“This month’s cover features the work of artist and sign painter, Sean Starr of Starr Studios, who two years ago graced the cover of the Dallas Observer. His previous work includes painting the cover of the Toadies’ 2015 album Heretics, Denton’s Jupiter House Coffee and Dallas’ Mudsmith. In July, Starr will partner with fellow sign painter Norma Jeanne Maloney to open a gallery in Taylor, which will include workshops, musicians and jam sessions.

This month’s cover features a glass sign designed and painted by Sean Starr of Starr Studios. Inspired by sixth generation pub owners in Limerick, Ireland, Starr utilized glass as a canvas and used copper, 23-karat yellow gold, 12-karat white gold and silver leaf to achieve the cover’s mirror-like effect. It took him 35 hours to complete, and it took the Fort Worth Magazine staff an additional eight hours to photograph and edit.”
