Description:

This collectible phone card commemorates the 1995 Blues Music Festival and serves as a vibrant, artistic tribute to the spirit of blues. Its whimsical design captures the genre’s essence with a unique flair. Dominating the left side of the card is a striking illustration of a cat, rendered in cool shades of blue and purple. This feline musician is more than an ordinary cat; it embodies coolness and musical artistry, complete with dark sunglasses that accentuate its laid-back, jazzy persona. The cat is depicted mid-performance, gripping the neck of an electric guitar with soulful intensity—evoking the emotion and storytelling that define blues music.

The background explodes with dynamic color, featuring a fiery blend of yellow, orange, and green hues that create an almost psychedelic backdrop. This energetic pattern contrasts beautifully with the cooler tones of the cat, suggesting the heat and passion of a live blues festival where music and atmosphere meld into an unforgettable experience. The use of bright, bold colors not only captures attention but also conveys the vibrancy and energy of the event celebrated by this limited edition phone card.

Typography plays a key role in reinforcing the theme, with the bold, artistic script proclaiming “Blues Music Festival” prominently in the upper third of the design. The style of the lettering echoes the fluidity and improvisational spirit of blues music. The inclusion of ‘95 clearly dates the card to the mid-1990s, anchoring it within a specific cultural moment. A small corner label indicating the card’s value—$15—adds a practical element, signaling its function as a telephone card while enhancing its appeal as a collectible for music memorabilia enthusiasts.

At the lower right corner, the Image Communications logo appears, further authenticating this piece as a limited edition collectible designed for a niche market of music fans and collectors. The cat’s confident stance, detailed guitar, fiery background, and thoughtfully crafted typography combine to make this phone card a vivid snapshot of the 1995 Blues Music Festival’s energy and charm. More than just a functional item, this collectible pays artistic homage to the rich blues tradition and the unique cultural moments it continues to inspire.
