Cowboy Fantasy by Dom Etienne Orejudos

A love letter to queer cowboy mythology. This hand-silkscreened bandana features a rare and unmistakable center illustration by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos—one of the most influential homoerotic artists of the 20th century. Under the crescent moon, a cowboy strums his guitar while a kneeling figure gazes up at him with devotion, desire, and that classic Etienne blend of tenderness and heat. It’s a moment suspended in time, loaded with subtext, longing, and the rugged eroticism that defined an era.

Framing the scene is a custom paisley-meets-rope border created by KB for The Haunted Disco (KB4THD), designed to echo vintage Western bandanas while amplifying the queer storytelling at the center. Every detail prints with crisp, bold linework thanks to the hand-pulled silkscreen process—each bandana carrying subtle variations and personality.

Soft, lightweight, and wearable, this piece moves seamlessly between fashion, cruising accessory, and collectible art object. Tie it in your back pocket for flagging, wear it to the rodeo (literal or metaphorical), or frame it as part of your queer art archive. This is a quiet wink to those who know, and a bold graphic statement to everyone else.

✨ Bandana images is 17" x 17", bandana is 21" x 21"

✨ Slight texture variations and ink shifts are proof that each print was pulled by human hands — not drones.

✨ Based on years of printing, I prefer these slightly irregularly sized bandanas because they are an ultralight weave cotton that becomes super soft and comfortable after the first wash.
