View The new Masthaystudios print archive here Duo Tour Triptych & Intimate Performance Greetings from Masthay Studios! Two new pieces being released this week, my artist edition copies from the Bobby & Phil Duo Tour and a fine art giclee titled "An Intimate Performance". Both will be available this Wednesday, March 14th at 12 noon EST through Bottleneckgallery.com but the details for each are a little different.



It was an absolute honor to be asked to create the official triptych set of prints for the recent 3 stop tour of legends Bob Weir and Phil Lesh, what I informally call "The Original Space Cowboys". With the beautiful venues they chose for this tour, I felt it necessary to emulate the beautiful ornate style of the venues in these prints, almost over the top with embellishment. They are also meant to be a celebration of spring (as we expect another snowstorm here in CT) with an abundance of roses, magnolias and a softer, almost pastel color scheme.



Each panel is a 100% hand carved 9 color linoleum reduction print on Cranes Lettra cotton rag paper stock. Each panel will be signed, numbered, individually embellished and embossed, cost iOS $100 per panel ($300 per set). Due to the demand for these editions we will be selling the via a lottery system. At 12 noon EST a link to purchase will become active at bottleneck gallery.com. This link will remain live for one hour. By going through the purchase option you are entering yourself in the lottery, you will not be changed unless your name is selected. All willing entries will be notified shortly after the lottery closes. There are no variants.

We will also be releasing a very special piece for me, titled "An Intimate Performance". So I'd say Ive been to my fair share of concerts and in turn a wide variety of venues. It's rare that a building can hit me so hard that it compels me to put pencil to paper, but that is exactly what the Sanders Theatre in Cambridge did to me a few weeks ago. That space, and the evenings performance, were pure magic - so warm, so intimate, so very special. I believe anyone in attendance would agree. These will be available via a normal online sale, not a lottery, this Wednesday at 12 noon EST through bottleneck gallery.com. Fine art giclee print, edition size is 150, 12"x16", signed numbered and embossed with hand torn edges, cost is $75 per print.



Thanks as always, 2018 is already turning out to be an amazing year! Much more on the way, Phil Lesh Birthday run, a new piece for the Jerry Garcia estate, lots of Dead & Company, Twiddle and much more!
