Janis Joplin Quote — Texas Music Wall Art by Betsy Crum

Janis said it in an interview in 1970, a few months before she died, and it is the truest thing anyone from Port Arthur ever said about ambition. Betsy lettered it in the loose, hand-cut capitals of a festival poster and gave it two grounds: a weathered Brown that looks like a barn door, and a faded Teal that looks like a 1969 van. Both are music wall art first and Texas art second.

It suits a music room, a studio, a teenager's wall, or a gallery wall with Caya's Janis mural and the Stevie Ray Vaughan quote. The rest of the band is in music wall art and Texas quote prints.

Product FAQ

When did Janis Joplin say this?

In an interview in 1970, a few months before she died. It is probably the truest thing anyone from Port Arthur ever said about ambition.

What are the two grounds?

A weathered Brown that looks like a barn door, and a faded Teal that looks like a 1969 van. The lettering is the same hand-cut festival-poster capitals in both.

Is this a Texas print or a music print?

Music first, Texas second. The line is cut into the shape of the state, but it is the quote people hang it for.

What goes next to it?

Caya's Janis mural, and the Stevie Ray Vaughan quote. Two Texas musicians and two very different hands makes a better wall than two of the same.

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.

What sizes does this print come in?

Our fine art prints are available in standard rectangle and square sizes. Rectangles: 8x10 unframed matted to 11x14, 11x14 unframed, 16x20, 18x24, and 24x36. Squares: 8x8 unframed matted to 12x12, 12x12 unframed, 16x16, 20x20, and 24x24. Each size ships ready to frame, making it easy to find the right fit for your wall.

How do I make a gallery wall with art prints?

Start with an anchor piece and build outward — many Crum Art prints are part of series designed to group together as a statement gallery wall, or hang individually as standalone pieces. Since every image is sized to fit standard frames, mixing sizes is easy: lay the arrangement out on the floor first, keep about two to three inches between frames, and center the whole grouping at eye level.
