I recieved a call around March of '94 from Bruce Dauser, a printer who had called me once after seeing my posters in the Art of Rock. He then had stopped at my booth at the '63 Hall of Flowers(SF) poster show. Bruce's call was the beginning of a close friendship, working together with Chet Helms on many Family Dog posters. Bruce had gotten word that Boots Hughston was looking for a poster artist for the Helms Tribute Benefit that he was promoting. There already were several posters being done, including ones by Wes Wilson and Alton Kelley; but rock superstar Steve Miller had just signed on and they wanted a poster to have him included on the complete lineup. Stanley Mouse, who was scheduled to do a poster for that show, backed out after Bill Graham Presents offered him work for the Fillmore grand reopening. The Fillmore was going to open again after many years on the same night as the Helms show. Apparently BGP had promised Mouse to do the posters for the new Fillmore series, plus the cover of SF Chronicle's Datebook. I guess it was an offer he couldn't refuse. At any rate, it allowed an opportunity for me to get involved in the poster and, later, further into posters again. Well, as it turned out the cover of Datebook used Mouse's design, but his Fillmore poster series was a misunderstanding. My Helms poster was already under way, so Mouse eventually turned out a Tribute poster with a parody theme. It also turned out later that Steve Miller was ill and unable to attend, so it was quite a fluke that I managed to be the one chosen to do the poster, which was the only Tribute poster done with a paid budget for both printing and artwork, it was the basic advertising poster for the show, hung up all around San Francisco. The Helms poster, because of it's popularity, gave me a foothold back in the poster business, in which I had been inactive for about ten years. I imagine it was to the dismay of some of the older more established SF artists, but I paid my respects to them by hiring them all, Mouse, Kelley, Moscosso, Singer, Conklin, Tuten, Grimshaw (flaked), and others for the Maritime Hall series when I became the Art Director for the Family Dog there in '95. The computer turned out to be a fantastic method of creating rock posters, causing former ways to be referred to as "old world". At the time of the poster, It was the largest project I had worked on by computer, having only 8 MB of RAM and the primitive Operating System 6. Needless to say, I had many late night crashes and hours of locking up. Late On the last night I accidentally trashed the sails with the band names on them! I was devastated and shaky, called Bruce at 3 AM to tell him I had failed. Bruce told me to just go to bed, that I could recover the next day, and he'd push the printing date back a day. The following day for 16 hours, my wife helped me redraw all the names and sails. During the connection of the sails to the ship's hull which were on two separate files, it failed repeatedly after 6 hours of trying, so I reduced the page and filesize (133 dpi) and it finally worked. We made it to press time and on time for posting to advertise. -- Jim Phillips Artist: Jim Phillips Venue: Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Promoter: Family Dog Presents Items: Original poster MAR-MAR-EX Edition 1 / CP014508 / MARM314 Performers: 1994-04-30: Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Maritime Hall Chet Helms / Steve Miller Blues Band / Creedence Clearwater Revival / Gregg Allman Band / Big Brother and the Holding Company / New Riders of the Purple Sage / Dan Hicks / Lee Michaels / Country Joe Mcdonald / Chris Solberg / Squid Vicious / Peter Tork / Terry Dolan / Wavy Gravy / Ken Kesey / Peter Coyote / Lenny Williams / Bill Ham / Barry Melton / Dinosaurs / Starship / Nick Gravenites / Quicksilver Messenger Service / John Mcfee / Boobie Brothers / Darby Slick / Doug Sahm / Sir Douglas Quintet / Boots Hughston / Harvey Mandel / Mitchell