 Matt Huynh's first venture into the gigposter world has been more than he ever expected. Everyone loved his first poster for the Phish show last night. Matt has done some artwork for Phish's Deluxe Joy box in the past but this is his and also first silk screen print.

It’s a special one and Matt really pushed what he could do with three colors. Matt worked alongside the incredibly talented team at NYC’s Axelle Fine Arts, who print for fine artists as well as a notable early influence on his comics work, Paul Pope. Axelle Fine Arts is the premier printer in New York and easily the whole country.

The poster is 18 x 24 “, printed on a 100% cotton Coventry fine art rag, and hand numbered and signed. The above is the final artwork, complete with “typos”.

Tonight's Phish Poster from Charlotte by Matt Huynh

Phish have another new artist to the Phish Poster scene tonight with Australian born illustrator Matt Huynh. The poster is 18x24 with an edition of 650. 

MATT HUYNH is an Australian born, New York based illustrator and comic creator. Huynh began self-publishing to put more of the kind of comics that he wanted to read and see on the shelves. Matt’s visual narratives aim to share stories from overlooked worlds, whether reporting claw machine subculture for Performance Space Carriageworks, Chekovian steampunk adventures for Seymour Centre, or the history of mathematics for Powerhouse Museum Publishing. Creative Sydney Festival named him one of the most innovative contributors to Sydney’s culture for his documentary graphic novel CAB, depicting true stories from his childhood suburban Sydney migrant community.
