GARDEN & GUN
JUNE 2021 ROAD TRIPS FEATURE
Full page illustration and spots for Garden & Gun Magazine. The written vignette of the true story on which musician Robert Earl Keen's “Gringo Honeymoon” is based. 
Illustrating the beauty of memory, packing along with us vivid captures and capsules of times had. Guitar cases are the perfect conduit of memory, travelling alongside a musician wherever they go. Taking scuffs and cosmetic nicks to the shell every place it goes while protecting an instrument, and holding within itself a portal. Opening a guitar case and grabbing the instrument is like picking up every song and mile the thing has played, and letting it rest in a single moment of time where you get to access it all through the resonating materials it's made of. The guitar case is a vessel, travelling forward and backward but yet always present to hold it all at once.
