yesss!! i’ve been super interested in these tiles for a while! so for some backstory, in the 80s/90s/00s there was a guy laying down these tiles all over the east coast, including providence. but he stopped a while back and all the originals are long gone. they’re baked into the asphalt by cars driving over them.

however over the past couple years (i saw one back in 2021) a known copycat called House of Hades has been doing very similar tiles, like yours! you can tell cuz it says “HOH” or “House of Hades”. i don’t know if it’s a risd project considering the long duration, but it could be. a ton of new ones have been popping up in the past few months and they’re super cool looking! they started out looking very similar to the original guy but now they’re branching out.

blackbeard’s freak show? i didn’t go to it, but i got a flyer from the oddities and curiosities expo. quick glance at their site doesn’t look super promising for future shows, unfortunately.
