Burnaway Artist Editions are short runs of art objects created by artists from the South and the Caribbean and intended for a broad scope of discerning collectors. Started in 2025, Burnaway has collaborated with three artists from our coverage region in creating bespoke art objects: Shawn Campbell, Joy Drury Cox, and Antonio Darden.

For our fourth Artist Edition, Nashville and New York City-based artist Marlos E’van collaborated with Burnaway to create Sweet Lilly-Marie, a tee shirt inspired by a character in La Strada, one of E’van’s favorite films. Playing out in E’van’s practice of visual story-telling, Lilly-Marie represents family, innocence, adventure, love, triumph, and coming of age. Originally based on the character Gelsomina and a family member of E’van, Lilly-Marie first appeared in their painting Zampo and Lilly-Marie on the Road; in this iteration, she is finding joy and peaceful moments during chaotic times.
Sweet Lilly-Marie is available for pre-order only in the Burnaway shop through April 10, 2026.

Created by Atlanta-based artist Antonio Darden, Untitled (Studio View) is an isometric and introspective flag modeled after his studio. Inspired by LaShun Pace’s song “There’s a Leak in this Old Building”, the depicted studio is ‘leaking’. Objects such as his 1985 Monte Carlo SS, family photo albums, and piles of tires save space for memories. Adornments of graffiti, like ‘sinpapales’ and a drawing by Darden’s son, decorate the standalone building. References to some of Darden’s works further represent his interiority. Darden recalls that the studio is an emotional, psychological space. The flag invites viewers to consider their own living, moving, and breathing archive and methods of processing. Untitled (Studio View) acts as a ritual of both hope and longsuffering, in flight.
Untitled (Studio View) is available on the Burnaway Shop.

Carrboro, NC-based artist Joy Drury Cox designed Watching, Looking, Seeing, a limited edition of 50 bandanas inspired by the design of a neighborhood crime watch sign. Cox often appropriates mundane and bureaucratic structures in her artwork to critique their design and intended functions. She reworked the icon of a single eye into a pattern, echoing the ways in which the act of looking itself can become a rigid, rote, and potentially harmful process. At the core of this work, Cox asks viewers to reconsider what and how we watch, look, and see the world.
Watching, Looking, Seeing is sold out but can be viewed in our shop.

For our first Artist Edition, Atlanta artist Shawn Campbell created Wrangle, a cowboy poker set complete with a beautifully designed deck of cards, poker chips, cowboy figurines, and more. The American Cowboy is less a historical figure and more a cultural myth—an idealized set of values presented as a blueprint for personal and national identity. The myth of the American Cowboy, much like the American Dream, is built on ideas of hard work, toughness, and honesty. The myth of the American Cowboy continues to exert influence—even as it constantly evolves.
Wrangle is available in the Burnaway Shop.
