Carl Crum Art - Texas Cities, Signs, Landmarks and Iconography

Carl Crum Art

Carl Crum’s work began in Austin in the late 1980s, when he became captivated by the city’s signs, landmarks, and visual character. As a high school student, he created the first of many Austin photomontages—layered, detail-rich compositions that capture a place the way memory does: saturated, symbolic, and instantly recognizable.

He expanded the concept across Texas—Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, Dallas—and eventually a sweeping piece that celebrates the entire state. What started as a dimensional, 3D concept mounted on metal evolved into a decades-long practice spanning fine art, documentary film, and video work for a multitude of clients across the country.

Carl’s Emmy-winning career reflects the same signature strengths found in his art: a sharp eye, technical fluency, and a rare instinct for what makes an image feel alive. These works are both Texas artifacts and visual storytelling—made for collectors who want place, history, and identity on the wall.

About Crum Art Prints

A Crum Art print is designed as both artwork and artifact—something that carries the emotional charge of memory while standing up as a crafted object of its own. Each piece is printed to museum standards with archival inks on heavyweight cotton rag paper, giving every color a satisfying presence and every line a clarity that lasts.

Every Crum Art print is hand-signed by the artist, making each one a personal, collectible work rather than a mass-produced poster.
