The Phish Hampton reunion has come and gone, leaving a trail of Phish posters in its wake including some amazing fan art, and some great official prints.
Jim Pollock Official Print
First up, a hand-pressed Pollock Hampton poster commemorating all 3 nights. It's a three-colsor block print in an edition of 750, with Pollock's more traditional oil-based inks.
These ink go on thick, often featuring thumbprints on front, and ink from the previous poster on the back.
The posters were in incredibly high demand as evidenced by the immediate sell-out and crushing poster line in the venue on Friday and pre-show sell-out on Saturday.
If you want one of these, you'll probably have to pick it up on eBay or make a trade on EB.
Andy Cruz & Allen Mercer for House Industries Official Print (x3)
Next up are Andy Cruz & Allen Mercer with a set of three official Phish Hampton posters. There are 950 of each huge 24" x 37" print featuring the same image in different colorways.
These are 6 color Serigraphs on 220gsm archival recycled paper, hand embossed and hand-numbered. Like the Pollock, you can search on eBay or set up a trade.
NOTE: My sincere apologies to Andy Cruz & Allen Mercer from House Industries who are the actual artists for this print. I originally and mistakenly credited Daniel Lahoda as the artist of the print when in fact the poster was simply printed at Lahoda Fine Arts in Los Angeles, CA. My bad.
Phish Hampton Fan Art
Finally, we got a growing gallery of Hampton fan art posters. I'm sure you'll be seeing some of them on lot — but others will likely be much harder to come by.

Tickets
Sorry to tell ya, but BPC III is SOLD OUT!

Daniel Lahoda DBA Jet Set Graffiti will take your money and never send the art. It’s happened to me and several other people if you research his name on the web. Avoid dealing with this scammer unless you want to get ripped off.
Editor’s Note: I did a bit research and best I can tell everyone involved in the situation alluded to above got their prints and COAs and whatever eventually, though there was certainly some lack of communication about it. If Daniel would care to respond I’d be more than happy to post his words.
