Adopting that dog was such a good idea… until you got to know each other. He is a Tasmanian devil of destruction, consuming or demolishing all that come into his path like that smoke monster from Lost. You are a push-over who cannot establish boundaries. Something’s gotta give. Despite the…
Courtney Galiano, is one of those amazing women that got started early and never slowed down to nap. When faced with leaving high school and pushing dance into the grown-up drawer labeled “hobby,” she refused. Instead she started college AND joined the New York Knicks dance team. A couple of…
THIS VIDEO IS NSFW. Working for Troma is the adult version of your childhood “I want to go to Space Camp!” dream. When your family explained how much the astronaut retreat would cost, you had to admit defeat. That was the year you spent in front of the Betamax watching…
Dallas, you’ve allowed your rage to build up like an emotional credit report and now you’ve got to work through it. You could try therapy, but that requires effort and money. Oh, hey, why don’t you just go into windowless room at an undisclosed location and smash a bunch of…
Grey Smith knew that he’d stumbled upon something glorious when he first got the call: batches of old movie posters were found in a Pennsylvania attic during an estate sale, glued together into slabs. Facing out of one chunk was a poster for the 1931 crime flick Little Caesar. These…
Russell Young’s career started off with a bit of Faith — an album sleeve’s worth, in fact. He shot the photographic insert for that famous George Michael release in the ’80, and now his over-sized pop art capturings of celebrities are the toast of international high-rollers. Brad Pitt’s got one,…

Kid NES and co-conspirator Eder gave Deep Ellum the gift of Nintendo last month when they painted the promotional mural for Vinyl Thoughts’ newest collectable toy show, The Next Level. Disguised as 8-bit villains Wario and WaLuigi, the pair brushed and sprayed the wall of Quixotic World, where the event…
Meet Mark Ward. He’s a local boy who spends 90 minutes each day transforming into his role of John in Cirque Du Soleil’s “Quidam,” which wraps up its Dallas run this Sunday, March 11. You’ve only got a couple more days to explore Cirque’s rabbit hole world of contortionists, acrobats…
How safe is the art that you make? If you post it to Facebook, can someone legally swipe it? How about an online photo gallery? Copyrights are one of those areas that self-promoting artists need to educate themselves in, that’s why tonight Kettle Art Gallery is hosting a free lecture…
Growing up with a band is strange. I was playing spin the bottle to Kerplunk in the early ’90s, and sittin’ shotgun to inappropriate high school boys when Dookie dropped. I won’t go into detail of what I was doing during the follow-up Green Day albums. Now I’ve got health…
Is it just my imagination or have we been working for three weeks straight? It is time to collectively get our rocks off and start the party. Whether you wind up at 35 Denton, the Southwestern Athletic Conference, or some abstract storytelling group where people reveal the details of their…
“He was a hot air balloonist who had run low on gas and I, well, I was there to catch his fall from heaven. We spent one blissful night together — he pointed out constellations and explained where they would sit a thousand years from now, while I wove the…

Penned by playwright Kim Rosenstock, Tigers Be Still focuses on the lives of several suburban families, each attempting to pick through their own rashes of grief. Sherry is finally…

Bill Bowers is one of the final vestiges of a silently dying art form. Modern physical actors don’t seem interested in pursuing miming, instead they are drawn to the whimsical wonderlands of Cirque Du Soleil stages or other arenas that focus on group performance rather than solitary storytelling. Bowers, however,…
As soon as I moved to Dallas I was told (warned?) that men will simply walk up and talk to you. Coming from Austin where men hide in the shadows, terrified of female interaction — well hell, I was intrigued. “You mean they, just, talk?” I asked, so very curious…
The State Fair of Texas is only six months away and has officially announced its theme for 2012: it’s going to be Big & Bright. (Notice the new pedestrian-hating Calatrava bridge didn’t make the logo’s skyline.) An elaborate 300 foot long and 50 foot high Chinese Lantern Festival will aid…
