Tribute on the Larry Monroe Bridge

There is a little bridge in Travis Heights which is a mosaic memorial to Larry Monroe, a local musicologist and DJ. This part is a tribute to the late, great Doug Sahm.

Entering a Kitschy Neighborhood

This mosaic sculpture greets one at Live Oak and Congress to give you an idea what to expect in this eclectic South Austin neighborhood.

Arty Convenience Store

A convenience store on East Cesar Chavez has already appeared here for the Our Lady of Guadalupe Pay Phone. But noticed some new art the other day.

Mosaic Detail on Eleventh Street

This lovely mosaic is on Eleventh Street.

Fairy Stairs

There is a house on an alley behind the center that holds Alamo Draft House South and there is fairy dust in the air there. The alley's surface is covered with painted, glittered decorations and the house itself bright with paint and decoration extended to the curb. These are the stairs up to the front. I'd never encountered the house before until I met an owner at a party. The light was harsh in the waning hours yesterday but I like how it streamed through the fence here. They call the place Casa Wonderlandia and, of course, there is a facebook page you can like.

Somthing Uplifting

Felt the need for something uplifting today so I've chosen a view of part of a mosaic wall at the Phoenix Academy on Live Oak, a drug treatment facility for teens.
