About the 1st Siesta Key Music Scene Print

Every music scene has its stories. Siesta Key has a lot of them. This print was originally built around the region’s deep southern rock roots and its legendary beachside venues, but it grew into something more personal along the way.

The 1st Siesta Key Music Scene Print became a tribute to Zack Yoder, a young musician who left a mark on the scene that the community has not forgotten. His dates, 6-2-92 and 7-5-24, are worked directly into the composition. The print had to carry that weight while still feeling like a celebration. Psychedelic color, tiki culture, swaying palms, custom typography, and the kind of layered illustration energy that belongs on the wall of a great music venue.

It also needed to work as a product. Something available online, something a venue would actually buy to put on their wall, and something that shows what a well-built fine art print looks like when illustration, graphic design, and typography are all firing together.

The Result
The 1st Siesta Key Music Scene Print is a piece that means something to the people it was made for. It has been featured online through the Siesta Key Music Scene community and shown at local events. Fans of the scene recognize it. Musicians connect with it.

It also does what a strong portfolio piece should do for me as a designer: it shows bands, venues, and event coordinators what is possible when you bring real illustration craft to music promotion. If you want artwork that carries that kind of weight for your event or your venue, this is the kind of work I do.
