Fantastic selection of artists/designers. I love Shannon Lowry’s cards. Mark Word’s landscapes. Cindy Morgan’s illustrations. Nancy Mim’s prints. I’ll look for the rest without a doubt.

I agree with Mal but LA is worse.

Damn mal! That is one caustic diatribe. Please share it with everyone you meet in California. Maybe it will dissuade any more Californians from adding to our sprawl.

too bad austin is not exactly the crafty oasis everyone thinks it is. the people you hear about in austin are the only ones actually doing anything – you have to fish through a MILLION people to find anyone who isn’t a slacker loser. The art scene as well as film are clique-ish – you can’t get in unless you know someone!

lived there for 20 years – moved to LA and have been ever so much more creatively fulfilled.

I love living in Austin. Just being here for the past 5 years inspired me to start my own business. The mantra to “buy local” is a huge influence in the Austin scene, and I’m continually surprised by the outpouring of support for local creative businesses.

Wow. Mark Word’s landscape design is beautiful. I am especially impressed by his work on this Marfa residence. Can I move there?
