Rainwaters Pecha Kucha

Screen shot 2009-11-19 at 10.00.48 AM

If you’re in the dark about Pecha Kucha, its a cool place to discover some of your local talent, and is generally a who’s who hangout of the creative world. The nominated talent who present at each event get 20 slides and 20 seconds to speak about said slides. Our buddy Matt Rainwaters will be speaking at tonight’s Pecha Kucha in east Austin along with Armin Vit and Bryony Gomez-Palacio of UnderConsideration LLC. Us PUBLIC SCHOOLers will be there supporting Matty Rainwaters and you should too.

Super Yoga Palace – Mural

Super Yoga Palace Mural from MrFancyPants on Vimeo.

Will recently designed the logo for Super Yoga Palace which is an amazing yoga studio located in Deep Ellum (Dallas, TX). It is run by the lovely Jessica Jordan (The Polyphonic Spree) and receives tremendous support from her husband Josh.

Will has been wanting to paint a mural for awhile so he offered and Jessica was thrilled (tricked). So with the help of Public School homie, Rand Renfrow, Mr. Fancy Pants painted his first mural on Saturday! It turned out awesome and he was mostly blown away by the gracious hospitality of the Jordan family. (He even snuck in some Wii with their two awesome sons)

More photos after the jump….

Jonathan donated a portrait session to the Ghoulwill Ball 2009 which takes place this Friday at Austin’s historic Driskill Hotel.

It’s gruesome fun for a good cause. Proceeds benefit Goodwill’s job-related programs and services with a simple mission of changing lives through the power of work.

Purchase a ticket here and enjoy free cocktails all night! Jonathan’s photo session will be up for grabs in the silent auction, so bid high!

Special thanks to A.J. Bingham for setting this up and being involved with such a great organization!

Voorhes

exploded

Its Pimp Our Friends day here at PUBLIC SCHOOL. This post being about our amigo Adam Voorhes, a purveyor of fine spiced rums and exploder of objects in front of cameras. He’s a great still life and product photographer here in Austin and he did a study on exploded objects that has turned out really nicely. My favorite is the frog…

Hi Pubic School! I’ve been a little absent lately from posting, I hope I don’t get detention. Today for show ‘n tell, I’ve got my buddy David Robert Elliot’s newly updated site. I think he’s got a particular knack for portraiture; at being able to casually catch people in a specific moment that seems to really fit to them.
