First Aid Kit

Once again, I was listening to KUT a few days ago when I heard First Aid Kit for the first time.  They are a Swedish female duo but it sounds like they could have grown up right here in Austin.  They have a new album out, The Lion’s Roar.  Check...

No Popcicle Sticks Here!

I found artist Jay Mohler today on Etsy and was floored when I started looking closer at his work.  The color attracted me immediately, but when I realize the scale and the intricacy I was even more impressed. Jay started making Ojos de Dios in his “hippie days” in the...
