On the corner of Red River Street and 4th Street in Austin, Txas, the installation will be on display March 11th – 15th from 10am – 10pm daily and is open to the public.

“Preacher,” which premieres on AMC in May, is based on the popular cult comic book franchise of the same name. It is a supernatural, twisted and darkly comedic drama that follows a West Texas preacher named Jesse Custer, who is inhabited by a mysterious entity that causes him to develop a highly unusual power. Jesse, his badass ex-girlfriend Tulip and an Irish vagabond named Cassidy come together, and when they do, they are thrust into a crazy world populated by a cast of characters from Heaven, Hell and everywhere in between.
