poster – Josean Rivera

summer-tourbigcartel

I recently finished up my latest series, 15 show posters for the band Phish’s summer tour. I done posters for past shows, but only a handful (aside from my illustrated setlists for every show). I wanted a bit of a challenge, and wanted every poster to have a common theme. I also wanted to get back to drawing figures, as well as working with micron pens. Using the obvious fishing theme, I used the state fish of each venue (as well as fish found in the area for multiple shows in the same state.) Some of figures used were actual Phish fans who submitted pictures!

All the posters are available at www.phishart.com. I also have a couple “unphished” versions available in my Etsy shop.

You Should Come To This Gig…

I love music. It’s one of my biggest influence, and I can say that the majority of my artwork has been done while listening to music. After several failed attempts at playing instruments, I figured early on that making show flyers was the closest I get to the music world. Most of my friends are musicians and have gone on to be in bands, so it’s only natural that they would approach me to draw something up for them. This has led to being lucky enough to make the flyers for bands in the Harrisburg area that I enjoy listening to.
