Texas Trip
Per usual, I’m having some trouble finding time to blog while traveling. I’m stashing my photos here for now. If someone wants to buy me an iphone, that’d be swell.
Book signing went great!
Cowboy Boot History for Sale on eBay
A rare find. A pen and ink drawing signed by Harry Olsen. The image is great… a wild bronc bustin’ out of a corral of art deco typography. (photos)
Olsen-Stelzer created beautiful cowboy boot catalogs way back when. Illustrated the margins with sunsets and cactus… a pen and ink was all you needed to imagine adventure in high-def.
