| Phelyx is also very well known for his design work, paritcularly SHOW and event posters. Currently, Phelyx holds the record for creating the most stolen (in the Denver market) event advertising posters. This record translates to some frustrations but is clear proof of the effectiveness of his design. Here are just a few SHOW posters created by Phelyx (with additional, similar illustration at right). |

"Professor Phelyx had
the same goal and came
up with label designs for
two of Slight of Hand's
wines. "Trey wanted to
pay homage to old magic
posters. I went to a local
liquor store near where I
live in Denver and looked
at dozens, probably
hundreds, of labels and
then made notes about
which wines the
customers seemed drawn
to, which wines they
picked up."
"I take my inspiration
from, yes, the '60s San
Francisco poster artists
because you almost have
to, they were so
influential, but more than
them from Alphonse
Mucha, the Art Nouveau
graphic artist." Phelyx's
designs, for Slight of
Hand's Magician's
Assistant rose and
Levitation syrah, look like
the love children of a
1901 Houdini poster and
1966 Jefferson Airplane
handbill. "Does a label
sell wine? Yes, I think
so," he says."
