Tupelo Grease Co.

We created, but never produced, this design several years ago. Back then it was more of a statement about the cult and culture of toxic personalities - Kardashians, Paris Hilton, et al. But it certainly takes on a new meaning in today's weird new reality. If anyone is interested, I'm sure we can find a way to whip up a batch - let us know...

Happy Birthday to the once and always King of Rock 'n Roll, and our inspirational and spiritual leader! We've come across a ton of great photos of the man, but this one hits soooooo close to home, we couldn't resist - enjoy!

A Houston (and far beyond) music institution, many of our friends and heroes have recorded there, and we've had the privilege to shoot some of Houston's hippest there as well. Best wishes to Dan on his next adventure, and to the new owners - please keep up the great work!

Very cool to see our Houston Flood benefit tee featured by Houstonia magazine, along side some other great efforts by local artists. We've taken orders for just a couple dozen so far, but are happy to make as many as are wanted.

Some of you may recall that a couple of years ago we bought, semi-restored (bad-assified) and later sold a sweet little hot rod 1968 Ford F100 pick up. Well not long ago a company called Greenlight Collectibles contacted us and said they were interested in producing a 1:64 scale die cast model of the truck for retail sale in toy and collectibles stores. We were somewhat skeptical at first, but long story short, look what showed up at our door today! The detail on these things are pretty amazing, down to the distressed paint, the big block motor, interior, the Ranger badges and of course the license plate and Tupelo decals on the doors. Pretty cool, we think.

Sad to hear of the impending closing of another of Houston's great old bars - Kay's Lounge. It's joints like Kay's (and Blanco's) that inspired the look of Tupelo Grease Co. Reading between the lines of the story, seems like there may be some life left in the name, somewhere down the road... Hope so.

The land the bar is on near Rice Village is appraised for $668,368.

You probably know that Houston is home to Tupelo Grease Co., and we're sure you've seen what's going on down here these days. Well we can't do much, but we can do this...
