemorating the Tower Jam from IT. I had wanted to put that experience into a poster format since it happened and really enjoyed trying to interpret the sound and show into one image.

2. If I weren't an artist I would be a toymaker.

3. I have a lot of ideas for new projects that exist outside of the Phish realm at the moment, but its hard not to keep making new prints when they are playing so many shows.

Tim Ripley

1. My latest work is my favorite piece at any time.

2. An architect. I've always been fascinated by architecture and building things.

3. I see myself creating paintings that are a bit more "out there". I also expect to be creating more and more block prints and screen prints in the future.

Joshua Jacobs

1. For me, my Beatles work stands out. This is work that really opened the doors for me to be more than a graphic designer for corporate america. This was the first time someone had commissioned me to do some work annd was my first real organic design project and put me on the map as an artist. I will sets of this Beatles work for sale at the Mock Show.

2. I was actually signed up to go to culinary school but switched to art school at the last minute. I look to cook.

3. I am trying to push the fine art side of my career, but love branding and marketing so much I hope to be able to continue doing shows like this while working towards being an art director.

Uncle Ebeneezer

1. Any time someone says they enjoy what we've done, that is the highest honor someone can bestow. We hold deep admiration for Jim Pollock's talent and the inspired creativity of all the artists involved.

2. If we weren't artists we'd be a just a couple of people making art. Actually, that's what we are.

3. I see ourselves and our art going to Shoreline and the Gorge after Red Rocks. And wherever this Halloween festival takes us as well. Maybe Miami for New Years. We're gonna keep on having fun and hope you do as well.

Michael Ortiz

1. I like em all.

2. If I weren't an artist what would I be... Insane!

3. I see my art going in and out of the hands of interesting people

Lindsey Kuhn

1. The poster i just finished... Because it is done!

2. If I weren't an artists I'd be an astronaut.

3. I see my art going as far as it will go.

Jonathan Lamb

1. My favorite piece I have created is our "No Anunciar!" installation. It was not only our largest installation to date, but it was at Andenken Gallery in Denver. A gallery that Like Minded has been trying to show at for several years. So it really felt like accomplishing one of our longer term goals.

2. If I wasn't an artist, I would be a ski guide.

3. I see myself and Like Minded Productions growing into the music festival scene and into underground galleries in the larger urban areas of this country.

Ryan Jerzy Red Rocks Mock Show Releases

2009-07-20T20:00:00.003-04:00

Modeled after the municipal flag of Chicago, this is Ryan Jerzy's latest release dipicting his love of linoleum block carved printmaking.

The municipal flag of Chicago consists of two blue horizontal stripes on a field of white, each stripe one-sixth the height of the full flag, and placed slightly less than one-sixth of the way from the top or bottom, respectively. Between the two blue stripes are four red, six-pointed stars arranged in a horizontal row.

The three white stripes of the flag represent, from top to bottom, the North, West and South sides of the city. The top blue stripe represents Lake Michigan and the North Branch of the Chicago River. The bottom blue stripe represents the South Branch of the Chicago River and the Great Canal.

Jerzy is currently working on this Mock Show release (above) in homage to Jim Pollock's famous Walking Fish.

She's wearing a crystal wrap by SUR. She has this summers ticket stubs with Fenway front and center. She wears a skirt of dead fish. At her feet are Mayan DMT toads. These were often depicted with canoes on their tounges representing the psychedlic trip to the underworld; these toads have cars, trucks and buses.

This is a limited edition run of 100. #'s 1-50 are gone. The first 7 were gold paper with black. The next 13 were pearlized paper with black. The last 80 are a red version on fine art paper.

Summer 09 Shirt: "Goddess"
In her hands she holds a ticket, a nugget & hotel keys. She's looking for a ticket and has a steering wheel and a crystal. Her eyes are blind but she can see through her third eye due to the tab on her tounge.

