Dead Cowboy

Together& Mike Dings

We are very proud to present Dead Cowboy by Mike Dings, the first project released under the sublabel of our Together& sideproject. The 88-page unbound A3 publication comprises of the complete collection of works on paper portraying deceased cowboys (2019) by the Dutch artist with a profound love for Spaghetti Westerns. It highlights the sensible strokes of Dings’ pencils, showing lonely yet brutally honest scenes of anonymous cowboy figures captured during the dying moments before no one will remember them, again. We asked Dutch writer and poet Bram Schweckhorst to write the accompanying short-short story that forms the introduction of the magazine. Inspired by the works of Dings, in a captivating, almost cinematic style, Schweckhorst describes the essence of one of these lonely encounters – in order for us to remember those who were doomed to be forgotten by all.
