WILDWEST — Drawings for Magnolia

A series of original drawings inspired by road trips through California and the American West — desert landscapes, endless roads, cowboys, cacti, strange silhouettes and vivid colors. These drawings became the starting point for WILDWEST, the first collection of my clothing label, magnoliabyvanessaatlan.

Magnolia was born from my desire to take my drawings beyond paper and turn them into something that can be worn, lived in and taken on the road. The name Magnolia is a personal reference to J.J. Cale and to a song that accompanied many of our travels through California.
