Skeleton Cowboy Art by Caya Crum

The Highwayman isn't a costume — he's an apparition. A cowboy skeleton in a pink western shirt and red bandana rides through the prickly pear under a crescent moon, guitar in hand, still making his rounds. Caya Crum painted this cowboy painting as a tip of the hat to "Highwayman," the anthem recorded by The Highwaymen — Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson — about a soul that keeps coming back. Equal parts skeleton art and outlaw country art, a West Texas ghost story with the folk-art warmth fans of day of the dead art fall for.

He rides best with company — browse our cowboy art for more riders, or give him a stage next to the legends in our music wall art collection.

Product FAQ

Is The Highwayman based on the song?

It's a tribute. The 1985 recording by The Highwaymen — Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Kris Kristofferson — tells of a spirit who returns again and again. Caya Crum's rider is that idea in paint: an apparition who never quite left the trail.

What is happening in the Skeleton Highwayman print?

A skeleton cowboy in a pink western shirt and red bandana rides through the prickly pear under a crescent moon, guitar in hand, still making his rounds — a West Texas ghost story with the folk-art warmth of day of the dead art.

Where does skeleton cowboy art hang?

Bar areas, man caves, and living rooms with a sense of humor — and it earns a permanent Halloween spot that never has to come down.

Who is The Highwayman a good gift for?

Outlaw country fans, Willie and Cash devotees, and anyone whose taste runs a little haunted — a strong gift for a boyfriend or dad who already has everything.

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.
