Show & Tell

mcspadden-save-the-date_v1692

Our friends from down the street at Charla Wood’s studio, along with a handful of other local business, will be hosting a photographic benefit for Wyatt McSpadden this Friday. Wyatt has been one of the best photographers in town for decades, and helped pave the way for my generation of shooters in a smaller Austin Market. He also shot a book on Texas BBQ that gives me “photo envy” on a regular basis for not having had the idea.

The benefit will have a silent auction including prints from Dan Winters, Platon, Keith Carter, and about two dozen other renowned photographers from across the country. Benefits will go towards the Wyatt’s medical fund.

Full event info after the click.

Here at PUBLIC SCHOOL, we’re in the final throes of the year with work, so have been a bit tied up the last week or so. Despite that, we ran across a little gem that will bring some holiday cheer to your morning. Check out this hilarious collection of parents giving their kids fake gifts on Jimmy Kimmel.

This kid is amazing. He lives on a mint farm and is incredibly interested in Legos, but was disappointed by the lack of farm equipment models in the Lego lineup. He took it upon himself to instead design and build custom working replicas of all of the equipment. They are insanely complicated and insanely cool.

Free beer! You love that right? Well thanks to our friends Chuck & Jake, you can have some tomorrow after work from 6-8 at our studio (RSVP here). They’re releasing some new clothes in their winter line, so wanted to show em’ off and meet new folks. Come on by to meet them, check out some of their clothes, and to tell Cody he needs to clean up his beard.

What if children’s drawings were drawn more realistically? That’s the question that Dave DeVries answered when he created The Monster Engine. Sadly, the Monster Engine site is down, presumably from all of the traffic it is getting, but after the jump you can see more crazy cool examples of this work.


Note Cards

Apparently you've read through all of the note cards. Good work.
