Austin Texas Photomontage Print (Texas Shape) | Carl Crum Art
A Texas-shaped love letter to Austin — built from the city’s iconic signs, landmarks, and visual oddities. Carl Crum started making Austin photomontages as a high school student in the late 1980s, then expanded the concept to other Texas cities and statewide editions.
What began as a dimensional, metal-mounted concept grew into decades of artwork, documentary film, and video work—driven by a sharp eye for detail and a sense for what makes people look twice.
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.
