Phil Ochs with friend and fellow musician Erik Jacobsen, 1970s

I took these from Erik Jacobsen's website, who was a member of The Knoblick Upper 10,000. He recalls some anectodes that involved him/his musician friends (like Cass Elliot, Tim Hardin, John Sebastian). He talks about Phil too:

are there any other known drawings of Phil done during his lifetime?? I haven’t found much in my searching, just the obvious few (like the gunfight at carnegie hall cover) maybe I’m not looking hard enough 😅

Hi! Sadly I can't think of many right now, only a couple. I'll try to go through my Phil stuff more closely tomorrow or whenever I have time to see if I happen to have more. But for now I can share these:

60s anti-folk pamphlet (sorry for the terrible quality), that is "geared towards tearing down the reputation of Columbia Records, as well as that of Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and Malvina Reynolds." I think the kneeling guy is supposed to be Phil

This 1974 concert poster

Ad for a benefit he did in 1969

16 Magazine Sing Along ad. Saw this one on one of Tori's accounts, they said they think the person between Cher and Leonard Nimoy is probably Phil, and I agree. He may not look like a teen idol, but he did appear in that magazine once or twice

And this last piece was published not during Phil's lifetime, but shortly after, in October issue of Esquire Magazine
