"Last Round Up" Framed Canvas

This piece blends hand-drawn illustration with collage to create a bold, cinematic take on the classic space-cowboy narrative. A group of riders charge forward beneath a hovering UFO, caught mid-motion as a beam of green light cuts through the scene. The imagery pulls from vintage Western pulp and mid-century science fiction, merging two iconic genres into a single, surreal moment.

The tension between frontier mythology and extraterrestrial invasion gives the work its playful edge, reimagining the Old West through a retro-futurist lens. Dust, motion, and exaggerated color reinforce the drama, while the illustrated figures and collaged elements work together to evoke the look and energy of classic pulp magazine covers.

Bright yellows and acid greens dominate the composition, amplifying the sense of chaos and momentum while anchoring the piece firmly in a nostalgic, mid-century palette. The result is a striking blend of humor, action, and cultural reference.

Printed on a 40” high by 30” wide canvas and finished in a walnut wood frame, The Final Round Up delivers a statement-making presence ideal for modern, mid-century, and retro-inspired spaces.
