Yeah, but is it art?

I’m honored to be invited back for another episode of Contemporary Arts Museum’s Steel Lounge Underground series. This month features myself, The Tontons and Austin favorite Chicken George. Last month, the party moved to the main upstairs gallery, so there’s more space to shake it and plenty of room to accommodate a large crowd. I’ll [...]

Pod people

“In my practice I see how people have allowed their humanity to drain away…only it happens slowly instead of all at once. They didn’t seem to mind…. All of us, a little bit. We harden our hearts…grow callous…only when we have to fight to stay human do we realize how precious it is.”

My wife, daughter and [...]

Mother Sky

M13 Geek Cluster

As part of my long-term plan to put my daughter squarely on the path to geekdom, I packed up the car tonight and headed south to George Observatory, kid in tow. It was one of our quintessentially great daddy-daughter outings: “so bad, it’s good” Chinese buffet for dinner and a long drive through a burnt [...]
