Cirque du horror poster art
Well I didn’t have much time to do this but I think it turned out pretty good it’s for a Halloween show at the Texas theater. Sort of like a variety show music and little scenes and skits you know funny but spooky. Not too sure if I can make it actually you’re not going … Read More
and so it begins
I feel like I am doing something really dumb trying to sand all of this crap myself but heck why not? So far I am making good progress but man it is a bit of a hill. Also I got dusty as hell last time.
The difference between Dallas i345, San Francisco and Seattle.

What we need to do to the highway around the other side of Dallas i345
[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/2″][az_column_text animation_loading=”no” animation_loading_effects=”fade_in”]Here it is. Pretty straight forward. Just an initial thought. ideas like these from this site: are cool ways to use a structure we already have instead of buldozing and doing over. AHHHH it sounds SOOOOO much like the baloney with the Hilton downtown that was going to be demoed because … Read More
Fixing up galleries. Some ghost show assets are up.
For a good cause.
My fault. I got a little carried away for a charity auction and spent a little too much time on making an art piece. It turned out great.
Taking Down the Nothing Fits Show.
It was a good turn out. Now that it has been a couple weeks since taking it down, I am starting to want to do another show. >>>Side note, I really enjoyed working with Nina Harp on this project, she is a really great person and I really feel like I was able to peak … Read More

Update on the house
Here is a cool update on the house. The front entry garden and fountain are done up. I was able to rehab the old plumbing and install a new pump and bowl for the fountain system. The dirt was bone dry and sandy. Had to dig out a ton of it so the plants wouldn’t … Read More

We are currently doing some neat much more mobile integrated projects. I am making it a pledge to post more often. I did a shoot for work up … Read More
Mega table almost done
Living in the outer rings of the cliff is really peaceful and quiet. A bit unusual but I am getting acquainted with it. The place I live in is damn fine and I am still scratching my head about people paying the big bucks in fancy “old oak cliff” ain’t it funny? Seems like only … Read More
Outdoor signage in place, but hit a snag
Update. plexiglass came in! Woo! Only one thing, it is thicker than what the original material was. The builder assured Marc that that this was not an issue and that we could make it work in the existing group. Worked with Thomas and Marc to get the last bits of the vinyl sign stickers applied … Read More
Life and the art of restaurant signage
The plan to help a friend of mine on the branding of his new restaurant turned out to be a really educational one. I think I want to mess around with this developing these kinds of projects a lot more in the future. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I really enjoy working on user … Read More
Bizarre dreams make room for crisp awake state.
All last night I was having dreams. Before I could get the chance to totally relax and dip into the quiet abyss of complete and total subconscious rest, I was resuscitated back into a completely torturous visual fest. My mind was exhausted this morning as I struggled to rustle myself out of bed. I do have a penchant for … Read More
Voting Freakfest.
Wow. Didn’t think it would get to this level, but here it is. Sounds like voting machines are rigged. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oOj2IPulNPA I did these a couple months back, but I figured they were appropriate for voting day. If you’ve tried Coke and Pepsi, then maybe you want orange juice?
One day closer to big fun.
There is a certain excitement when it comes to creating something, especially when it is something for your own company. There is a certain level of ownership that is sometimes lost when you are working for a customer. I am not saying that the work you do for customers is somehow less important or not as … Read More
Testing. Testing.
I am getting some blog stuff set up on my site www.erikschuessler.com. Making it a little easier to put thoughts out.
Percival must have went through a ton of shoes.
My skill set is constantly growing. I seem to run into it whether I want to or not. The idea of many additional hats stacking up on my head is not a concept I particularly enjoy, however it seems to cultivate a certain level of perception or foresight that could be lost on someone working … Read More
