Universal Atlas | A Survey Of Our Wares

Troutdale Kingdom Part 1. A Serialized Novel In Progress by Scott Tienken.

Rawlings was shouting and no one cared. Jumping up and down in the truck bed. Gesticulating and frothing. Another election year nut. Shoppers clutched their bags and-or children and hurried on. Rawlings snapped. Another tipless break was almost over.“You’re the Versailles of parking lots, Troutdale!...

Your Local | TriMet Diaries

Lulled into that proprietary feeling standing at your local at SE 60th and Flavel. Soaking up some of the deep southeast night ambiance waiting to bus up for the three minute ride to SE Woodstock for a wife meet up at The Lutz. That frost-assed, bottoming cloud cover high in the sky over Sawyers Con...

The buildings are literally running amok and a public bus is a harrowed citizenry’s only refuge in Scott Tienken’s futurist-jigsaw-gothic Mass Transportation. Join the citizens of Broken City as they flee from ambulatory buildings, urban ghosts, and each other; all too distracted to realize their on...

Network Awesome Magazine: The Ballerina Cowboys of The Great American Cowboy

Tienken does a piece for Network Awesome magazine.

The good clear light shines fair and just on the righteous cowboys of Kieth Merrill’s The Great American Cowboy, the 1973 Academy Award winner for best documentary. Ostensibly framed around a rodeo championship battle pitting old salt and 5X champ Larry Mahan against previous year’s young buck champ

It’s common knowledge that curating is becoming a dominant art form in the 21st century, which only makes sense as we’re entering the era that Patton Oswalt calls Etewaf: Everything That Ever Was—Available Forever. All over the internet people are trying to sort through infinity, and others are step

Wetdream radiators hiss through the slum room I sublet deep in the dispositions of dilate; flags I shoplift from the United Nations Building drape each icky splinter of my lap; lame ledgers caress me; every inventory of reality ends up xerox; my overdue rent has Croesus nervous, defunded as regularl

Trailhead sign-board for the Pacific Crest Trail just north of Stevenson, Washington. The staples are dropped anchors; all the possible warnings/maps/informoids posted back through the decades summon the legs who’ve walked the trail or walked the environs when there was no trail; all portions; clear

The Plastic Harmony band is the (mostly) solo debut by Paul Haines of The Bugs. I was hoping to release the digital version on The Cartophile Imprint but there is just no competing with Supermegacorporation. You can download the album here.

Scott is doing good work. "*There is no such thing as an abandoned building. All buildings are inhabited by ghosts."

Bisected by the N. Interstate max line and two stone throws northwest of the Rose Garden is an old city block hemmed in by the industrial train tracks. The active port is just the other side of the tracks. Through the fogged windows you can see a few dormant vats (the size villains fall into and are

The 1,000 Mysterious Doors project continues.

Abandoned semi- cab in the middle of a vacant lot with a junk pile or two. The nakedness of the block makes the approach to the singular door feel like you are exposed, vulnerable, lapsing into mistake (hubris of breeching a single door without the company of others.) Hidden in back-drop is the cont

Tony's is another piece in Tienken's "Libretto For Cities."

Tony’s is on a rampart above a highway ramp. Access is via a pretty serpentine route. You have to be dedicated or semi-regular or in-luck to get to Tony’s. When you arrive it appears as likely you will get a sandwichorsoda as an oil change. Would like to see Tony and his pals sitting some lawn chair...

Open-air cubicle.

Open-aired rooms with mysterious plumbing abound in NW Nicolia. What a place to set up a desk and lamp, or have a picnic. The metal and soot, drip and dinge affixed to outdoor walls are carbuncles and artifacts. Or maybe pimples or beauty marks. Would like to see a band play in this open-air cubicle...
