Jimmy Buffett: A Tribute to the Songwriter, Storyteller, and Island Icon
Jimmy Buffett, the Storyteller is Kyle Lucks’ tribute to the poetic soul behind the Margaritaville brand. Rather than spotlight Jimmy’s commercial fame, this piece honors his true legacy as a songwriter and storyteller. The background layers handwritten lyrics, a vintage nautical chart of Key West, and references to his early days as a musician. A parrot over his heart symbolizes his connection to his fans and love for performing. Subtle details nod to his personal favorite, “Twelve Volt Man,” revealing the depth behind the island icon. It’s a vibrant, emotional portrait of the artist who made the world feel like paradise.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Jimmy Buffet, the Storyteller
Kyle Lucks’ Jimmy Buffett, the Storyteller is a vibrant, layered tribute to one of music’s most beloved and underrated voices. This fine art portrait isn’t about Margaritaville or the commercial empire Buffett built - it’s a celebration of his identity as a poet, performer, and master of lyrical storytelling.
Raised by Parrothead parents, Kyle grew up listening to Jimmy’s music. This piece reflects that lifelong connection, with nods to Buffett’s early days as a young musician in Mobile, Alabama, and the coastal influence of Key West that shaped his sound. The background blends a vintage nautical chart from 1855, handwritten lyrics from “Last Mango in Paris” and “Changes in Latitudes, Changes in Attitudes,” and other visual artifacts that inspired Buffett’s songs.
Over Jimmy’s heart sits a bright, symbolic parrot, representing his passion for performing and the millions of fans he moved with his music. The colors throughout are intentionally bold, echoing the energy, joy, and escapism he gave to generations. A spot varnish quote from one of Jimmy’s own favorite songs, “Twelve Volt Man,” hides in plain sight, offering a subtle emotional anchor for fans who knew his deeper catalog.
For collectors of music-inspired art, pop culture portraits, or coastal-themed originals, this piece stands as an emotional tribute to a true American storyteller.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
