We painted the @artbustx a great project!
Thanks to @almostrealthings for the invitation and to my assistant, Alonzo Barreiro and @zzulch@color_amexico
Let me know what you think!

🫰✨ and just like that it's 2026 and we're hitting the ground running bc there's so much good work to be done. Since day 1 we've backed the doers, the people who bring positive progress to the world.
We're so thankful to be part of this powerful community with you, a community that we saw grow significantly last year, in both quality and development 🔥
When we support each other, we all grow together. THAT'S the energy we're doubling down on this year.
Everyone does it in their own way. For us, that means:
🌟 Explaining what we do and how we can help more effectively on our website
🌟 Growing our team to increase our capacity and efficiency
🌟 Expanding the value our ART Club membership as a way to share more opportunities, learnings and invites
🌟 Leveraging our @artbustx to get more people to more art
🌟 Holding space for doers of all kinds through our exhibitions and collaborations at @2324atx + our ART Gallery at @canopyaustin
🌟 Bringing more people together through our two signature events this year: the 4th annual Touch the Art and the 24th annual @austinstudiotour
It's going to be another big year. Realistically over 2,000 of you will be involved with us, creating inspiring things for over 100,000 of you to enjoy.
That's crazy and we love it. Let's do this! 💖
For real, I might be sleep deprived but I'm on the verge of happy tears looking at all of your artwork. Austin has the coolest talented people / the most talented cool people.
I love my job. Keep sending work. Happy Friday!

☝️ Tonight! Was craving a dance party and @thisismesmerize delivers. Summer Nights goes live at 9pm and I have a dancey set for you with a bunch of tracks I've been wanting to play out for a while, followed by @missphamous whose sets are always on point. Big fan.
Dance will save us.

💛 It's all love. I'm DJing @thisismesmerize twice: 2/12 & 2/13, unleashing the magic of music as a tool for connection 🪄

🤯 What a ride! Believe it or not, Nat and I didn't go to bus school so there are quite a few things we had to figure out on our own ✌️🚍
💫 BUS OWNERSHIP LEARNINGS
We're not going to drive it
Even when you think it’s off, it’s not
600,000 miles on a bus isn't that many
Low on gas? Hope you saved $800 to fill up
Secure everything
Stay seated when we turn
Rock the bus (don’t rock the bus, baby)
Always charge a sick fee for rentals
Parking permits are easy to photoshop
Vinyl becomes permanent after a year
Nothing sticks to the ceiling
Nothing is a quick fix
Nothing is cheap
💕 Big ups to everyone who helped us along the journey! Excited for another ART Bus Tour season starting this weekend!

🌟 TFW someone makes you look and feel like a superstar—@voguevignetteofficial surprised us with the coolest ART team illustrations!
We’ve been working with founder @stephaniejschiller for years but we’re always running around at our events wishing we had time to strike a pose for a fashion illustration. Hopefully you got to see her at our Party at the People’s House.
💖 She brings a special kind of empowering magic to a celebration and we love her so much for that.

🌴 Made it exactly one year without posting and coincidentally it's the year that I played and hosted my favorite events ever:
🛸 Area 54 and Art Block for my birthday with @thisismesmerize
🪘 Noise Stations with @chidomachine
🪩 @henryinvisible day @superstitionatx
🚍 Many gigs in the new ART Bus DJ Booth with @dulcevidatequila@sxsw@fuseboxlive@austinstudiotour@scottslyteratx
Been so busy running that I haven't had time to stop and smell the roses. Luckily all the successes and good times are locked safely in memory to reminisce later.
🚨 Next up is Red Room for a darker set I've been working on for 4 years and collaborating with @da.wb on a new controllable video+light experience that I've been dreaming of for even longer. @djleftyatx@lolashaus_@sameg14 in the house on this one too!

💃 Oooh I've been going to fantastic @artislandatx events for years and now I get to spin one!
Their Holiday Mercado goes from 6 to midnight with 25 artists and vendors, bites and drinks curated by Art Islanders themselves.
I'm stoked for the other live musical acts: Jazz and Bossa Nova by @nossasnovas & @deep.velvet and Brazilian dance lessons from Esquina Tango.
