We recently took a trip deep into the bowels of the earth to visit our dear friends Scott and Jen Webel at their amazing new exhibit of cthonic mysteries. I remember back when I was still living in New Orleans, someone told me about this strange museum that had opened up in East Austin. While [...]
Once again, our garden is overrun with pixies! A month ago, the sevenfold incarnation of the Black Forest Fancies took up residence in our backyard, their tent-village springing up like a fairy ring of mushrooms. Grackle Camp was born, with the sweetest, most hard-working bunch of puppeteers you ever did meet. We woke up every [...]
The past few days have been rather damp and dreary, making me ravenous for rich, saturated color – electric, fluorescent hues that make my brain tingle. I’m getting pretty bored with the staple neutral palette that seems to be the fashion uniform these days, though don’t get me wrong – I love me some black, [...]

Hello, hello! Many apologies for the long absence and all the tumbleweeds drifting around these parts! I am returned from my travels, which proved far too fun and chaotically action-packed to do any of the updates I had anticipated. In fact, I barely had time to flick a finger towards my laptop – which was [...]

Following are a handful of my favorites, but the full set can be seen here: Hill Country New Years 2009 I love the shots he captured of our exploits with [...]
Our New Year’s Eve was truly magical. Despite a rocky start fraught with Mercury’s meddlings, we managed to create a really solid camp and the coziest tipi yet! In a pinch, duct tape, scavenged rope and a random dental tool can be used to quite ingenious effect – the skin was sewn by Francesca out [...]

Here we go, darlings – on the precipice of a new year, and just nearly ready to dry our sticky wings on the other side of the future! 2010, for real? I mean, doesn’t it seem slightly preposterous, as if we ought to be living in some science fiction reality? Where’s my flying car? I [...]

(Photographer unknown) I became friendly with the ghosts of 807 Esplanade not long after I moved into the building. The house held so much history, it would seem strange if it weren’t haunted at least by a few souls. The place was huge, and there was some heavy energy out back by the the former [...]

Our Halloween began at twilight, as the last meager trickle of trickertreaters drifted off, leaving us well stocked with gummi body parts + mini almond joys for life. Or at least a little while, knowing the sweet-tooth of certain fellas in these parts! We headed down to The Eastside Showroom to partake in their special [...]
