Cowboy Fantasy Bandana — Art by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos

This hand silk-screened bandana features a rare central illustration by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos, capturing a suspended moment of devotion and longing beneath a crescent moon. The scene embodies Etienne’s signature balance of tenderness, strength, and restraint — a quiet tension that defined his influence on twentieth-century erotic illustration and masculine visual archetypes.

Featuring imagery from the Dom ‘Etienne’ Orejudos Collection, Leather Archives & Museum, Chicago.

Framed by a custom paisley-meets-rope border created exclusively for The Haunted Disco, the composition merges Western Americana with the visual language of underground queer art. The border echoes traditional cowboy bandanas while sharpening the narrative focus of the central figures, transforming the classic square format into a stage for romance, power, and coded desire.

Individually hand silk-screened in New York City using permanent acrylic ink, each piece preserves the clarity and weight of Etienne’s linework while allowing subtle variations that signal true human production. The bandana functions across contexts — worn on the body, flagged, carried discreetly, or displayed as part of a personal art archive — operating as both accessory and collectible artifact of queer visual history.
