Austin Letters Typography Art Print by Carl Crum
This print spells out AUSTIN using the vintage neon, old signs, and landmarks that define the city — typography art assembled as a photomontage. It's clever austin art and detailed photomontage art for an entryway, office, or gallery wall: a postcard you can live with that rewards a close look as each letter reveals another piece of the city. A giftable way to spell out your love for Austin, literally.
Austin Letters Typography FAQ
What's the design? The word “AUSTIN” built from the city's vintage signs and landmarks — a typography photomontage of Austin itself.
Who made it? Carl Crum, whose photomontage work assembles a city's signage into a single composition.
Six letters, a hundred landmarks, one city that can't sit still. Spell it out with more Austin art, or read the rest of Carl Crum's work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does this print come in?
Our fine art prints are available in multiple sizes including 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.
Is this print good for a western or ranch-style living room?
Absolutely. Crum Art prints work beautifully in western living rooms, ranch house walls, and collected interiors. The editorial quality and distinct Texas point of view make them strong anchor pieces for a rustic western or Lone Star-inspired home.
How is this print made and what materials are used?
Every Crum Art print is produced on 100% cotton rag paper using archival pigment inks — the same standard used in fine art galleries. Built to last without fading, and hand-signed by the artist before it leaves our Fort Worth studio.
Can this print be part of a gallery wall?
Yes — many Crum Art prints are part of series and are designed to group together as a statement western gallery wall, or hang individually as a standalone piece. Each image is sized to fit standard frames for easy styling.
Will this look like an original painting or a print?
Crum Art takes the scanning and photographing of original paintings seriously — we work to capture the texture of the canvas or paper the original was created on, so that texture shows through in the print. Combined with the cotton rag paper's own subtle surface and the hand-signing, many customers say they cannot tell if it's an original or a print. That's intentional. These are not flat digital reproductions — they are fine art prints that carry the soul of the original.
Made with love. Signed by hand. Shipped with care. Hung with joy.
Product FAQ
How were the six letters put together?
Each letter of AUSTIN is assembled from the city's vintage neon, old signs, and landmarks — a photomontage where the city literally spells its own name.
Is a long horizontal print hard to place?
Easier than you'd think — above a sofa, a headboard, or a doorway, the wide shape fills the long, low spots most art leaves empty.
Would a new Austinite appreciate this?
Very much — it doubles as a scavenger hunt for someone learning the city. It's a favorite welcome-to-Austin gift for transplants and new grads alike.
What hangs well next to Austin Letters?
Austin Favorites comes from the same photomontage family, and the Texas Shaped Photomontage lets the whole state's outline in on the joke.
