Original artwork created for Pirate Season 2026, rooted in Ybor City and the stretch of Seventh Avenue where the season begins. The date is woven directly into the design, marking a specific time and place in Tampa’s living cultural calendar.
The illustration features Ybor’s iconic free-roaming rooster cutting across the water with a sword in hand and a cigar clenched in his beak, the city skyline rising behind him. It’s a nod to Cuban heritage, old-world swagger, and the quiet confidence that defines this neighborhood long before the parade lights turn on.
This piece is designed to be worn year after year, serving as a marker of where the season starts and part of an ongoing annual tradition. Each Pirate Season release captures a new chapter.
