Our Planet Is A Blue Planet 2008 UK Tour Screenprint Gig Poster

70.00

A striking limited-edition screenprint poster for ‘Our Planet Is A Blue Planet’, a 2008 UK live event tour. The poster lists six dates across England and Wales in April 2008: Wembley Arena (London), St. David’s Hall (Cardiff), Nottingham Arena, Manchester Central, and Symphony Hall (Birmingham). The design features a beautifully illustrated blue whale diving through teal and aqua gradient waters, rendered in a bold hand-drawn illustrative style with expressive linework on the throat pleats and flukes. The hand-lettered typography complements the naturalistic illustration, giving the piece a warm, artisanal quality consistent with the golden era of indie screenprint poster art. Published by The Bird Machine (Bird Zoo) in 2008, this is a numbered limited edition — the bottom right corner shows it is numbered 261/170 (sic) and bears what appears to be a hand-signature. The poster is likely associated with a BBC natural history live event tied to the Blue Planet brand. It represents a highly collectible crossover between natural history broadcasting culture and the contemporary gig poster movement of the late 2000s.

No visible folds, tears, or foxing apparent from the photos. The poster appears to be in excellent condition. Minor ink texture visible in close-up shots is consistent with the screenprint process, not damage.
