Description

Lysander moves through history like a desert wind—soft yet unstoppable. A gay Black cowboy dandy, a dream carved from the sun-scorched legacy of the Buffalo Soldiers, the Creole trail riders, and the unsung horsemen who tamed the frontier but were erased from its myths. His wide-brimmed Stetson, adorned with an indigenous-patterned band, casts a shadow both sharp and protective, shielding him from the weight of erasure. His eyes? They hold the quiet rebellion of every Black cowboy who dared to stake their claim on the open range.

His bespoke cowboy jacket tells its own story, embroidered with echoes of Gee’s Bend quilts, each thread a whispered hymn of migration, resilience, and love stitched into worn denim and softened leather. The silk bandana, tied loosely at his throat, is kissed with prairie dust and woven with the essence of Black Southern dandyism—where masculinity and adornment are not at odds but in exquisite harmony. Wildflowers peek from its folds, a nod to the fleeting, the delicate, the defiantly tender.

Behind him, the painted desert backdrop sways with the sepia-toned echoes of lost trails, a spectral quilt of West African textile motifs and cowboy cartography. Here, in this liminal space between past and future, Lysander stands unbroken—a sovereign figure in the mythos of the queer Black West.
