touchpuppet is a collaborative cultural outpost created by a like minded group of young artists and consumers. We are photographers, fashion designers, visual absurdists and graduating psychologists. We are part of a culture that we truly love, and this site is as much a reflection of that culture as it is a reflection of ourselves.
In short, we are travel obsessed 20-somethings in love with art, fashion and photography.
Enjoy our site. Send us emails. And if you’re ever in the Austin/Houston (and occasionally Tokyo/London/NY) area, find us out on the town to discuss existentialism and Tom Ford’s latest collection over a pint. It’s on us.

While the occupants may or may not have been able to appreciate them, these buildings are magnificent.