She holds the Helping Friendly Book or Book of Life in her lap and the DNA double helix is being formed by music notes going into her ears. She is assending to the next phase with the help of the disks around her head : Aliens, Pyramids, 7th Chakra, Age of Aquarius, Quetzicotal. She has contact with the road. Behind - forming out of a double spiral mandela - are fish, turning into lizards, turning into mockingbirds, who fly off to Mount Icculus.

The front is a quote by Beethoven.

These shirts come in both men and womes styles and sizes.

Completely organic, sweatshop free, printed in certified green print shop.

Mock Show Artist Spotlight: AJ Masthay

2009-04-24T11:06:00.012-04:00

Aaron J. Masthay is a printmaker best known for his elaborate hand-carved, hand-pressed linoleum block posters.

AJ, as his avid collectors refer to him, utilizes a reduction process to create his beautiful, labor intensive, multiple color prints using only one piece of linoleum. This process was first developed by Pablo Picasso who nicknamed it the "suicide method" because the block is destroyed as the print is created. For this reason, it is extremely important to plan the image carefully before beginning to print.

The first step involves cutting away the white areas of the image. Linoleum printing is essentially a form of stamp printing, so whatever is cut out of the block will not be inked. After the white areas are cut away, the first color is printed on the paper. The artist must decide how many prints there are going to be when they print the first color because they will not be able to go back and make more after this point. They roll ink on the raised surface with a tool called a brayer. The linoleum plate is then hand fed through a Vandercook Press and uneven application are smoothed onto the paper with a tool called a barren. After the artist prints the first color, they then cut out the parts of the block that they want to remain that color. This process is repeated, cutting away what stays until the print is finally the print is set to dry and become signed and numbered.

(above) AJ's favorite release came from his Coventry Series. "I'd have to say my favorite out of my past works would be my Coventry series, more specifically the night set. The feedback I got from collectors commenting on how they captured the overall concert experience really hit home for me.Now once some of this summer's stuff is released this may change..."

Masthay's last release was an homage to Phish's comeback shows at the Hampton Coliseum. He explains, "Bass Bomb II: The Fallout was made in response to the numerous requests for a second edition to the Bass Bomb I (the original 8 color linoleum block print that sold out immediately). My original intent with Hampton was to do a three print set telling a story about the bomb being dropped and the days following. Due to time constraints for the Phanart show in Troy, NY, I cut it back to one print. This was a great excuse to go back to the original idea and at least make it a set of two prints."

Masthay reflects on Phish 3.0 explaining, "I do have to say that the standard of living for summer tour have been raised a bit. Gone are the days of sleeping in the car or finding a no name motel off the highway."

As for his ideal show, he's "not a huge fan of the long drive, so it would have to be somewhere in the northeast. I'd say SPAC is my optimal venue. Not much into the "pre show antics" anymore but a few beers in the lots is always fun." Music wise he's still waiting to hear a Harpua. "1st set or 2nd set, I dont care. I'd just be ecstatic to hear it once." Favorite parking lot food? "I can remember getting this pad thai in the lots I think at the Lemonwheel that was killer. I need to find me some of that again. Those french bread pizzas always hit the spot after a show too."

Denver Poster Convention Supports Music Education

2009-04-23T22:06:00.002-04:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DENVER POSTER CONVENTION SUPPORTS MUSIC EDUCATION
Friday, April 24, 2009

Hundreds of Phish fans will be looking for sold-out tickets in Denver this August - and not just for the Phish show. MOCK SHOW: RED ROCKS - a poster exhibition in support of music education for children - is on its way to selling out. The event will feature dozens of poster artists, including Jim Pollock, David Welker, Ryan Kerrigan, Fred Hosman, Tripp, Bruce Horan, Tim Ripley, Ian Millard, Jamie Huntsman, Jon Blake, Justin Helton, Erin Cadigan, Drew Findley, Jonathan Lamb, Michael Ortiz, Joshua Jacobs, Uncle & Aunt Ebeneezer, AJ Masthay, and The Faded Line.

