____________
Jim Pollock is a prolific American artist best known for his distinctive and intricate linoleum block prints, particularly those created for the band Phish. A graduate of Goddard College in Plainfield, Vermont, Pollock began creating posters for local bands in the 1980s, eventually becoming a cornerstone of Phish's visual identity. His work is instantly recognizable for its dense, detailed imagery, often featuring surreal landscapes populated by whimsical, dancing skeletons, fish, and various mythic creatures. These vibrant, narrative-driven prints capture the improvisational and communal spirit of live music events.
Pollock’s process is laborious and highly traditional. He carves his elaborate designs into linoleum blocks, a technique that requires precision and a clear vision as the image is reversed during printing. Each color in a multi-color print often requires a separate block, which he meticulously layers. The resulting prints, frequently hand-signed and numbered, are produced in limited runs, making them highly coveted items among collectors.
Beyond his association with Phish, Pollock has applied his unique aesthetic to a variety of other projects, including album covers, festival merchandise, and work for other musical acts like moe. and String Cheese Incident. His art has a universal appeal, blending elements of folk art, psychedelic graphic design, and a touch of the macabre. He remains a beloved figure in the live music poster world, influencing a generation of graphic artists with his dedication to craft and his vibrant, imaginative style. His legacy is defined by a deep connection between art and music culture.
