Stickers on the Mic Podcast

Jim Pollock of Pollock Prints is best known for his art for the band Phish, starting with his iconic album cover art for the band's first album Junta. Since the mid-1980s, when he met members of the band at Goddard College in rural Vermont, Jim's artistic journey has been motivated by a singular urge: to create unique pieces that evoke a spirit of discovery and that are open for interpretation. These days, fans line up for hours before shows to get a poster from that night's shows, and Jim's live art-making installations have become a defining fixture of their festival experience. Listen in as Jim discusses his evolving creative process and how he first started making concert art for Phish in their early days. His recent work centers on their Dinner And A Movie series, with a graphic that serves as the animation for each episode of the weekly live archival concert broadcast.
