Coachella Media Wrap-up
Hey all’ya all — I’m back from an amazing showing of the Steampunk Treehouse at Coachella. Last year at this time, when we were first starting the project, I would have never gussed that I’d be able to watch Roger Waters and Prince preform while swinging my feet from the […]
Coachella By The Numbers
LA Weakly blog (pronounced Hell-A Weakly, according the great show Californication) has put together some nifty excel graphs to addres the question: Who are these 128 bands [at Coachella], collectively? As one big amalgam, what are they? I couldn’t resist a data heavy write up about Coachella given that we […]

Steampunk Treehouse — Coachella update — Spreader Bar

Steampunk Treehouse — Coachella update — Signature Plate
The other night while preping the Treehosue for Coachella we realized that we never signed it. So we’ve decided to create a “signature plate” that would have the name of the piece and the names of everyone who worked on it. Here is the design I whipped up quickly (so […]

Steampunk Treehouse — Coachella update — Copper Patina Samples
It’s difficult to see in most of the photos of the tree house but the inside of the Triparator windows (on the house wall … yes I’ll get a photo soon) is lined with copper. It always struck me as odd (though no one else ever noticed) that everything on […]
Steampunk Treehouse — Coachella update
The new patina on the roof of Steampuk Treehose is starting to take shape. Our goal is to give the roof some really aged blue-green color by applying a fresh layer of paint on the rusted metal, and then systematically (and artfully) destroying that layer of paint. Last weekend we […]
Steampunk Treehouse — Etching for the Burning Man office
Last night I also got a good photo of the etching I made for the gift the Steampunk Treehouse crew is giving the Burning Man office to thank them for all their support last year. I did the etching and Martin did the frame. Kate and Sean lent a hand […]
Steampunk Treehouse — Coachella update
Well Coachella is coming up really soon and the Steampunk Treehouse crew has been hard at work getting our little treehouse ready. We’ve gotten a bulk of the basic upkeep and repair work done and can now take some time to do some cosmetic work. One of the first things […]
