Trenton Doyle Hancock Studio visit
I've been a fan of Trenton's work ever since I first saw it at an exhibition at the Camh, eight years ago. It's was a huge privilege to visit his studio and check out his work in progress. He's been busy collaborating with the Austin ballet and showing his work all around the world. His warehouse studio, located about 15 minutes North downtown, is huge, with "mountains" of found objects and scraps filed up sporadically over the space. Thanks K!Monday, November 16, 2009

Amarone della Valpolicella
Is there any very poisonous lethal spider in Texas that I should be aware of? I can swear I have an infestation in my apartment and my aracnophobia is starting to kick in.
