Portsmouth s Rock n roll illustrator Pete MacPhee

Bob Curley Newport Life The difference between being a starving artist and a working artist can be as simple as not being excessively haughty about the kind of jobs you take on. That helps explain how I came to own a piece of art by Portsmouth illustrator Pete MacPhee a T-shirt emblazoned with his logo for the annual RiverFire festival in Wakefield before ever knowing his name or his work.  It makes perfect sense that an artist nicknamed the Swamp Yankee would be both industrious and humble enough to do a design for the Wakefield Village Association for a few hundred bucks and a cut of the T-shirt sales, while also creating album covers, tour posters and other illustrated materials for bands ranging from the Dropkick Murphys and Mighty Mighty Bosstones to rock legends Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd. 

A History of Iron-On Transfers for T-Shirts

Harrison Cutler wasn’t having any of it. It was September 1966 and Cutler, who was the manager of the California State Fair, was patrolling the grounds looking for any sign of a booth peddling iron-on decals, those printed plastic slabs that can be affixed to a T-shirt simply by ironing over them. The iron-on decals being offered at the fair were, according to Cutler, too lurid for the family-friendly event, with slogans like “Photographers Are Well-Developed” proving to be a big hit. So he asked a concessions manager to round up the offending decals so that he could put his foot down with the proprietors.
