Poster artist designed this original pacific northwest poster featuring the garage rock antics of Girl Trouble at the Blue Gallery in Portland & the W.O.W. Hall in Eugene Oregon during August of 1990. Historically important bands like this are a crucial ingredient but it’s the insanely great art that appears on these pacific northwest posters that make the Ultrasound Collection so irresistible. Like the most popular artworks by Andy Warhol poster artist Mike King produced super smart work that brilliantly referenced Popular Culture. The FIRST CGC graded example of this issue to ever appear in a public auction!
