Happy Holidays!! 

     

We went all out on Halloween this year with 

3 big projects back-to-back in one weekend, 

then we started planning our Thanksgiving meal 

(a "fajita-stuffed turkey" was mentioned), 

put up our Christmas tree, 

AND watched The Muppet Christmas Carol the very next day. 

We're ready. 

 

*    *    *    *    * 

Our Colonial Haunt: The Lost Garrison 

event on Halloween weekend was EPIC! 

We built webs and floors traps 

all around the museum's campus. . .

 

We placed 100 handmade spiders 

throughout the grounds. . . 

We hung bodies in the Victim's Forest. . . 

and placed Mother in her web! 

We made all the components in 

our new home workshop, 

and Mother lived on our back porch 

for a few weeks. . . 

We also got to write our first script together 

and had so much fun rehearsing with the cast! 

Can't wait for the chance to stage 

more productions at this amazing venue 

in the heart of historic downtown! 

*    *    *    *    * 

Opening night for the haunt was Friday, 

and then Saturday found us 

at James Weldon Johnson Park 

downtown Jacksonville 

to open for Dr. Bacon in full troll regalia! 

*    *    *    *    * 

Then Sunday, we produced our 

inFESTation! Local Music Resurrection event 

at Colonial Oak Music Park!

with Bonnie Blue,

The Space Heaters, 

Bryce Alastair Band, 

and The Whigs!! 

and I got to wear my new tie-dye 

from Sanbro Trippy Tees! 

A HUGE thanks to our friends 

the Wileys who have always supported us 

and who teamed up with us to provide 

photography, videography, and hospitality 

 for all of our bands. They're awesome!

Hello again! 

We have weathered the funk and we are finally emerging 

from the fog of the past year and a half. 

We spent the time planning and investing in our company 

and we're ready to announce some big projects and plans! 

*    *    *    *    *

We are incredibly excited to share that 

we've been chosen to decorate 

the Colonial Quarter living history museum 

in downtown St. Augustine 

for a walk-through Halloween Haunt this year!!! 

Sooooooo. . .

We're building 100s of spiders including a giant mother, 

plus nests, eggs, victims, and webs, 

to place the old colony under siege. 

We're also working with the director and actors of the 

St. Augustine Pirate Museum 

to create a script for the haunt experience on 

Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights 

October 29th, 30th, and 31st!! 

Also in the Colonial Quarter, 

will host a day of music at the 

Colonial Oak Music Park 

all day on Halloween! 

Tickets for the haunt will be available at the gate across from 

the Castillo de San Marcos 

so you can go straight from the haunt experience 

into the Music Park for the concert! 

 

---

 

The music scene is finally reviving and 

we've been working hard to re-establish all our connections. 

It has paid off, and we've almost booked

Happy Holidays!! 

We are making lots of holiday yard art 

and Christmas decorations this season! 

Nutcrackers 

and decorations for your porch or hearth: 

You can check out our listings on Facebook Marketplace, 

stop by Zora Bora Art Gallery on Cuna Street to look at a few pieces, 

or contact us through our website for prices. 

We'll be posting a few more pieces as we finish them 

in the upcoming days.

Our Astronaut Academy exhibit 

is currently on display at Ocala's Discovery Center 

and runs through January 2, 2021! 

Here are some making-of pictures 

of the months-long process 

to create these pieces from scratch: 

 

International Space Station 

Low-Grav Simulator 

We started by harvesting styrofoam 

electronic packaging for months. 

We gave it all a hard coat 

and a layer of resin to protect and reinforce the shapes. 

Next, we painted panels off-white, blue, and grey. 

We added harvested electronic parts like 

interfaces, cords, cables, and splitters. 

We affixed these panels to the tube structure 

we had already built and base-painted. 

Then, we wired all the parts together and added foil tape. 

We finished the outside with silver metallic spray paint and 

more hoses, tubes, and interfaces. 

*   *   *   *   * 

Mission Control 

We started by making Broadway-style theatre flats 

for the displays, then constructed the base parallelograms. 

We used NASA program icon decals and 

poster-sized photos, then enhanced them by hand. 

For the base, we hand-painted each of the flight instruments before 

a few coats of professional-grade clear coat. 

