But the beat-up homes in Houston, Texas, are in fact an elaborate traffic-stopping work of art using the homes’ own wood siding.At first glance, these houses looks like they could have been the victim of a dramatic gas explosion. Artists Dan Havel and Dean Ruck smashed the interior walls of the homes, before nailing the wooden planking at strange angles to complete their project.

this is sorta how i pictured the ending of house in house of leaves. wow.

“The papers all say that “JOHNNY IS TRUANT!”
And his mother’s reportedly ruined.
He’s gone to the wind,
God knows how he’s sinned,
‘cause in Latin he’s practically fluent.”

Asked to design a poster for the future film of his dreams, Tom Lacey made one for House of Leaves.

…YOU WISH.

FURTHERMORE this is the rarest and most UNIQUE COPY of House of Leaves in existence because IT IS LARGER ON THE INSIDE THAN IT IS ON THE OUTSIDE. During the signing process the author discovered that the introduction page has accidentally folded over on one corner during the production stage and can be folded out beyond the parameters of the book design. He has duly annotated the “overhang” with “1/4 inch extra” in red, black and blue and signed the verso of the ‘overhang” PLH (also in red, black and blue). The most extraordinary copy of this extraordinary book

Price:

NZ$9,999.99 (approx US$6,999.99)

single best house of leaves reference i’ve ever encountered.

actually the only one.

“Little solace comes to those who grieve,
when thoughts keep drifting,
as walls keep shifting,
and this great blue world of ours,
seems a house of leaves,
moments before the wind.”

-  Mark Z. Danielewski, House Of Leaves (via bethhht)

“i took my morning walk, i took my evening walk, i ate something, i thought about something, i wrote something, i napped and dreamt something too, and with all that something, i still have nothing because so much of sum’things has always been and always will be you.
i miss you.”
