An original screen-printed concert poster for The Shins promoting their show at The Showbox in Seattle on February 1, starting at 7pm, all ages. Supporting acts listed are All Night Radio and The Vells. The event was presented by The Showbox and Sealed with a Kiss. Designed by Jesse LaDoux — credited on the poster’s right margin as ‘Design By Jesse LaDoux (Patent Pending)’ — this striking piece showcases LaDoux’s signature bold, organic typographic style. The band name fills the composition in large interlocking bubble letterforms rendered in deep teal-blue, layered over a vivid yellow concentric-circle repeat pattern and pastel pink cloud shapes, with light blue fill areas creating depth. Smaller text blocks are set in rounded retro-pixel lettering. The colour palette of cobalt blue, neon yellow, pale pink and mint gives the poster a distinctive 2000s indie-psychedelic aesthetic. The poster is hand-signed in pencil in the lower right corner. This is a desirable piece of Pacific Northwest concert poster art from the early-career era of The Fray, a sought-after item for fans of the band and collectors of Jesse LaDoux’s graphic work.
No visible folds, tears, or foxing evident from the photos. Poster appears to be in excellent condition. Pencil signature present in lower right. No pinholes, tape residue, or fading observed.
