Fort Lonesome

Thank you so much to the folks at for offering us the opportunity to design the 2026 Pearl Society concert series posters.

For those of you in Austin, you’re probably aware of HAAM’s incredible work to keep our thriving musical community healthy- my family specifically has benefited for many years from the work of . (Shout out )

I’ll be adding a new Ghost of the West each quarter of the year- an opportunity to robe the spirits of Central Texas in their native totems.

I’m no graphic designer- I’ve toyed with using digital design pretty much only as a baseline with which to noodle on and iterate designs whose final manifestation is dimensional, tactile and earthy.

My iPad is a sketchbook for stage one of a multi stage process that primarily takes place in a literal material world.

I appreciate the opportunity to get to play more in digital design, and this poster series is that, indeed.

However,I do believe that my heart belongs to the analog. I’ll always find my way back to the hilariously, gloriously slow and inefficient.
