Original screen-printed concert poster for Cat Power, performing at The Showbox in Seattle on March 23, with special guests M Ward and FCS North. The show was presented by The Showbox, all ages, with doors at 6pm and advance tickets priced at $12.50 via Fastixx. This is a 2006 Anniversary Edition, printed by Patent Pending Press, and features a pencil signature in the lower right margin.
The design is bold and graphic, dominated by large halftone-textured typography reading ‘cat power’ in cream/off-white against a deep black background. A white dove in flight perches atop the lettering in the upper right corner. The lower half features a striking stylised illustration of a sleeping or resting cat rendered in lavender pink halftone dots with a bold black graphic bird or arrow motif at its centre. The halftone dot printing technique is showcased beautifully in the close-up shots, revealing the tactile quality of the letterpress or screen-print process. The overall aesthetic is bold, minimalist, and highly collectable — consistent with early 2000s Pacific Northwest indie music poster design. A must-have for Cat Power fans and vintage gig poster collectors alike.
No significant damage visible. Poster appears clean and flat. There is a small nick or chip in the upper right corner of the poster stock, visible in the full overview shot. No pinholes, folds, or tape residue observed. Signature is present in pencil on the lower white margin.
