Up now is Jim Pollock’s “Clown Fish” Purple Edition, a wonderfully strange and cheerful limited-edition screen print released in 2024 through Bottleneck Gallery.
This colorful little aquatic oddball features Pollock’s wonderfully eccentric Clown Fish dressed in blue pants, a polka-dot shirt, decorative collar, and jaunty flowered cap. It looks less like something swimming through a coral reef and more like the mayor of a tiny underwater village where zoning laws are optional.
The Purple Edition was produced as a signed and hand-numbered edition of only 250 prints. This example is #99/250, with Pollock’s handwritten edition number in the lower-left margin and his signature in the lower-right margin. The print measures 8" x 10" and was released alongside Pollock’s matching Clown Fish resin statues. Bottleneck Gallery originally offered this purple colorway for $65.
The rich purple, blue, turquoise, and green inks give this edition an especially vivid, playful appearance. It is a compact Pollock print with plenty of personality, ideal for a smaller wall, gallery grouping, desktop display, or the collection of anyone who appreciates Phish-adjacent art, designer toys, strange fish, or well-dressed sea creatures.
Condition: New/Mint. The print appears exceptionally clean, with sharp corners, straight edges, bright color, and no visible creases, dents, stains, handling marks, or other condition issues. It has been stored flat and carefully handled since acquisition.
Provenance: Acquired from the original Bottleneck Gallery release.

About the Artist: Jim Pollock is one of the most beloved artists in the modern concert-poster and collectible-art world. Best known for his decades-long association with Phish, Pollock has developed an unmistakable visual language filled with hand-drawn characters, strange animals, folkloric humor, and the occasional creature that appears to have eaten something questionable backstage. His fish characters have become recurring collector favorites, and “Clown Fish” translates that wonderfully weird sensibility into a bright, compact art edition.
About the Project: Bottleneck Gallery released “Clown Fish” in February 2024 as a coordinated collection of resin statues and matching screen prints. The regular and variant statues transformed Pollock’s character into three dimensions, while the Orange and Purple screen prints preserved the original illustration in two distinct colorways. Both prints were produced in signed and numbered editions of 250, with the Purple Edition carrying the higher original retail price of $65.
