Burning the Evidence – Captain Casual | Cowboy Series

Burning the Evidence is a raw, intimate portrait of solitude and survival. A weathered cowboy, partially illuminated in bold strokes of electric blue, golden yellow, and fiery red as the cowboy lights his smoke against a deep shadowed backdrop —

The dramatic color blocking across his face and hat creates a modern, flame-lit tension against the dark negative space. It feels like dusk in the desert — that quiet moment after a long ride when the air is thick, the sun has burned the sky, and the only sound left is music drifting into the open land.

Loose, expressive linework gives the piece grit and authenticity, while the vibrant palette injects contemporary edge into classic Western imagery. The flame illuminates the sky with a fiery color— it’s a symbol of spark, new beginnings, and storytelling.

Burn the Evidence embodies independence, isolation, and the quiet strength of a lone spirit. A powerful statement piece that blends rugged tradition with bold, modern energy.
