The world in my eyes

Since Sunday tours of James Talbot’s home, Casa Neverlandia in Austin, Texas, are currently not available b/c of the Pandemic, we can take a virtual tour. 

James is an artist who built this home, himself. I’ve heard. It’s still a work in progress. This is the living room looking toward the front of the home.

Simply, the Red Room.

James taking tourists through. The house is also on the Weird Homes Tour in Texas, but you can’t just show up, b/c it’s his private residence. 

Kitchen & breakfast nook. He uses a gray water system and people are surprised when they hear that it has no air conditioning. 

The Record Room.

The Photo Editing Room.

2nd story area.

The Master Bedroom.

The bathroom has a toilet, but James has been using a compost toilet in the back for years. This is a picture of it in progress.

3rd story area.

Sewing room.

Tile making studio.

Bead making studio.

General construction shop.

The Moon Tower in the backyard.

Then suddenly the elderly lady sitting behind us was like ‘young men, either I’m going crazy or you both have never heard of supermarkets, they have shelves full of tea there! Do you need directions to one?’

To which my buddy starts to explain, because why not. ‘Well you see, we’re both trans, and… ’

The lady didn’t wait for him to finish his sentence. ‘Oh no, I don’t mind that at all! Now do you want to know how to get to a place that sells tea? I’m actually heading there right now!’
