Art created by Larry Hausen and Jeff Hausen

Art and illustrations by Larry and Jeff Hausen are created to celebrate California’s distinctive character, rich culture, and layered history. Their collections reflect a lifelong appreciation for the state’s remarkable diversity—from its dramatic coastal cliffs and serene mountain ranges to its vibrant hometown traditions and ever-evolving cityscapes. Each piece is crafted with an eye toward honoring the places, stories, and experiences that make California unlike anywhere else.

Growing up immersed in the Golden State’s landscapes and local communities, Larry and Jeff developed an early understanding of California’s visual soul. This deep connection continues to guide their work today. Whether depicting a fog-draped morning in San Francisco, the warm neon glow of a historic hometown theater, or a sun-washed stretch of Highway 1, their illustrations aim to capture not just what California looks like, but what it feels like.

Their creative approach blends multiple artistic mediums, including traditional watercolor, graphic design, hand-drawn illustration, and vintage-inspired poster art. This combination lends each collection a unique voice rooted in nostalgia yet grounded in contemporary craftsmanship. The result is artwork that resonates with lifelong Californians, new residents, travelers, and collectors who appreciate the spirit of the West Coast.

The collections span a wide range of themes—California travel destinations, surf culture, classic theaters, mountain and foothill communities, seasonal celebrations, and more. Together, they form a visual archive of the state’s most cherished locations and cultural touchstones. Larry and Jeff strive to create pieces that bring joy, spark memories, and preserve the beauty of everyday California moments, from small-town main streets to world-famous landmarks.

Ultimately, their work reflects a shared belief that California is best understood through its stories—stories told in color, line, light, and design. Each illustration is an invitation to rediscover the state’s heritage, appreciate its present, and celebrate the enduring magic that continues to inspire their art.
