This Illustration was inspired by the song Highwayman by Jimmy Webb. The song tells the story of a soul being reincarnated through different times in history: a highwayman, sailor, construction worker on the Hoover Dam, and finally as a captain of a starship. Based on the western genre and the lost art of aircraft nose pin-up art, this illustration is what I would imagine the starship captain in the song would have painted on his ship. Dressed in NASA orange, this space cowgirl pin-up represents the story of the highwayman’s reincarnation through the history of art.