The other side of this display is our 

Solar System Model 

We made the flats first, then went to work on the base 

and our 3D hemisphere models. 

 

We have a few mural projects in the works, so hopefully 

we'll have announcements for our next newsletter 

so we can start 2021 off right! 

 

---

 

Our music scene is gaining steam 

and we have a few gigs coming up, 

plus a festival this weekend! 

Stephen will be playing Sunday at 1:40pm. 

and we're still playing the courtyard at Casa Maya 

every Wednesday from 6 - 10pm! 

We hope your holiday spirit has survived intact this year, 

that you've watched the newest episodes of 

The Great British Baking Show: Holidays, 

and you've seen The Muppet Christmas Carol at 

least 12 times so far this month. 

 

This year is almost over! We can do it! 

 

We hope to see you on the road! Rock on! 

Peace and love, 

Stephen and Jessica

 

 We've just returned from Ocala 

where we finished installing 

Astronaut Academy 

at the Discovery Center! 

We also made a replica of the NASA 

Mission Control Center: 

And we built our first ride! 

The International Space Station 

Micro-Gravity Simulator: 

Kids can pull themselves along through the ISS fuselage 

on a custom NASA automotive creeper. 

We also made mobiles of the ISS, Hubble telescope, 

and Voyager probe. 

 

ISS: 

Hubble telescope: 

Voyager: 

Our friend Teri LeMarco helped us paint 

some backdrops for photo opportunities on Mars and the Moon. 

Martian landscape with 

RC Rover Curiosity course: 

Lunar backdrop with RC Rover course: 

We designed and built a 

Gravity Simulator with lunchboxes: 

 a Wormhole portal: 

and we turned the building's elevator into a Space Shuttle 

with instrument panels: 

This project was probably the most fun yet. 

We love working with the staff at 

Ocala's Discovery Center to design exhibits! 

Our next newsletter will have all kinds of behind the scenes 

and making-of photos with links to videos on our 

YouTube channel.

The music business is recovering 

and we've been thrilled to play a couple of 

outdoor events this month! 

We live-streamed for the 

Sing Out Loud Festival 

at the St. Augustine Amphitheater's 

Back Porch Stage 

the last weekend of September 

and you can watch Stephen's performance here! 

*    *    *    *    * 

We also played 

The St. Augustine Alligator Farm's 

and had a great setup in their amphitheater! 

Which means we also got to visit our mural! 

 

*     *    *    *    * 

We have a few more upcoming October gigs: 

Casa Maya downtown on Hypolita St. 

on the 14th, 21st, and 28th from 6 to 10pm. 

and at the Cellar Upstairs 

at the San Sebastian Winery 

on the 22nd from 1 to 4pm.

Hello friends, 

We have been busy over the past few weeks 

completing a permanent public art installation for the 

Ocala Recreation & Parks Department! 

We designed and built 57 custom acoustic panels 

for the stage of the E.D. Croskey Recreation Center 

to host the Levitt AMP Ocala Music Series!

The final product is 16 feet tall and 80 feet wide!

Anchoring the frame to the concrete block wall: 

Panels packed and ready for transport: 

Attaching individual panels to the lumber frame: 

Special thanks to Meagan Gumpert with MAVEN Photography! 

 

Next up, we're onto Phase II of the Croskey project which includes 

rafter traps (acoustic boards hung from the ceiling) 

and corner traps in the basketball court 

that makes up most of the building. 

 

*    *    *    *    * 

 

Our Astronaut Academy exhibit was delayed, 

but now we have a new opening date of October 3rd!! 

We'll be putting the finishing touches on our pieces,

at the end of September.

these past few months as well as we have,

Greetings from Pigtopia, 

     We hope this finds you all healthy and rested. 

A lot has changed since our last newsletter, 

and we are grateful to have ongoing projects 

in our private workshop so we can get 

out of the house and keep ourselves safe and 

productive at the same time. 

Astronaut Academy is taking shape 

in the form of foam and fiberglass interface panels, 

gravity simulator, 

and Mission Control mock up. 

The opening of the exhibit has been pushed back a little, 

but we are still on track to install it at the end of April 

at Ocala's Discovery Center. 

