A striking limited-edition screen-printed concert poster for Joel R.L. Phelps & The Downer Trio, billed alongside Rock Band 22. The poster promotes two Pacific Northwest shows: Thursday 27 April at Sunset Tavern, Seattle WA, and Friday 28 April at The Tonic Lounge, Portland OR. No year is printed, but the venue URLs and design aesthetic suggest a mid-2000s origin. The artwork features an bold abstract composition of overlapping geometric colour blocks in red, dark brown, silver-grey, and near-black, overlaid with a macro photographic image of water droplets or bubbles rendered in multi-layer screen print. The hand-drawn, hand-lettered typography has a raw, DIY quality consistent with the indie/alt-country underground poster tradition of the Pacific Northwest. The poster is numbered and signed in pencil in the lower right corner, reading 205/220, indicating a limited edition of 220 prints. The surface texture and ink layering visible in the close-up shots confirm high-quality screen-printing on off-white heavy stock. This is a collectible piece for fans of Joel R.L. Phelps, the Downer Trio, or Pacific Northwest indie music ephemera. Joel R.L. Phelps is known for his work with Silkworm and his atmospheric solo and band recordings.
No visible folds, tears, or foxing apparent from the photos. Poster appears to be in excellent condition. Hanging clips visible in overview shot are not part of the poster. Close-up shots reveal clean ink and paper surface with no visible damage.
