While we work out the details of the next couple works, we encourage you to go jam on this mixtape by Nate Cross. Nate’s band Marriage has been kicking some major eardrums these days, so you should go give ’em a listen, as well.
Mixtape Edition 2
Sending vibes
We’re sending out the first of many packages into the world. Keep your eyes peeled and you might have one of these land at your door. Art by the post, the best kind in my opinion. Also, up next in the coming future, new zine announcements and art projects!
STAY UP!
HOT ROD zine release
The zine release was tons of fun and what a good feeling to put a ton of effort into something and then get drinks with your friends. We’ll be trying to do more of these gatherings in the future and hope to get more of the community involved in supporting art in bound form.
Below: Xavier, Mimi and Jack check out the zine.
Thanks to everyone who helped bring HOT ROD to life, including X.C Atkins, Mad+Musty Printing, the artists Othello Gervacio, Emerald Grippa, Minka Sicklinger. Both Jessica and myself added a few works to the book and were honored to be among such great artists.
Below: Chad Muzarelli of Mad+Musty pulls some sweet Rod Stewart posters.

Hot Rod Zine Release
We’re very close to finishing this great collaboration with new friend X.C. Atkins. We’ll be having a hang sesh and zine release Thursday, August 2nd from 7 – 10 PM, at Yellow Jacket Social Club to celebrate the completion.
Bring some bucks to buy a zine and have a drink with us. We’ll have some Rod Stewart jams pumping in the background and a bunch of paper, folded into little books for your perusal.
Songs of the Early Riser
Crummy House is pleased to announce a collaboration with artist and all-around, super talented dude, Adam Young. Adam participated in our recent Little Wooden Somethings collaboration and was awesome and asked us to show them in Songs of the Early Riser show on Saturday at Common House. We can’t wait to see all the great things Adam has cooked up! Come out and buy some art!
Rope Masks – Bertjan Pot
Thought I’d share this amazing set of masks I saw on It’s Nice That a couple weeks back.
Bertjan Pot makes these amazing rope masks. I just keep going back to check out the amazing colors and variety of shapes.

Check out this rad video recap of the Megazine Launch!
EDIT: In our haste to publish this video, we forgot to thank our bud, and great artist Rich Cali. Rich made this sweet video you see up there. We were pumped to work with Rich in the Common House exhibition. I’m working with Rich on a collaboration of my own in the coming months. It’s gonna be way rad and I’m pumped up to see what happens.
Band of Loners
Also, make sure to check out this show at Common House this weekend with many great artists and makers from Austin. Jessica and I will have a couple of works in there as well and there is word of an awesome collaborative work, which will be unveiled at the opening. Looking forward to seeing the final work.
Brian Salvi at Yard Dog
Fellow human skyscraper, Brian Salvi will be having an opening at Yard Dog this coming Saturday. Brian is a talented painter and also a musician who plays fiddle in Woodsboss, amongst other bands around town and afar. Make sure to check out his work, it’s pretty awesome. I asked Brian how he came up with the imagery he paints and he said, “I just go down to the library and flip through some books. There’s no real connection besides me finding the right image.”
