I’m really excited about putting some new items in the shop! I’ve been working on cutting fabric, designing textiles and planning out things to make with some new tools Hysteric Haus has recently acquired. It’s gonna be a Hysterical Summer!

LISTENING TO COLOR
Figure at Night Guided by the Phosphorescent Tracks of Snails
Joan Miro 1940
I’ve been listening to classical music lately during my hellish commutes through Southern California. I find it turns an average, uninteresting drive into an epic journey through time. I live in a fantasy land in my brain and orchestrated music, classical or not, always gets my imagination flowing. A mild form of synesthesia kicks in and sounds turn into colors and colors turn into feelings. It’s quite overwhelming at times; but awesome nonetheless.
On my drive the other day, listening to KUSC 91.5, they played Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue. Being a mild Woody Allen fan, I instantly thought of the opening scene from Manhattan. Once I got over that imagery, as cliché as it sounds, I got lost in the music. The moodiness of the composition evoked shades of blue, violets and grays.
This got me thinking about music in relation to our designs for Hysteric Haus. So I asked myself: If my brand were a musical act, who would it be? What does Hysteric Haus sound like?
Organized chaos comes to mind. Chaos along the lines of Boredoms, OOIOO, Deerhoof, M.I.A. .
Experimental/psychedelic/tribal/colorful cacophony.
Maybe that’s a bit ambitious-but I like the way it sounds.
HYSTERIC HAUS THROUGH IPHONE
I was going through my iPhone photos and came across these random images from the past year. Most of them have been altered using the Picture Show app. I’m not really into Instagram. It makes pictures look too dull for my taste. These pictures are a pretty accurate look into the world of Hysteric Haus.
HYSTERIC HAUS IN ACTION
Photos from our shoot with Julie Klima! This is one of my favorites…I could barely get off the ground! We’re working on developing a press kit and a new website…so we needed some professional photos.
We’re busy printing some new Webwom pillows in new color ways! This print is pretty popular, so I’m excited that it’s back in production.
Preparing to print…burning the design onto the screens. Ho makes it happen.
We’re also designing some new marketing materials for an exciting opportunity we were invited to take part in. More details to come…
Ice cream break!
Hysteric Haus has some exciting things coming up…this should be an interesting year!
THE HYSTERIC HAUS BOOTH @ UNIQUE LA
We were very pleased with our booth this time around….it was very bright, open and textural. AND we had plastic, wood and fuzzy walls!
Hysteric Haus picture frames debuted at this show…people liked them-we had to keep replenishing our stock!
The pillows really pop against the white walls. Our super sexy white flooring also does wonders for the overall effect.
It’s true! Our products are made locally with lots of love.
Lucky cats always travel with us.
Plastic Surgery sold out at the show! More will be produced within the next few weeks.
HYSTERIC HAUS @ UNIQUE LA
Unique LA is upon us! This is the biggest show for Hysteric Haus…we try to go all out. The weeks before are usually chaotic and frustrating and so much fun! The show is always a good time and we always meet some pretty interesting people. If you haven’t been, you should go.
Support local independent artists and designers.
Fuck the mall.
Yeah, I said that.
This will be our 3rd show…check out our booth from the spring show!

A Very Pink Monday
A very pink Monday involved delivering some Shiny Pink‘s and Spaceman pillows to Haus Furniture,
followed by an afternoon shopping on Melrose with Drew, as she purchased some rad floral Docs. I added some new flair to my magenta Hello Kitty bag with a super cute Momiji x Hello Kitty keychain from Japan LA. We then headed to Echo Park so I could pick up some paint and krink for a new project…