Holman / Howard Wales / Sky Sunlight / Saxon / Jerry Miller / Peter Lewis / Caribbean All Stars / Lee Michaels ------------------------------ MAR-MAR-EX 1994-04-30 P-1 --------- 1994-04-30 / MAR MAR-EX CP005657 / CP00906 Chet Helms, Steve Miller Blues Band at Maritime Hall - San Francisco, CA Notes: 3-color silkscreen, signed and numbered edition of 215, printed by Ghetto Press Private Notes: FD Maritime Hall Benefit: Tribute to Chet Helms Event: Tribute To Chet Helms at Maritime Hall Artist: Gary Grimshaw Venue: Maritime Hall Promoter: Family Dog Presents Items: Original poster MAR-MAR-EX Edition 1 / CP005657 / CP00906 (13 x 19) Price: 50.00 Original poster MAR-MAR-EX Edition 1 / CP014550 / MARM358 Original poster MAR-MAR-EX Edition 1 / CP005657 / CP00906 (13 x 19) Performers: 1994-04-30: Maritime Hall Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Chet Helms / Steve Miller Blues Band / Stu Cook / Gregg Allman Band / Big Brother and the Holding Company / New Riders of the Purple Sage / Squid Vicious / Peter Tork / Country Joe Mcdonald / Harvey Mandel / Dan Hicks / Barry Melton / Dinosaurs / Peter Kaukonen / Terry Dolan / Boots Hughston / Nick Gravenites / Greg Elmore / John Mcfee / Keith Knudsen / Jerry Miller / Mitchell Holman / Howard Wales / Darby Slick / Caribbean All Stars / Wavy Gravy / Ken Kesey / Peter Coyote / Lenny Williams / New Riders of the Purple Sage / Lee Michaels ------------------------------ FD-FDNew 1995-07-00 P-1 --------- 1995-07-00 / FD FDNew CP004494 / CD05733 Family Dog at Family Dog at Maritime Hall - San Francisco, CA Notes: Family Dog Thirtieth Anniversary.

He told me he wanted Popeye on the poster. At first I rejected the concept, arguing that Popeye is owned by King Features Syndicate, one of the largest comics agencies, and that these characters are jealously guarded by their attorneys. But he insisted, citing the Tribute to Dr.Strange poster (Family Dog), Captain Marvel (Kesey) and other traditional psychedelic usage of established images. Personally, my own artistic path was littered with such usage. So I began to think how I could accommodate Boots wishes. I was indebted to boots at that time for choosing me to do the Grand Opening of the Family Dog at Maritime Hall. Then I got an idea. I imagined Popeye as the indian in the Family Dog logo, sticking out of the logo with the Indian's hat and pipe, and the long hair of indian and hippy. I thought it would be cool. I made a pencil sketch of it, and showed it to Boots. He liked it and I went ahead with the artwork. We eventually came to the conclusion that it wasn't popeye after all, but his hippy brother, Deadeye! Note: The FD grand opening poster was published prior to #60 & 61, despite show dates. -- Jim Phillips This item appears in the book 'The Art of Modern Rock' as AMR # 290 Private Notes: FD Maritime Hall Benefit: MH-01 Artist: Jim Phillips Venue: Maritime Hall Promoter: Family Dog Presents Items: Original poster MAR-MAR-001 / CP004440 / CD05611 (14-1/2 x 20) Original poster MAR-MAR-001 Edition 1 / CP007421 / CP02665 (14-1/2 x 20) Performers: 1995-10-27: Maritime Hall Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Gregg Allman Band / Zero / Iron Butterfly ------------------------------ MAR-MAR-002 1995-11-18 P-1 --------- 1995-11-18 / MAR MAR-002 CP007422 / CP02666 Jefferson Cybership, Jefferson Airplane at Family Dog at Maritime Hall - San Francisco, CA Private Notes: FD Maritime Hall Signed Benefit: MH-02 Event: 1st Ever Internet Concert Artist: HTS Venue: Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Promoter: Family Dog Presents Items: Original poster MAR-MAR-002 Edition 1 / CP007422 / CP02666 (14 x 19) Performers: 1995-11-18: Set: Family Dog at Maritime Hall Jefferson Cybership / Jefferson Airplane / Paul Kantner / Marty Balin / Jack Cassidy / Jefferson Starship / Prarie Prince / Slick Aguilar / Gary Cambra / Diana Mangano / Darby Gould / Trey Sabatelli / Tommy Castro Band / Undercover S.K.A.
