It trolls for thee

Austin will soon add another troll to its population, and though the news isn’t popular with everyone, Pease Park Conservancy is ready to celebrate its most recent public art initiative. The project has already gone through the city process and been approved, with installation to begin late next month. The troll, which is the creation of “Recycling Art Activist” Thomas Dambo, is one of more than 100 trolls worldwide and will be fully funded and maintained by the conservancy. Those curious about the ins and outs of the new Austinite can check out the surprisingly extensive FAQs here.
