Adrian Landon Brooks is an Austin-based fine artist and muralist celebrated for his “modern relics”—ethereal, symbolic works that explore universal themes of love, loss, and redemption. His practice is defined by his use of unconventional, reclaimed materials, including weathered wood, metal, and antique photographs, which he transforms into otherworldly landscapes and mystical iconography.

Featured Work at Creó
At the Creó Houston shop, you can experience both his large-scale public art and intimate studio pieces:

Courtyard Mural: A site-specific installation that serves as an architectural extension of the space. His murals are often scaled-up versions of his studio paintings, featuring his signature geometric patterns, cosmic structures (like portals and starscapes), and celestial elements.

Original Studio Works: The shop features a curated selection of his fine art, which include:

Works on Paper: Detailed ink and gouache illustrations, often on deckled paper, featuring his recurring “hands of worship” and suspended figures.

Warpaint Series: Unique, hand-altered antique cabinet card photos that blend historical portraiture with surreal, modern symbols.

Textile 101 with was amazing!

The afternoon was full of skill building, story-telling, and laughter as everyone learned alongside each other in our studio. It was magical to see how quickly people picked up on the craft, and how much they were willing to help one another through each of the steps.

The group lingered long after the class was over to keep crafting, explore our shop, and connect with each other. It was clear that fabric wasn't the only thing being sewn together here... so was community!

Huge thanks to everyone who attended and made this class so special, and congratulations/highest of fives to our friend James for hosting her first workshop ever!

We'll definitely be hosting more workshops with Yarntrash in the future. In the meantime, check out what else we have coming up on our calendar via the link in our bio ~>

From fashion, to film, to fine art - we've got tons of books that will help you explore the practices, and stories of some of the world's greatest creative minds.

We believe in the value of what we offer here at Creó, but we also know how hard it can be to continuously invest in your own creative journey. With that in mind, we're almost always running a sale on one thing or another here in our mercantile. One month it's plants to fill your space with life, another it might be craft kits, art, apothecary items, or discounts on workshops.

It's less about giving you a "deal" for us and more about hoping these sales will foster accessibility, and give you a reason to go in a different direction every time you come through our door.

Sound Salon : Where Houston Listens

Connection through sound can come in many forms. From creating it together, to picking up on a beloved tune humming distantly through the speakers at a coffee shop - we hear and experience it in so many ways throughout the landscape of our conscious world.. but how often are we exclusively listening?

Like all forms of art and connection, we are always looking for new ways to build community within experience. With that intention in mind, we're excited to finally launch our listening session series, Sound Salon.

For this opening evening, Hasaan Olu will perform an experimental jazz fusion set in the courtyard.

Todays Zine workshop was so dreamy ☁️🤩☁️

Seeing people turn once blank pages into expressions of their inner worlds was truly mesmerizing. Listening to everyone share / interpret their dreams, and explain the ways they chose to represent them in their zines felt as collectively connective as it did cathartic. Expression comes in so many forms - and using old magazines, glue sticks, and folded pieces of paper is definitely one of the funniest ways to do it!

Huge thanks to the wonderful folks from for sharing their time, skills, and incredible collaborative energy with our community. Give their page a follow to check out the other workshops they host around town and, of course, reach out to them if you're a zine'ster so you can join them for Zinefest 2026 this fall at The Orange Show.

Got unfinished voice memos, random notebook lines, or Grammy worthy shower-thought choruses you don't know where to take next? Ben knows how that goes - and has plenty of advice on ways you can take them from spark to song.

Part One ☝️
Exploring the fundamentals of creative process, lyric craft, melody, and structure—learning how to capture ideas and turn them into something real.

Part Two ✌️
Diving deeper into refinement, arrangement, and sharing your work, with practical feedback and tools you can use long after the class ends.

Whether you’re brand new to songwriting or looking to sharpen your voice, this class offers inspiration, technique, and a supportive space to write bravely and honestly.

SONGWRITING WORKSHOP

New Workshop : Paper Making with Johnathan Paul Jackson 📃✨

Do you have a craving to write, draw, craft, or sculpt with new materials and textures that feel uniquely yours? Would it be even better if you could create those materials with everyday "scraps", or odds and ends from other projects that you otherwise might've just tossed away?

If that sounds inspiring to you then you'll definitely want to sign up for our Paper Making workshop with Jonathan Paul Jackson!

In this hands-on workshop he will share his unique paper making techniques - oriented around using simple materials like a kitchen blender, recycled paper scraps, dryer lint, and water. Techniques he's spent years honing in to masterfully create everything from sheets as delicate as standard paper, to sculptural forms up to four inches thick.

Paper Making Workshop
🗓️ March 8th
⏰11am - 12pm
📍748 E. 12th St. // Houston, Heights

This is just one of the many art forms Jonathan Paul Jackson is known for. If you've spent any time wandering around Houston hot-spots over the years it's highly likely you've seen his art woven into the cultural landscape of our city... including right here in our shop!

Click the link in our bio to sign up for this workshop, or swing by Creó to check out his work in person and get one of his incredible pieces for your own collection. ~>

Long before Valentine’s Day became about cards and candy, St. Valentine was remembered as a figure who honored love and connection againts all odds. Most people don't know this, but he performed marriages in secret when they were forbidden by law during war times in Rome (or at least one story says so.. there's apparently 3 saints named Valentine!)

Much like the Saint(s) this holiday gets its name from, we are all learning new things about love all the time. The Valentine legacy grew from these fabled beginnings into a day to celebrate care, devotion, and the bonds between all people.

At Creó, we believe love isn’t just romantic — it’s friendship, family, community, and self-love too. 💛 This week we’re celebrating all kinds of love with thoughtful gifts, meaningful objects, and small gestures of care with some extra sweet offerings. 😘😘😘

Stop by and share the love with us — we’re handing out free carnations and roses all day as a simple reminder that everyone deserves a little beauty and appreciation.

Love is for everyone. 🌹
