A striking limited-edition screen print concert poster created by Chicago-based design studio The Bird Machine, produced for an event titled ‘Our Planet Is A Blue Planet’ held at Nottingham Arena on 19th April 2008. The poster features a boldly graphic illustration of a huddle of penguins resting on ice, rendered in a minimalist palette of pale blue, dark grey, white, and vivid orange against a soft pink sky. The hand-lettered typography in the upper section carries the event title and venue details in a charming, casual style consistent with the gig poster aesthetic of the era. The print displays the characteristic texture and slight ink variation of screen printing, particularly visible in the shadow beneath the foreground penguin and the feathering of the dark inks. This is a numbered limited edition, stamped 269/350 in pencil in the lower right margin alongside the artist’s signature. The copyright notice within the print reads ‘©2008 The Bird Machine (dot com) Chicago’. A collectable piece for fans of early 2000s environmental-themed event art and admirers of The Bird Machine’s distinctive illustrative style. The poster has been displayed using binder clips, suggesting it has been exhibited.
Two small binder clip marks visible at the top edge from display hanging. No visible folds, tears, foxing, or tape residue apparent from the photos.
