Austin James Wills

Austin is on a roll. Two pieces of mail art in one week. That's a personal best by any measure. This one features a ticket stub from Houston's legendary Fitzgeralds and a mural of Lee Quinones on Ludlow Street in the Lower East Side. I have to tell you, Austin, it took me an hour to track that down but I finally found it. This is called Dub 56 (Remix) The Toasters. I'm presuming it was the musical background while you were making it. Thanks, Austin.

Comment by Austin Wills James on February 2, 2012 at 5:21am: Exactly! I also find reggae to be a great fuel for improvisation, & inspiration.

Comment by David Stafford on February 2, 2012 at 5:16am: cool...Ska is good background music for making art...it's loose, fun, happy...uptempo...keeps you improvising...

Comment by Austin Wills James on February 2, 2012 at 5:12am: Dependant on the time left on the disc I may include some highlights from Ft.Worth's own 'The Skastafarians' album "Drink More Courage".

Comment by David Stafford on February 2, 2012 at 5:09am: that would be wonderful...I'll cook something up on my end......

Comment by Austin Wills James on February 2, 2012 at 4:59am: If you'd like I'll send you a copy of their CD 'Rampage', featuring "Cantina Ska", a Ska version of the Mos Eisley Cantina music from Star Wars.

Comment by David Stafford on February 2, 2012 at 4:40am: My ex-gf was a big fan...she had a crush on the bass player for a few minutes...They're fun...haven't been through here in awhile...The Grown Ups are hard to find...there's a nasty punk band with that name but I did find the true Grown ups on the Spawn of Skarmageddon compilation....

Comment by Austin Wills James on February 2, 2012 at 4:35am: Oh, Brave Combo! "In Heaven there is no beer! That's why we drink it here..."; I was actually an Art major at UNT for a couple of semesters, & a Denton resident for 5 years.

Comment by David Stafford on February 2, 2012 at 4:15am: I'll check 'em out...I've heard the MMB before...Love that name...Denton, Texas...home of Brave Combo....

Comment by Austin Wills James on February 2, 2012 at 4:10am: David,

Mine is probably the now defunct Denton,TX Ska band The Grown-Ups, just ask Jen Staggs about them :D , or the ever-so Mighty Mighty Bosstones, seeing them Halloween night '95 was a turning point in my life (maybe because Dicky Barret is such a cool guy, hell! He remembered my name two years later the next time I saw them!)
