We like to make stuff.
Lowbrow NSB is a multigenerational team made up of Anthony Bartolucci, Cayla Bartolucci-Kaualoku and Kaleo Kaualoku. From postcards to magnets to music, we’re a family of makers that enjoy working together.
Postcards
Our postcards feature the work of Anthony and his father, Frank Bartolucci, who was also an artist. When Frank passed away in 2012, Anthony and Cayla began a remembrance project to honor their late father/grandfather. Each month they’d create and send a postcard with Frank’s art to friends and family. They sent out a total of 84 postcards— one for every year of Frank’s life. The project lasted for 7 years.
When they completed their celebration of life and art, they felt inspired to keep the good times going. In 2020, with more time on his hands, Anthony decided to experiment with his own artwork and Bartoons were born. Illustrating everything and anything he could get his eyes on (mostly comic books, cartoons, movies and family), Anthony loves creating and sharing. He’ll even do a custom piece for you if you’d like. Use our Contact form or send us an email to learn more.
Art
This is a rotating collection of different pieces— you could see Frank Bartolucci originals, magnets, earrings, clocks… who knows! Generally we love to recycle and reuse materials with our favorites being second-hand thrifted items, magnets, and natural resources. You can also guarantee that, if Cayla’s behind the wheel, a nice pair of googley eyes will be involved. Check in often to see what’s available and ready to go home with you.
Music
Kaleo’s band, Spooky Folk, released their first self-titled album in 2010. It was a four-time nominee of the Dallas Observer Music Awards for Best New Act, Best Indie Act, and Best Song (Bible Belt) and was described as "...smart lyrics, memorable arrangements and timeless appeal." by Pete Freedman with the Dallas Observer.
In 2014, they launched an IndieGoGo campaign to help them press their sophomore album, Youth is a Notion, to vinyl. They accomplished their goal and we still have a few left to sell… want one? These sales will go to the members of the band. See the original campaign video Cayla and Kaleo made below.
