Vintage Bathtub on Route 66 Classic Americana | Limited Edition of 10
Abandoned Motel, Route 66, and One Very Out-of-Place Bathtub
You can’t make this stuff up. A porcelain clawfoot tub, rusted at the edges, sitting dead centre on the front porch of an abandoned motel somewhere along Route 66. No sign, no plaque, no attempt to explain it—it was just there, like it had always belonged. And that’s exactly what made me stop.
This wall art print is one of my favourites not because it’s grand, but because it’s strange in the best way. It’s the kind of image that makes people pause, tilt their heads, and ask, “What’s going on here?” There’s humour in it, sure—but also something thoughtful. It’s a visual question without a clean answer. And that, to me, is what makes for truly creative wall art.
The motel behind it is long past its prime—faded paint, broken windows, a cracked concrete porch that’s still trying to hold everything up. But the tub? It’s positioned just so. Whether it was placed as a joke or just left behind, it has presence. The scene feels almost staged, but I can promise you, it wasn’t. I shot it exactly as I found it.
The colours are muted: soft whites, weathered wood, a hint of desert tan in the background. Everything about it feels baked in the sun, but not forgotten. This print brings a touch of surreal Americana into a room—quirky, honest, and full of character.
It works anywhere that invites conversation—entryways, studios, hallways, cafés. Hang it on your wall and someone’s going to ask about it. And that’s the point.
Like all my work, this is real photography. No setups, no AI, no composites. Captured on location and printed by hand in my studio, then signed individually. It’s part of my Creative Wall Art Collection, a space where the odd and the authentic meet.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
