Austin Retro Anime Travel Poster

"Keep Austin Weird" was a slogan before it was a bumper sticker, and Austin has taken the directive seriously. It's a city where breakfast tacos are a food group, where bats emerge from under the Congress Avenue Bridge in clouds of two million every summer evening, and where South Congress is lined with vintage shops and food trucks serving things like smoked brisket ramen that shouldn't work but absolutely do. This poster captures Austin in 1990s anime cel style — the Texas State Capitol's pink granite dome rendered in warm hand-drawn detail, Barton Springs Pool glowing in retro natural turquoise, and the SXSW energy of Sixth Street captured in soft vintage neon. Lady Bird Lake reflects cel-shaded sunset colors. The Cathedral of Junk (yes, it exists, and it's glorious) becomes an anime sculpture garden. The whole composition radiates the same un-self-conscious coolness that makes Austin irresistible. Printed on 200 gsm matte paper with archival inks.
