Steel Chrysalis ~ The Jazz Diva Boudoir

🌈✨ Van life after dark just got fabulous. When the campfire’s low but your vibe is high, flip the switch and let the rainbow roll. These lights aren’t just for setting up camp — they’re for setting the mood. From floodlights for glamping setup to disco beams that scream “party’s here!” — this van shines like a rolling aurora. 🎶 Beach nights. Bright lights. Big smiles. 👉 tretaylor.com

🌅🚐 Sunset at Mussel Rock Park — van life meets edge-of-the­ world. Perched high above the Pacific in Daly City/Pacifica, this place is special. The doors of your van swing open, the flood-lights glow, and the horizon whispers of crab boats already singing into crab-season dreams. Down below, paragliders drift off the cliffs, the sea air tastes of salt and freedom. Van life isn’t just “living on the road”—it’s showing up where the world gets wide and wild. For the mementos, the moments, the magic. 👉 tretaylor.com

🌞🚐 Morning at the Santa Monica Pier — van life, LA-style. The sun’s just waking up over the Pacific, coffee in hand, laughter still echoing from last night’s adventures. My girlfriend and I had rolled down from Encinitas, chasing light, freedom, and family along the coast. There’s something electric about waking up in the heart of LA — parked near the pier, ocean breeze on your face, hiding in plain sight, and feeling completely alive. 💛 Wherever the road takes you, beauty follows. 👉 tretaylor.com

Van Life Crab Jam Tailgate — February 2026 | Studio 3: The Steel Chrysalis

Here are a few highlights from a beautiful Crab Jam tailgate at Pillar Point Harbor in Half Moon Bay — a joyful gathering of foodie friends celebrating Dungeness crab season the way we love best: fresh crab straight from the boats, sunshine, music, and spontaneous community. Valerie Wilson (our beloved Queen of the Crab Boil) and I share a deep crab obsession, and this small Super Bowl weekend gathering turned into the sweetest day of laughter, shared dishes, new van-life friendships, and ocean-air freedom.

This video also offers a little peek inside Studio 3 — the Steel Chrysalis, my minimalist shiny-on-the-inside mobile art space and nomadic creative studio. Van life makes moments like this possible: freedom, food, friendship, and the simple magic of setting up a tailgate feast wherever the road meets the sea. Love, music, food, art, and fun — with Tré Taylor & Bleep the Tattoo 🦀✨ www.tretaylor.com
