Limited Edition Sky Islands Odyssey illustration by Mary Lytle, screen printed by Cream Design and Print. 12.5” x 19” (image size: 10” x 16”). Flatstock french paper - whip cream. Ink color Pantone 584 U.

Mary has been illustrating my concepts for rides and landscapes for over ten years now. There have been some classics over the years, but I have to say that this illustration of the Sky Islands Odyssey East Loop is my favorite. Mary created this illustration last year, depicting the classic view of the Mustang Mountains from east mesa as bikepackers approach the Appleton-Whittell Research Ranch along the route. The image includes some of the iconic elements and wildlife you'll see, particularly around the ranch. When Cream Design and Print in Tucson, AZ, printed the design on some seafoam green t-shirts to be sold through the AWRR, they threw in a single print, which gave Mary's artwork a whole new life. I've meant to get some made and sharing them with you ever since, and I finally got around to putting the order in a few weeks ago. When we are simultaneously stuck in our houses on video calls and dreaming of the places we have been or want to go, a little inspiration and decoration can go a long way. This print provides both. These will be available and shipping the week of February 14th, but I am opening the pre-order for the limited quantity of prints now.

Shipping note: These will be shipped anywhere in the U.S. via USPS. Due to my proximity to the nearest post office I will ship these in 1-2 batches per week. You can feel confident that these will be packaged in the highest quality tube and delivered by e-bike through the landscape depicted.
