Today we visited Charlie. Charlie, or Chasterus, http://chaster.us/, as he is known on the web, is a full-time resident here at Slab City. His artwork is well known here locally, as well as by those who frequent his blogs. He is going to have open house every Wednesday afternoon. I have been yearning to check out more of his artwork and see Walter, the buried transit bus, up close, but have been holding back because it just isn't polite to drop in.
I did get to take several pictures, as well as enjoy the company of other like minded people who enjoy living outside the "grid". Charlie enjoys taking other peoples castoffs and changing them into art. He is in the process of building a three story tower. He also has some decorated cars. His VW bus is aptly named Cinamon and has traveled all around the states attending art shows, as well as several stints at the burning man festival.