This isn't the first "poster convention" for Phish fans, but it's the largest and grandest yet. It will be held at a Sheraton Denver West exhibition space that features views of the Denver skyline & surrounding mountains, only 6 miles (less than 10 minutes) from Red Rocks Amphitheater. Ticket packages are available featuring a PollockPrints/Hosco Press collaboration benefit release Poster and/or T-Shirt.

The Mockingbird Foundation is pleased to assist with "Mock Show: Red Rocks" and encourages the support of Jim Pollock and other artists in the Phish community, through this and any other means. The Foundation will receive a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the event's (Pollock) poster and t-shirt sales, and will also sell poster tubes at the show; those funds will directly benefit music education for children. Your support is greatly appreciated.

The Mockingbird Foundation is the leading provider of historical information about the band Phish and its music. Since its inception in 1996, the Foundation has been operated entirely by volunteer fans of the band, without any salaries or paid staff. It fundraises for music education for children by celebrating the music of Phish through books, innovative recordings, creative donation premiums, and special events for the Phish fan community. Funds are distributed through a two-tiered application process that is one of the most competitive in the country.

The second edition of The Phish Companion (the Foundation's 928-page authoritative encyclopedia) is available from major book outlets nationwide. Its double-disc tribute album Sharin' in the Groove is available in CD format through Amazon, CDBaby.com, and Homegrown Music Network, as well as in digital format from iTunes, MSN Music, Rhapsody, Napster, BuyMusic, MusicMatch, Sony Connect, MusicIsHere, Liquid Digital Media, PassAlong, MusicNet, Puretracks, MusicNow, and LoudEye! For more information about Mockingbird, or to make a donation, please visit http://www.mbird.org/.

Phish was a rock band that started in 1983 and recently reunited for three shows in Hampton, Virginia. This will perform a summer tour that begins with a show at Fenway Park in Boston, and includes two performances at the Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival (Manchester, Tennessee), as well as eleven other shows in Massachusetts, New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, Tennessee, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Indiana and Wisconsin.

Mock Show Artist Spotlight: Justin Helton

2009-04-13T18:07:00.006-04:00

Designer and silkscreen poster artist extraordinaire Justin Helton has emerged from the south as one of the best young guns in the rock poster industry today. Raised in Knoxville, Tennessee where he still lives with his wife Mary Kate, Helton runs his own design firm Status Serigraph which he hopes to one day expand to incorporate a storefront that will include a small gallery space, an open print studio and office space to meet with clients.

Justin admits his favorite work is the posters he's done for Trey Anastasio. "The fact that I was asked to do them is the single most encouraging thing that has happened to me. In the design process, [Trey] actually gave me feedback as well. So I feel like he was as happy with them as was I. I hope at one point I have the honor of doing a poster for Trey's other band...maybe you've heard of them...Phish?"

Helton has been making posters for over 3 years and has done recent work for Trey Anastasio on his Classic TAB tour, as well as work for My Morning Jacket, Jack Johnson, Ween, Black Moth Super Rainbow, The Disco Biscuits, and many more.

Helton admits that if he wasn't an artist/designer, he would have no clue what he would be. "I've never wanted to be anything else in my life... But if I HAD to pick I would say a musician. I don't really play any instruments but dabble with electronic music and production. It’s fun and I could see it being an enjoyable career."

Justin is catching 8 shows in the first half of '09 and says his "perfect show" would at Red Rocks. "Arriving early, hanging out with old friends and new... Not selling posters on lot but in the show - Official Posters. Getting to go backstage and meeting the band. Discussing the poster design and maybe the show to come and getting them to sign it... go back out to the seats and enjoy a great show. Throw in a Tube > Carini > Maze > Frankenstein > Crosseyed > Camel Walk... and I'm all set."

Look for his summer tour posters for Pittsburgh's experimental analog electronica band Black Moth Super Rainbow, don't forget to check out his website, http://www.statusserigraph.com/ and click on the video below to see him in action printing a new poster for the North Mississippi Allstars.