*    *    *    *    * 

Our sound-absorbing panels are being prepped for 

fabrication over the next few weeks 

and we can't wait to post pictures of our process! 

Our fabric should be here next week 

and our design will start to take shape!

 Although our music scene is on hiatus for now, 

we'll still be making lemonade by writing, recording, and streaming 

as the muse dictates. 

Check out our Sunday brunch Facebook livestreams 

here and here! 

Our tour has been postponed, 

but we'll keep you posted on new dates 

as the future comes into focus. 

In the meantime. . .

The good news is we've done tons of yard work 

and fencing at the house 

and we'll continue piddling around 

for as long as it takes! 

 

We've even been camping in the backyard for a few days now. . . 

We hope you're all holding up well, 

staying safe and sane, and tapping into your own 

creative flow with this change of pace. 

We reeeeeaaally hope to see you on the road soon! Rock on! 

Peace and love, 

Stephen and Jessica

Good news!

This exhibit is going to fill a gym, 

so we have a few more pieces to construct, 

plus some replicas to hang as mobiles from the rafters!

We also received the Notice to Proceed 

on our other contract with Ocala, 

our sound-absorbing public art installation

Seasons Greetings, 

We are so grateful to be busy this fall! 

We have new projects and partnerships 

for our company to celebrate! 

*     *     *     *     *

We are happy to announce we have 

a new partnership with First Coast Opera 

to do scenic design, fabrication, and stage-management 

for their current season. 

We just completed our first production with them: 

a dinner theatre production of La Boheme! 

The setting is a Parisian apartment 

overlooking 1830s Montmartre, 

so we draped the set in canvas 

and made two huge French windows 

with scenes including La Basilique du Sacre Couer, 

Notre-Dame du Paris, and le Arc de Triomphe. 

(Construction on the Eiffel Tower didn't start until 1887, 

so she didn't make it into our landscape this time.) 

*     *     *     *     * 

We are also already working on their next production: 

Gilbert & Sullivan's 

H.M.S. Pinafore 

We'll build gunwales, a poop deck with cabins, masts 

and a bow to frame the action on this fictional brigantine. 

The show runs January 4th and 5th 

at Flagler College's Lewis Auditorium 

and tickets are already available here! 

*     *     *     *     * 
   This Halloween we also partnered with 

Radioactive Horror Events 

out of Gainesville, FL 

 to design and build two life-size 

creepy clowns for their haunted circus! 

It was pretty awesome having them 

hang out on our couch for a few weeks; 

we'll miss Uncle Chuck and Aunt Frank. 

*     *     *     *     * 

As soon as HMS Pinafore opens, 

we'll be moving on to our next project for 

the City of Ocala's Discovery Center! 

"Astronaut Academy" 

will run from April 11 to July 27, 2020 

and we are currently designing and drafting 

our installation! 

*     *     *     *     * 

Our "In the Moment" Arts Education project 

has also booked a musical performance and 

song-writing workshop at 

Volusia County Public Library 

for next summer's educational series for school kids! 

*     *     *     *     * 

We have a couple other projects in the works, 

but you'll have to stay tuned for 

the official announcements once the deals are inked. . .

with their generous support for our neighbors.

who tour frequently, have a good following, 

and have the potential for growth.

Looking back on February, 

we had a blast, as always, on our 

Sunshine City mini-tour to St. Pete! 

We played at Cage Brewing

and sampled the delicious brews from local Mother Kombucha. 

The Blue Rose and Jasmine Flower are our favorites. 

Mmmmmmmmmmm. . . 

We also played The Blueberry Patch for the first time and loved it! 

This is Florida's Longest Surviving Artist Retreat! 
 

You can see the beautiful grounds in this live video of 

"Where Will You & I Be?" from the new album! 

*     *     * 

We also played our first gig at Pinellas Ale Works 

and met some amazing new friends who introduced us to 

The Burg Bar & Grill and we can't thank them enough! 

*     *     * 

We're fired up about all of our upcoming projects! 

We can't wait to share photos, videos 

and experiences with you all! 

 

We hope to see y'all on the road! Rock on! 

Peace and love, 

Stephen & Jessica

cypress swamp, and long-leaf pine forest. 

No sneak peeks on this project, but it's going very well!

includes an 8 ft-long 3D floating brain sculpture!
