Shown below: the “Katrina Tryptych” found in Mi Casa on South College Street in Austin, TX.

All panels are painted over silkscreens of the headlines from the tragedy.

Left panel: the weather pattern.

Center panel: Creole woman holding lilies, against the backdrop of a ruined New Orleans.

Right panel: New Orleans jazz funeral, with water flowing out of the frame and uniting all the panels.

The painted triptych was created by Channe Felton; posters are available though I can’t find ordering info online. If you find yourself on South College Street, swing in and take a look at this interesting shop.

Now posted to Flickr, a photo album of photos taken around Austin, Texas.  Mostly of the capitol building, where I spent an enjoyable Sunday morning walking around and snapping shots:

I need to get some words to go with these pictures, especially on the preponderance of the “Lone Star” symbol throughout the capital building.

There is no finer dinner on the go than a good book, 20 McNuggets, and large fries.

Nice photo of Optimus Prime figures throughout the years. I own the one on the far right, which is the “Generation 1″ version and the daddy of them all.

The fountain at the Christian Science Center was on tonight, and flowing twice as high as usual.
